I was given a flight experence, flying over the City of Edinburgh and the bridges as a retirement present. There were a couple of cancelled dates due to non-flying conditions but I was informed in plenty of time and alternatative dates were easily arranged. This also gave me the opportunity to upgrade to a front seat (highly recommended, by the way). On the date I arrived in plenty of time, made to feel very welcome, then checked in and introduced to the pilot and ground crew. The flight was superb with excellent visibility, and before heading off over Edinburgh, we were able to witness a commercial aircraft coming in to land from above. The views over Edinburgh and the Firth of Forth were breath taking and with ample opportunity to take photos of the city below. The pilot gave us a commentary on what to look out for with a few anecdotes which were not at all intrusive and I was able to enjoy the flight. All too soon we turned around and landed back at our starting point where photos of each participant alongside and seated in the helecopter were available to purchase - I did and have a wonderful momento of a great trip out. Would I do it again - I most definately would.

We went a couple of weeks ago and do clay pigeon shooting. We both thoroughly enjoyed it and had a bundle of laughs with the instructor too! He was friendly and bubbly which made the experience all the better. We loved it so much we are thinking of making it a regular treat and would definitely recommend!

What an absolutely incredible experience!

We had a breathtaking helicopter flight over Sussex and glimpses of the London skyline, and it couldn’t have been more perfect.

Our pilot, Jules, was so friendly and knowledgeable, pointing out all the sights along the way and making the whole journey even more special.

The weather was amazing, the views were unforgettable, and sharing this magical adventure with my daughter is something I’ll treasure forever.

A bucket list item ticked off – thank you to Dom and the ground team for such a memorable day!

Great experience - thoroughly enjoyed the flying and the instructor was great too!

Fantastic experience pilot very informative
Upgraded husband to 30 mins and also on. Upgraded to sit in front seat next to pilot
Staff helpful and friendly
Would highly recommend

We had the most incredible experience, we definitely know for next time to extend the time because it felt absolutely surreal. The staff were lovely and the pilot was amazing. I was slightly nervous but he made us feel very comfortable and relaxed. Would recommend highly! Thank you for an unforgettable time.

I booked a joint flying lesson for my son's birthday and it was out of this world. Far beyond any expectations I had. Aaron the instructor was great, really friendly and a good instructional style. I enjoyed my time actually flying the plane but the best thing of all was my son's beaming face as he flew the aircraft over both land and sea making one of his dreams come true and taking his first step towards becoming a pilot in the future. Great views of the Blackpool shoreline along with all of the key landmarks. I would give this experience way more than 10/10 if that were at all possible. Thanks to Adventure001.

STAY CLEAR !! Booked a flight for 2 in November 2023,Upgraded to front seat costing another £35 on top ! First date cancelled by Adventure001 claiming operational issues. Booked again for Easter Sunday , they cancelled the night before. My son had took time of work unpaid to fit the flight in ! Put a review on social media to receive a phone call off one of the managers saying my information was incorrect and that he was going to answer my review. I was also told TO READ THE SMALL PRINT. I asked for a refund and he said that there had to be 3 cancellations before they would refund. He told me that he would personally get me some new dates ASAP ! I heard nothing for months ! After countless emails, chats I eventually got through on chat and again a promise that someone would get back to me. This week I got a message from a stranger who said she had seen my review and the same had happened to her. She advised me to get in touch with Virgin which I did. Once I told them my story I was offered a credit note and Adventur001 refunded me the upgrade fee ! It’s nearly 2 years since I paid £198 & my so lost wages ! Yes there are many good reviews but my advice READ ALL REVIEWS AND THE SMALL PRINT

I had a Fantastic time. Well organised by the friendly staff. I would totally recommend the flight over Salisbury Plain (Stonehenge) and the city itself, for a first Helicopter ride. Totally enjoyed the whole experience.

We had a fantastic time at the Birds of prey experience, Reily hosting was so informative and knowledgeable about the birds he had bought with him. Never thought we would be so close with such majestic birds. Would highly recommend this experience

Riley was very knowledgable and enthusiastic. The birds were well taken care of, and the experience and handling was great!

Everyone there from start to finish made us feel safe. Kept us informed about the flight even the pilot was great.
Was an amazing 4 minute flight
Another tick off of my bucket list
Something everyone should do.
HELICOPTER RIDE!!!!!!

The ride was great. All staff were kind and friendly, during check in to the safety briefing. The captain was also very friendly and knowledgeable. The ride itself was very smooth including take off and landing. We also got some lovely photos with the proceeds going to air ambulance charities. All round great day and a great team, keep it up guys!!

What a lovely way to spend a Sunny September morning, meeting six birds of prey with the extremely knowledgeable Reilly. He really knows his birds!
Having great weather really made this experience even better. We really enjoyed holding the birds and learning so much about them. Thank you Reilly and the Birds of course!

My son and I got this gift of a helicopter ride for a Christmas present. We both thoroughly enjoyed it and we are looking forward to booking again for a longer flight. I would highly recommend this experience.

We were booked to travel on the 31st of Aug 2025 at 10:45 train. On a very short notice Keith, Robert and rest of the team organised a surprise birthday party for my wife with balloon's and banners. We very much enjoyed their friendly and welcoming hospitality. Thank you Keith, Robert and rest of the team for making this a memorable day. Keep up the good work specially knowing that this whole operation is run by volunteers.

Thank again for a brill experience

Our 13-year-old had an amazing time at his flying lesson with Adventure Experience 001 at Wolverhampton Halfpenny Green Airport! The whole process on the day was smooth, from arrival to take-off, and everything was really well organised.

A huge thank you to his instructor, Nick, who was absolutely fantastic — patient, knowledgeable, and brilliant at making the experience both fun and educational. Our son thoroughly enjoyed every moment, and he hasn’t stopped talking about it since!

This was such a memorable day and a unique opportunity. We would definitely recommend Adventure Experience 001 to anyone looking for something special.

I was give a falconry experience at World of Wings for Father’s Day. It was a fantastic day and really informative. It was very obvious the staffs love for the birds and that they loved the job they were doing. I would highly recommend a visit.
