(He will be alright when he passes his test (if he reads this he will get this)) the views from the air of the harbour etc were just to good for words. Highly highly recommend this trip.asma lamaasma lama ★★★★☆ I had a fantastic experience during the 30-minute tour, which felt like a mere 10 minutes. Shawn, our skilled pilot, treated us to some exhilarating roller coaster-like maneuvers.Unfortunately, due to time constraints, we were unable to capture enough pictures with the helicopter, as Shawn had another customer to attend to promptly. Nonetheless, the tour was overall excellent and left us with great memories.js_loader
