Weight & Age Limitations
Please be advised of weight limitations to 270 lbs per seat. Due to high density altitude operations, the pilot in command is responsible in terms of safety, therefore he has the final word when it comes to accepting the passengers, considering the length of the tour, the individual weights and atmospheric conditions.  It is therefore of paramount importance that we are informed about the individual weights in advance.

No passenger under the age of 2 is allowed to take the helicopter tour. Children must be accompanied during the flight by a parent, guardian, or a person responsible for them.

Handicapped and Disabled Passengers
There is not a specific limitation for handicapped and disabled passengers, but we must be informed in advance about the nature of the handicap.
