How high do helicopters fly?
Flights take place at an altitude of between 200 metres and 500 metres.
This low altitude allows you to enjoy the scenery without losing any detail.
What is it like to fly in a helicopter?
The experience is very different from a small plane. One important difference is that helicopters are noisier.
During the flight, you will be provided with ear protectors including headphones. This allows you to converse with the pilot and the other passengers.
Is it easy to get dizzy in a helicopter?
Take-off, landing and sudden changes in altitude when flying in a helicopter can make many people dizzy.
If you are prone to motion sickness, we recommend that you buy Biodramine without a prescription from a pharmacy and discuss this with your pilot before the flight.
