Heli-ops at Rocky Mtn Metro Airport were excellent, professional, great pre-flight briefing, fantastic flight (hands-on!) and very well maintained facility. Great experience that really gives you a feel for what learning to fly a helicopter will be all about....now to save the money to actually follow-up!
Response from Virgin Experience Gifts
Hi there, Tim! That is so wonderful to hear! I always love how accommodating our flight partners are and how they're able to really personalize the experience to whatever you're looking to get out of it. I'm sure you did an awesome job up in the air - hope hovering wasn't too bad, that's always real tough! We'd love to get you out again soon. Cheers, Jake.

Learn to Fly a Helicopter
Denver Thrill Seeker
Nov 08, 2021
By: MIKE S
The Folks at the "Learn to fly a Helicopter" were over the top friendly and helpful. Really a great group of people.
I do have time in a fixed wing aircraft as a private pilot, so I do have an idea of what is involved when it comes to flying. The only issue I had was the actual flight time. Most of the pre-flight inspection had already been done before the orientation. It still took about 20 minutes to finish the pre-flight and add oil, and warm up the aircraft. That is understandable. I would rather be thorough and never in a hurry when it comes to checking your aircraft on a pre-flight, but Actual flight time was only 32 minutes. Then another 10 minutes after landing for cool down.
I really expected to be in the air for an hour. That simply was not the case. The instructor had the aircraft about half the time we were in the air. I realize you cant learn to fly a helicopter in a half hour or an hour, and I'm not a helicopter pilot... yet, but you cant learn to fly at all, by going hands off.
Over all it was a good experience, but a little pricey for amount of time spent in the air.
Response from Virgin Experience Gifts
Hi Mike,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts on this experience, as your honest feedback is so appreciated! Wow, I think it's so admirable that you're expanding your pilot skillset to include flying a helicopter. I respect your ambition! It's really great to hear that the staff you encountered were so friendly and helpful as that truly makes an already exciting experience that much better. I completely understand your disappointment in feeling as if your flight time could have been longer; however, I truly hope your time in the sky was memorable nonetheless. I wish you the best of luck on your journey to becoming a helicopter pilot and hope we see you out on another adventure!
Warmly,
Courtney

I had a great time. The views were amazing. The pilot was fantastic. It was kinda like parasailing you just float around taking in all the views. The difference is you start at 9300 ft. It’s not scary and I felt safe at all times. I definitely recommend you give it a try.

Hello, Chuck!
That is so awesome that you had such a wonderful experience gliding over Boulder! We absolutely love that you were able to sit back, relax, and take in the bird's eye view of the Flatirons! Thank you for the recommendation and we would love to see you again someday!

My Indoor Skydiving experience was incredible! I was beyond impressed with how they maintained social distance between all of us and created a really safe experience. We got all new and clean gear before our jump and then once we were inside the tunnel, we could take our mask off as our guide had a helmet protecting his face. It was so thrilling and it went by so fast that I wish I had more time!

As someone with somewhat of a fear of heights, I thought this would be a very difficult and scary thing for me to do, however, it was quite the opposite for me. The pilot was super informative and went through all of the information I would want and let me know what the whole flight would consist of before we ever left the ground. After that everything was just amazing and not one bit scary. The location is beautiful and amazing and the experience is unbeatable. I highly recommend getting in the glider and finding out for yourself, I am sure I will be going back up again in the future.
Response from Virgin Experience Gifts
Hello, John!
I am simply speechless! Conquering fears can be incredibly intimidating, so we are overjoyed to hear that you not only challenged yourself, but had an amazing time doing so! We are very glad that the pilot made sure you felt comfortable, informed, and safe, and will be sure to pass along the kind words. Soaring up in the clouds over such a picturesque landscape can be so peaceful and give you a totally new perspective of the area! We hope that your glider ride memories will serve as a reminder of your courage in overcoming your fears!
We cannot wait to get you out for another adventure soon! What will you check off of your bucket list next?

Response from Virgin Experience Gifts
Hi Ryleigh, thanks so much for your honest feedback. We completely understand it can be ridiculously frustrating waiting to go on such an awesome experience as skydiving indoors! However, it certainly is worth the wait and we're so glad you had a blast flying!!!

Response from Virgin Experience Gifts
Hi Steve, I apologize it took me so long to get back to you I wanted to reach out to our flight school and speak with them about your flight. I'm not sure if you're local or not but if you are our flight school said you can come back in for another flight or if you are not local we can offer half the value of your experience back as Cloud 9 Living credit to apply towards another experience of your choice! I do apologize for the inconvenience as mother nature can, unfortunately, be very unpredictable but we definitely want to make it up to you so let us know if you'd like the CLoud 9 Living credit and if you would like to take advantage of the second flight feel free to give our flight school a call when you're next available. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us and we hope to hear from you soon! Best, Kelsey

The experience was incredible, and the instructor was wonderful. Helicopters have always fascinated me. There's just something about them which seems so much more incredible than airplanes. I can't explain it. Taking off vertically, slowly, just feels amazing, almost as if it shouldn't even be possible. What a rush it was to not only be able to experience that, but to be somewhat in control of it! And then, once we were in the air, to be able to take full control was unbelievable and fascinating. I cannot believe how delicate helicopter controls are. No amount of explaining it would've been enough; I needed to feel it for myself. Once back on the ground, my instructor continued to be fantastic, offering to take my picture with my wife (who hadn't flown) next to the helicopter, giving a tour of the hanger, chatting about other helicopters, the industry, and more. Really just such a wonderful afternoon. And special thanks to Cloud9 for existing. The idea of giving experiences as gifts is a great one. I'm glad my wife found you.
Response from Virgin Experience Gifts
Hi Jeff thanks so much for the amazing review and we are so glad your wife found us too!!! Being in a helicopter truly is an inexplicable experience so I can only imagine how you felt getting to LEARN how to fly one! You are so right though, taking off vertically shouldn't be possible but we're so happy it is and we're even happier to know that you were able to feel the rush of flying a helicopter. We would LOVE to get you and your wife out on more incredible experiences so just let us know when you're ready for the next adventure!!! Cheers, Kelsey

Mile High Gliding was an amazing experience. I opted for the mountain ride so that I could get a view of my house west of Boulder. The pilot was very friendly and jovial.

From the time I walked into Mile High Gliding's office, I felt welcomed and attended to. My pilot, Ty, was charming and funny, and was sensitive to letting me guide my own experience as I was ready. From take-off to landing, the sensations were extraordinary.I did some roller coastering, felt Gs and weightlessness, and, of course, saw the beautiful sites above, around and below. We live in a glorious state and gliding is a marvelous way to see it.

We had such a blast! We were there early enough to observe the group before us so we had an idea of what to expect. However, doing it was very different from watching it. People in the wind tunnel looked really calm and composed - even on the high flights. The wind tunnel is loud, powerful and exhilarating. While it wasn't physically demanding in terms of exertion, my heart rate was definitely up when my time was done. My 12 year old and his buddy loved it. It was a great gift for a kid that didn't have a specific birthday wish.
Response from Virgin Experience Gifts

I loved reading your review and I am so happy the birthday gift was a huge HIT with your son. This is on my bucket list as I truly beleive this is as close as i will come to actually sky diving.

I would definitely do it again and recommend this experience to others.

The gliding was brilliant. Eliot was a great pilot and very good once in the air. He could perhaps be a little friendlier and attentive when you first check in. The experience was marred very slightly by the fact I was supposed to do it on a Saturday at 9am. I was told to call at 8am to check it was going ahead. I did this and nobody answered so I left a message but nobody called me back. I called later that morning to reschedule for Sunday.

I have had many "Experiences" with Cloud 9 and have never been disappointed. You obviously do your "homework" in selecting the outfitters/providers because they are always FIRST CLASS.
I could get lucky and find them without Cloud 9 but when I book with you, I know that your selections are based on research, not luck!
AVA is a first rate outfitter with very experienced river guides and good equipment. When you are doing Class V's, it is good to have someone in the raft that knows what they are doing because if you go out of the raft, it is a long, rocky way down stream to get back in.

Good time and friendly guides to hook you up. The only thing is you better be in decent shape because there is a hike up to the first line from the parking lot at 10,000+ feet of elevation. Air is a little thin up there if you are from the low lands!
This is definitely a half-day thing coupled with a half-day run on the Numbers.

The people were friendly, knowledgeable, and just down to earth. They showed us how it was all going to work and reassured us the lines would not break. They also had a great sense of humor, we had some amazing guides, Charlie and Manda who were so friendly, nice, and showed us an awesome time. Its all I have talked about since getting back to all my co workers, friends and family. This is an adventure we plan on going again. Next time we might add rafting who knows. Please make sure to give recognition to all the zip line guides and workers. Truly amazing people.
