Testimonials
A fantastic tour of portions of the island that are only accessible by plane. Pilots will fly you up and over mountains, through canyons, and even into a volcano surrounded by clouds and waterfalls. We did this with our teenagers, and they had a great time.

Everyone, including our 11-year-old, had a fantastic day. The temperature changes according to height, clouds, and wind; wear trousers and long sleeves. Bring a camera lanyard as well! Brian was an excellent tour guide who recommended several interesting locations to see across the island. Take the tour early in your vacation so that your staff can benefit from these tips.
