Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Book a longer ride if you can. You'll see more of the island, spot the historic sites, industrial ships,cruise ships and even some wildlife from the air.

First time experiencing a helicopter ride, it was fun but it could’ve been more fun if the pilot was not dead cold. Tbh he seemed like a d*** to me.

Our favorite part of our experience today was the friendliness of the staff and my son says the takeoff ! My opinion… ignore the rude reviews on here y'all the staff was very kind and the pilot was amazing ! Yes we paid $50 a person and they told us upfront that with taxes it would be exactly $120 and it was there was no hidden fees.

So very delightful the whole experience was. The staff definitely made it enjoyable. The tour was very interesting and much thanks to the pilot who I feel felt my fear and flew the helicopter with extra care. I highly recommend this experience.

I think all the staff was very nice.
The booking system needs some updates as they over book the time from online verse straight up pay in person. We had to stand in the line after getting there 10mintues prior as we were instructed the day before paying in person, then waiting another 40mintues is not very good specially with the 108 heat index.
The helicopter ride is great, nice take off and landing, enjoyed the beach view but after paying the $100 per person x 2 @ 200 bucks plus tax and some crazy fees, to never see any marine life as I was expecting to see for just this few munities ride. (10min)
* I WAS VERY DISAPOOINTED I WOULD NEVER TAKE THIS ADVENTURE AGAIN NOR WOULD I RECOMEND IT TO A FRIEND AS I FEEL THEY DID NOT LIVE UP TO THERE SALES OFFER!
Respectfully my opinion

We made a reservation online but that didn’t matter. They let another group go ahead of us after refueling even though our time was before there’s and we’d already been waiting 40 minutes. My kids had a great time but said the pilot was short with the answers and seemed like he didn’t want to really talk.

The ride was smooth and cabin was nice and cool. Pilot was friendly. Wish ride was a little longer than 7 minutes for $108. Other than that it was fun.

We travel allot and have priced out other helicopter rides. This has been the best value we have found! The pilot was knowledgeable and very fun to hang out with. I highly recommend you take the longest ride or multiple rides if you can with this company you wont regret it!

I have a beach house near the helicopter tours in Galveston and see them flying constantly especially during the summer time. My cousin has never been in a helicopter so we went by to see what the deal was. They do 7 min tours to 40 min tours. Just depends on what you want to spend on it. There were a lot of people there taking the 7 min tours because it was $35 and they wanted to say they had been in a helicopter. My cousin did the 11 min flight and it took her from one end of the island to half way down the island. It’s a quick flight for sure. You’ll see more the longer your up. The pilots were very friendly and I would recommend this for anyone wanting to try a helicopter tour. They do sunset tours as well. It is on Stewart Beach so easy to get to. They are very good about safety around the helicopter and blades.
