Located at the Aeropuerto Isle Grande, it is a quick ride from Old San Juan.
They operate several helicopters for tourism and VIP transport. Also marketed under the name Tropic Thunder Tours.
The 3 of us selected the Fly Puerto Rico tour. This is an 78 minute tour. You immediately fly over Old San Juan with amazing close up views of the castles and Goverment buildings. From there you head inland to the central mountains. Excellent views of steep cliffs, water falls, and country living for the locals.
Next you head to the Arecibo Telescope. Excellent view of the now collapsed structure.
From there, you head to the ocean. The final leg of the tour is a flight up the coast. Amazing views of the beach's and numerous coves and rugged shoreline. Also spot various marine life: turtles, manatee, rays, etc.
We felt very safe during the tour. Our pilot, Ernie, was an army pilot in Iraq, Afghanistan, and South Korea. He also spent time as a pilot for oil rigs and medivac . There is nothing he hasn't experienced. He is also super nice.
Highly recommend the tour. read more
