      Wonderful tour!
      Awesome tour by air over Duluth and Jay Cooke Park! We saw the St. Louis River route and heard about the history of hydroelectric power in the area. The North Shore is amazing.

      Highly Recommend
      My 10 yr old son and I took the 10-mile tour over the city and harbor for Father's Day. It was his first ever helicopter ride and they were very accommodating and let him sit up front. The pilot was very informative and pointed out all sorts of sights and even knew the names of some of the big ships in the port. A great way to get a whole new perspective on the area. Highly recommend Lake Superior Helicopters

      Anniversary helicopter ride
      Kaitlyn had a very enthusiastic upbeat aura about her, which was extremely pleasant. Andy was extremely knowledgeable and personable. And the view, of course, speaks for itself

      Definitely a Must Do!
      Peter was amazing. Very informative about the area. We took the 30 Mile North Shore tour and it was so neat. For someone that was scared to go at first, my wife was smiling and taking pictures. He made sure we were doing good and gave us some recommendations for supper, etc. Would definitely do again and do the longer tour.

      Smooth and funny
      Riding instructor was able to keep conversation and understood that one of the two passengers he had we nervous about flying. Take off and landing were both very smooth and seamless. The staff were excellent with us the whole way. I strongly recommend them especially if this is a first time helicopter experience!!

      Flying over the Port
      Pilot was great, we flew with doors off (highly recommended) nice way to see Duluth area. Could be a little longer flight.

      Celebrate Life
      This trip was to celebrate both my 70th birthday and my husband's improved health. We loved everything about it! The ground crew was helpful and informative. We learned about pilot John's experience so felt we were in good hands. The views were spectacular. Pilot John was also kind enough to fly over our farmstead so we could capture some nice aerial shots. Awesome trip!!! Next time would like to take the 60 mile tour. Thanks for the memories!!!

      Great experience!
      The view was expectacular, very pleasant conversation with the crew and pilot, we bought the "Aerial Tour" 30 minutes but it's way to short, we spent at least 10 minutes waiting for clearance to depart, the pilot explained that the Tour is by the mile not by time, so be aware of this before booking.

      Worth it to see Lake Superior from the sky
      I’ve done two helicopter rides with Lake Superior Helicopters—one in July and one in October 2021. I really loved the experience and loved the views of Lake Superior from the air. The pilots both times were friendly, knowledgeable and flew with skill. I appreciated hearing the history of the Lake and various landmarks.

      Birthday present
      I bought this for a birthday present for my dad to go with my mom. They loved it! They sent pictures to me after and it was so beautiful! They talked very highly of the entire experience. Thank you to the whole team at Lake Superior Helicopters for giving my parents an amazing tour

      First Helicopter Ride
      The quick ride with Lake Superior Helicopter was a hoot- wish we had found the deal for the longer one first, because I definitely wanted to stay up longer. Chris, our pilot, was very friendly, and knew his stuff. Havent seen the pictures they took for us yet, but very pleased with the professionalism of the company.

    Once I actually got to the place, I learned that the advertised prices on the Internet were apparently not through the helicopter company. So, the 2-person price became the per person price. I decided to do it anyway since we were already there. It was a great time! Afterward, I was barraged with emails asking for more money for tips, asking for me to review them, soliciting more services... While I really enjoyed the flight, it was only 10-minutes, so at close to $30 per minute, I won't be doing this very often. But I do recommend trying it once.

    Our flight operator gave us a nice smooth ride. It was a perfect day. I booked it on line and actually it's a wrong date, supposed to be a week more, but the operator was very nice that he gave us a consideration. I've been trying to have this experience with my husband but weather condition do not permit us all the time, last time I booked it when we were in Atlanta, when we were 10mins away operator called and cancelled it. This time it's an awesome day to have it done, we were so thankful nobody died, it was a great experience! Hubby was skeptical to ride at first but had a great time after all. Duluth is beautiful! Thanks for the experience! We will do it again next time!

    This was our first time on a helicopter. Was a bit anxious. The staff made the experience for us so enjoyable. Offered various upgrade options to make our time more exciting. Would definitely recommend this to any body wanting a totaling different view on Duluth, MN. Thanks for a great ending to our day.

    I would highly recommend taking a helicopter tour with Lake Superior Helicopter. All the employees we had contact with were friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Shout out to Justine, who was the first person we encountered. Our pilot, Rhett, was awesome! He explained everything to us as we went along, made us feel safe, and answered all of our questions. It was very evident how much he loves his job which made our flight that much more exciting. The view was amazing! Can't wait to fly again!

    The pilot was very informative and he pointed out places of interest along the way. I only choose the 15 minute aerial helicopter tour, because I have never experienced a helicopter ride before and next time I plan on taking the longer one. The whole staff was very informative and friendly. I booked online and didn't have to do anything, but get weighed and sign a waiver. It was a very smooth flight and I was nervous to go, but it was better than I thought. I got to get a lot of excellent pictures with my phone.

    We enjoyed our helicopter tour more than we imagined! Our pilot was friendly and informative. We were about a week later for peak fall colors, but that really didn’t matter. The ride was smooth and quiet with the headphones. We took the 12 minute tour because I was unsure that I’d like it, but would have loved a longer tour! Highly recommend.

    From the minute we walked in the door until we walked back out to get in the car was one of the best experiences I have had. We were 45 minutes early so we got the opportunity to buy the cutest shirts! Now on to the good stuff! We loved the pilot and the tour. Lake Superior looks so different from the air. This was my first helicopter ride but it won't be the last. Thanks guys!

    I brought my daughter for her birthday, she loved it! We both enjoyed it! Our pilot was amazing. Very friendly and knew a lot about Duluth. Very knowledgeable. I have been there twice now. I will definitely be back. It was a great experience. I have always been scared of heights, but this was absolutely amazing! The view was beautiful! I can’t wait to go again! And again lol

    Great experience! I purchased the Groupon and got a really great rate. The process is extremely simple and they were extremely accommodating as well as friendly. The pilot was very friendly and fun. The view is beautiful! It is definitely an experience to try if possible! I would definitely go again.
