We LOVED every minute of this excursion! Pilot Mike was excellent and knowledgeable on the helicopter ride. Colorado float was so relaxing and fun. Captain Ron kept the tour going with his key points and was friendly to our needs along the way. Highly recommend this tour!

The views were amazing, the pilot was great. We had a combined helicopter tour followed by rafting with another company. The rafting was great as well. However, we were to get lunch, snacks and drinks. It was a 5:45 am pick up before restaurants are open for breakfast. There was a back and forth between the companies about who was transferring us and when and we didn’t get lunch until 4:30 pm. The second company provided snacks: cereal bars, crackers and gummies. We didn’t get an apology and we didn’t eat the lunch as it was too late and close to supper. We paid $1823.59 Canadian for two people. My advice is to make sure you have some food as the day was overshadowed because we were so hungry.
