Whitehaven beach from the air.... go by helicopter - you will not regret it!

Published on Oct, 2023

After booking, the communication with Airlie Helicopters was first class. They arranged pick up from the hotel right on time. Darren was very friendly and informative. At the airfield Justin, the pilot went through safety procedures, took photos for us and got us ready to fly. We booked for just the two of us and it was a perfect experience. Justin provided an excellent commentary as we passed over some of the most spectacular scenery on the planet. I cannot think of anything that could have improved the overall experience...First class
