Before you fly
Safety is operational, not ornamental.
Preparation begins before arrival. Your booking confirmation and crew briefing provide the final instructions for your flight.
Experienced pilots

Over-water equipment
Emergency flotation equipment is installed and life vests are available to every guest on over-water flights.
Passenger details
Accurate names, ages, weights, baggage details and any relevant health conditions are requested when booking for the manifest and weight-and-balance planning.
Mandatory briefing
Every guest must attend the pre-flight briefing, wear required restraints and follow crew instructions.
Clothing
Wear normal tropical-weather clothing and secure loose articles. Hats and other loose items must not be worn around the helicopter.
Food and equipment
Only plastic bottled water is permitted; food is not. Declare drones and special equipment before travel.
Operational authority
Weather, air traffic and safe operating limits may change timing, routing, seating or the ability to depart. The pilot has final authority.
