Normal clothes for tropical weather are fine, as the helicopters will be temperature controlled. Before take-off and immediately after landing, it can become warm in the helicopter depending on the strength of sunshine. Avoid loose clothing around helicopters, such as hats, as they may fly up into the rotors and jeopardize safety of aircraft.
As our pilots fly smooth and make slow and gentle turns, most people do not experience motion sickness. If you are sensitive to motion sickness, then anti-motion sickness medication is recommended at least 30 minutes before your scheduled flight.
You can fly at any time between sunrise and sunset. Some people interested in taking photos may prefer morning or late afternoon flights for special lighting conditions.
