    Thank you to Kim Lory for helping me arrange our helicopter ride. she even let me pay in installments as it is one of the more expensive excursions but it was worth every penny!
    my children and I had the best time, the views were breath taking! we even took our Grandma's ashes so that she finally got her wish to fly in a helicopter, a very emotional and beautiful experience ❤️

    Interesting evening surfing our galaxy Make syre you have your phone on half ann hour before your pick up time as they will call you if they are running late.We were in a small group of 6 (there was a bus as well). Very informative guides. Meal was basic but had Cava/soft drink further on at sunset and a small hot chocolate, ironically whilst exploring our Galaxy.With this trip photographs are taken by your guides: of you; the group; sunset and stars. These are available through a link later and included in the cost.It is a late finish don't plan anything for early next day, like us!
