It was a beautiful experience. We had booked a plane trip back and that was cancelled for weather and we had the option of returning on the bus or taking a helicopter. We chose the helicopter and it was perfect!

Worth every penny, the bus ride was long but boat and plane offered amazing views and unforgettable memories.

Fantastic tour! Definitely recommend the coach ride there and flying back. Best of both worlds! Make sure to ask where to pick up the lunch - it was a bit of a mystery for a few minutes.
