Please plan to arrive at least 15-minutes prior to your tour reservation.

When we take your card number to hold a reservation, we don’t put a charge on your card and it’s information is encrypted (for security purposes). Therefore, you will need to present your credit card at the time of checkout.

There are a number of reasons we may cancel your flight due to weather (wind, low clouds, rain, etc.). Simply put, we will not take you up on a day where you will not be thrilled with your flight. Your pilot has the authority to cancel, change, or shorten a flight due to weather or other variables. If we cancel your flight due to inclement weather we will gladly reschedule your flight for the next best time and date. NOTE: Tours that are cancelled or rescheduled by us due to weather do not incur any cancellation charges.

If you would like to change your flight to a longer tour, we ask that you give us as much notice as possible. Our tours are often booked back-to-back and it may be difficult for us to accommodate last-minute changes. We will do our best to accommodate you if at all possible.

Please call us right away if you need to reschedule or cancel your tour reservation. As a small business, it’s important that we be able to rebook that time for another customer. We require at least 24-hours notice for this.
