On April 23, 2012, I had the opportunity to take a helicopter tour over the Soufrière Hills Volcano on Montserrat. I had booked online with Caribbean Helicopters in Antigua prior to leaving the U.S.; their reps La Shan Lewis and Natasha Richardson were extremely helpful in getting the trip arranged for me. The cost of the tour was US$240.00 with... More

These people are amazing! After arriving at Fort James for our flight, it was cancelled at the last moment because of a storm that blew over the volcano. We were rescheduled to go 2 days later but needed to change another tour we had booked for that day. By the time we got to our resort and called our Air... More

We chose the Montserrat Volcano Tour, as you don't get to see volcanoes from helicopters very often. The beginning and the end of the tour obviously go over the nearby parts of Antigua, and so you get a small slice of the Island Tour anyway. There is also a fair amount of time just going over the sea between the... More

Cariibbean helicopters trip to Montserrat is a trip of a lifetime. Pilot Tony shared great information about Montserrat and the history of the island and the volcanos. He took his time flying around the island so everyone on the ride could get an unobstructed view. We almost were not able to go up because of the ash clouds but Indi... More

The helicopter trip to Monserrat was an experience. On one hand, it was fascinating to see the volcano; on the other hand, it was very emotional to see the devastation which resulted from it. Pilot Pete was very knowledgable about the volcano and the island. Well worth the money spent for the tour and would highly recommend. More

We took the full island tour which is about 1/2 hour in length and cost 165US....They are throughly professional and from our experience it was clear that both safety and fun are equally important...the helicopters are in top notch shape. Our pilot shared his knowledge of the island and pointed all the sites..from Eric Claptons compound and Armani's homes to... More

We did the Montserat tour and which was my wife's first time in a helicopter, but no problems. After taking off we flew over St Johns and the cruise ships before detouring to the hills for the pilot to check out some grass fires. We then headed out over Jolly Harbour with fascinating views of the reef with all its... More

This was an absolutley fantastic helicopter ride. To see the devestation and destruction that has been caused by a volcano is unbelievable. You see these things on the tv all the time and it seems extreme and unreal, but it really is amazing the size of all the boulders, the houses with the roofs missing and complete houses and buildings...
