How to fly in a helicopter
How I did it: Both times I've done this I was on vacation. In Australia I saw a brochure and thought it would be fun. It was a half-hour flight that let you see Ayer's Rock and the Olgas from the air. Very memorable!
In Maui I arranged it at the hotel and then drove out to the airport. That flight was longer (an hour I think) and we flew to the West Maui Mountains and out over the island of Molokai. The pilot was great and took extra time to show us closer views of things that caught our eyes.
Lessons & tips: If you get motion sickness be sure to take some dramamine or use a scopolamine patch. Helicopters tend to be much more susceptible to wind buffeting.
