“The flight experience was great, our pilots were very friendly and helpful. Everything about the flight itself was explained even upon check in, the process was smooth. The only reason this did not get 5 stars is due to the lack of signage and airport support. As we didn’t know where to go we ended up in the main airport and asked security which sent us the wrong way and to the Heli tours. We wasted a lot of time walking around and trying to figure out where to go. Little disappointing with that. Overall, still a great experience.”
