      Not worth flying
      Not worth the money. The chopper fly high and far from the waterfalls. The chopper only circle 2 times overhead. The picture is only a gimmick.

      Impolite staff
      We were a family of six. We had to board together. They lied that the helicopter can accommodate five people, but six people finally boarded and one of our group boarded us separately with another group. The staff is completely disrespectful. It is not recommended in any way.

      Bad offert
      Hello. Today I flew with Helisul. The flight is definitely too short, the remote is zero contact with passengers, I did not have time to take pictures, enjoy the views or record a clean movie. I fly a helicopter often and have a comparison. After the flight, I went to the office to post a complaint and ask about the option to solve the problem because it is not a cheap attraction. You couldn't even take a photo with your phone at the helicopter, because the photographer from the company in all the money made immediately made them with his own equipment. I am disappointed and embarrassed. Complete lack of reaction from the organizer! I bought a photo from the photographer and an album with sample photos from the flight was attached. None of the photos agreed with the example because the helicopter did not go lower and closer to the waterfalls. The whole flight took place at the same, too high, so poor prospect of offer. I asked to sit next pilot and they sosny listened! I had a sit at the back !

      Realy great way yo see Iguacu Falls
      This experience is not cheap but is a really great way to see the whole layout of the Iguacu Falls. Some of the helicopters have 3 seats across the back so you need to judge the others around you to avoid this seat. If there is 2 of you I recommend 1 grabs the seat next to the pilot (front left) and the other sits behind the pilot back right to get different photos and views!

      unforgettable
      Helicopter flight definitely worth at visiting Iguasu waterfalls - exciting and unforgettable. Excursion well organized. Pilot did fly over the target and on the way very intriguingly and professionally. Was booked at the place in low season with awaiting time near 1 hour, so at high season it is better to book in few days advance certainly knowing weather forecast.

      not same as Ad. shows
      it was good experience. but something I expect too much. I‘ve been told flight trip will take 30 minutes, actually it feels like only 10-15 min. I ’ve been told will go very close to falls like Ad. photo shows but there has a secure distance minimum 300 metre away from falls.

      The trip is short but the views are unforgettable
      Not knowing what ti expect, I took the Helisul Helicopter ride. I was amazed of the beautiful views of the Iguazu fall from up above. A must do if you are in Iguazu Park. If you have to choose between the Parque das Aves and the Helisul, take the air taxi anytime.

      No safety briefing before flight and no possibility of seeing anything from the middle seat and you still pay the same as everyone else. Bad value for the money

      Worth every dollar
      This is an excursion that can only be described by superlatives. Of course it is a lot of money, 100 euros for only ten minutes. But these ten minutes are so worth it. Foz do Iguaçu is one of the wonders of nature and you understand why if you see them from above. The pilots of the helicopter know exactly how everybody can get their shots of the falls from all sites. So, although you will definitely which for more when you land on the ground, I would recommend everybody the self indulgence of a scenic flight.

      Wow moment
      This was a trip of a lifetime. Only 10 minutes but seemed much longer. $110 USD each. We were lucky with front seats on the 7 seater helicopter. Stunning views of the river and falls with several wow moments with the pilot making some great banking turns to cheers of the passengers. Very professional multi lingual staff. Highly recommended.

      Riding helicopter was on our bucket list so we really enjoyed it. I was a bit scared but seeing this gorgeous waterfalls in a helicopter is a nice experience.

      Don’t Waste Your Money or Time
      They charge US$120 per person for a 10 minute flight where the whole intention of the flight is to view Iguazu Falls from the air. We were put into a helicopter that sat 4 passengers in the back and 3 in the front. The pilot showed no interest in giving every passenger a reasonable view of the Falls. Those on the window seat at the rear saw very little (including myself) and those who got stuck with the interior seats at the back saw much less. The 3 front seats next to the pilot were given to Spanish speaking passengers who obviously got the most benefit from the ride. We went nowhere near the Devils Throat (the main waterfall) and only viewed the Falls from a distance. I would not recommend this flight to anyone as it is nowhere worth the money paid,

    A chance to fly over Iguazu Falls, impressive. The operation, not impressive. You’re herded like cattle on and off the helicopter. The pilot does not speak. The tour, which was to be 15 minutes, was less than 10. There is only one operation running, so just buy the cheapest deal you can…it’s all the same. Once you are off, they try to sell you on a video of you walking to and getting on the heli and a photo afterwards of you standing there. Nothing of the actual flight. Also, in all the helicopter I’ve taken in the past, we had an opening so you could take pictures without a glare. This was fully enclosed, and again, no speaking. The service of this operation is a complete disappointment!

    The helicopter trip lasts for 12 minutes and, at US$115 per person is expensive. However, it’s a “once in a lifetime” indelible experience. The pilot gave us a panoramic view and a close-up perspective of this awesome natural phenomenon.

    Well worth adding on to your falls experience. The base for this company is just a three minute walk away from the main entrance to the Brazilian side of the falls and the service here i s outstanding. A very smooth booking in and wait of less than a minute before then boarding the helicopter. Having a seat next to the pilot was awesome and some fantastic shots were taken. It is ten minutes but I think it is worth the full price. The pilot knows what he is doing and everything is very safe. You are filmed and photographed upon boarding and disembarking. You are then offered (very non-pushy) a package of either several photos and a USB of the filmed segments for around USD50 or you can opt for just one pic for USD10. It was easy to decide on the full package to put the icing on the cake for this very memorable experience. I originally opted for just the solo pic but the family who had been accompanying on the journey took the full package. Seeing the delight on the young kids' faces and realising that the offer was good I quickly changed my mind, again with no pressure from the staff.
    There is a nice little cafeteria type place for a drink and small bite and there are also ample lockers for bags of all sizes to go in.
    Go and experience it yourself. You'll be glad you read this review!!

    You can book online, which I thought about doing, but didn’t want to commit such a large amount of money if travel plans/weather changed.

    Prices are the same to pay in person on the day - Rs$610 (about £100) pp. You can pay in Real or by credit card, also USD but the rate was quite unfavourable. The ice lollies sold in the attached cafe were unbelievably expensive - we paid ARG$17,000 for four simple lollies (over £10 UK but worth half that).

    Real or credit card seemed the best way to pay for this truly magical trip of a lifetime.

    Worst customer service. Place is like a scam. They pack 7 people into a helicopter and only 3 can see. The right side has an obstructed window. My wife and I flew up came down and were furious. They split us between a family that was waving their arms between us. When we complained they said that only one of us could fly again, which made absolutely no sense. People there are jerks.

    Stop using trip advisor! Zero customer service when you need it. No phone contact, no IM, no ability to reach anyone for immediate help. And to not be allowed to cancel or change a purchased ticket when the vendor is directing you to do so is unacceptable. This is the last time I purchase anything thru trip advisor. Use them for research, but purchase your tickets else where.

    As for heli, they did step up and took care of us. Thank you!

    The flight itself which is only what is being graded..... Least favorite of all the helicopter rides we have taken. I've used the same company in Rio twice and it was amazing. In Foz do Iguaçu I would suggest to save your money. The flight at any price just is not worth it. Others commented the constant flying which is true and you really don't get to appreciate the falls. No way to open the windows in the back to take great photos and if you get lucky to sit in the middle be prepared for those on both sides to take up your views with phones and cameras. You get maybe 2' at the falls off which 1/2 the time your on the opposite side of the chopper.

    If you do still choose to go, sit on the right side back seat is in the front.

    It was my first time in a helicopter so that was fun and we didn’t wait that long because we came on a Monday when the park is closed. (we were walk-ins) people in the reviews say try to get a window seat otherwise the views are useless. This is not true. They ask for your weight before you board and they seat you based on weight so that the helicopter doesn’t tip based on weight distribution.

    The helicopter I was in 5 seats; I got a window and my husband got the back middle, it was fine since he took pictures of me but i can see how a 7 seaters would not be enjoyable. I wish we were at the falls just a bit longer (for example: he does an extra circle over the falls before heading back) once you do it once there is no reason to do it again unless you return during a different season or over five years later to see how the ground has changed.

    I was skeptical because this experience was very expensive per hour, but wow it exceeded my expectations and was fully worth it! The views you got of the falls were incredible and so special. 10 minutes actually felt quite long. I also arrived at a great time when it wasn’t too busy (1 pm on a Sunday) and there was only 3 of us in the helicopter so everyone had a great view!

    Fantastic experience.
    The flight is very professional and convinient
    Only 4 persons for every tour so everybody has a chance to see the falls.
    We have enough time to see the falls and we saw it few time in many angles.
    Im the beginning, I’m a little worried to get a transport from our hotel in Angertina to Brazil but it was easy as many taxis are willing to take the trip.
    We are Happy that we did the helecopter tour on Brazil as we were able to see the falls in Brazilian side.

    The ride itself was nice but overall not worth the inconvenience, especially considering the expense. We had a 1.5 hour wait. With two young kids, and a warning from the business that if we left the waiting room we might lose our spot in line, we sat around in a lightly air conditioned room for the entire time. That you cannot reserve a time or even leave the property but get a text or WhatsApp is insane. I would never repeat this again. We saw the falls by boat and from the viewing platforms, which didn't require waits and honestly were more impressive.
