This is an edited video of the Heli Island Tour of Aruba in September of 2010. This was definitely one of the top 5 things we have ever done while visiting. It was about a half hour video that I edited down to fifteen minutes to fit online. Richard was a great and friendly pilot and my wife and I cracked up by the way he said "cool". His fiance is the one at the hut desk as well but I can't remember her name. I really questioned the price but once we were up there it disappeared from my head completely and I never thought of it again. I hope this will be helpful to anyone that is thinking about doing this tour. Enjoy!

I took the same trip and got some great photos, I strongly recomend it as a great way to view Aruba. It is worth the $$$.

Thanks for posting the video. I have to take this helicopter ride when I get back to the island. I spent a couple of hours in the same model here in the USA. And seeing this video makes me want ad a rotorcraft endorsement to my pilot's license.

Bon dia.
