I'm thinking of suprising my wife for her birthday with a tour around the Island. The cheapest I found was around 850. I'm looking to do it the middle of Jan. Has anyone done this that could give some info I would greatly appreaciate it.
Thank you Justin

Do a search for rotorhead who post on this message board. He has a cute little green helicopter and I believe he does tours.

I am on St Croix and do not do tours.

On St Thomas you want Air Center Helicopters.

Rotorhead, Do you have any idea what they charge? They have a 17 min tour and a 25 min. I'm assuming their cheaper then I believe thieir name is 007 tours at 850. I know I need to contact them but thought I'd get as much info as possible here first. Thanks for any info. Justin

I have never heard of 007 Tours. I talked to a friend who is a pilot for Air Center Helicopters, he says that 007 Tours are a tour reseller. They are selling you an Air Center tour.

My friend says that Air Center charges $750 for a half an hour tour for the whole helicopter. The helicopter is a Bell Long Ranger which carries 6 passengers. If you are willing to go with other people then they charge $150 per seat for the half hour tour.
