The best time of the day to go is mid- to early morning, before the arrival
of cloud covers that often come in the afternoon. Most people will advise you to
avoid flights that are less than an hour in length; they may only serve to whet
your appetite, and you’ll regret not spending a little more to maximize your
experience.
Most helicopters are of the six-seat variety, and specific seating cannot be
guaranteed (seats are assigned to properly balance the aircraft). Visibility
from any seat is excellent, however, as there are no obstructions to block your
views. If you want a chopper excursion all to yourself, most companies offer
charter flights.
