6 stars out of 5 - An amazing experience!
Jacqueline Fowle
Had a fantastic time on a bright day flying over the Thanet coast. Must thank the instructor Mr Thomas for his patience and skill at explaining how the controls worked. I had a warm welcome at Polar Helicopters and would thoroughly recommend them to everyone. An amazing experience actually to fly a helicopter- wanted to do that since seeing Whirlybirds as a child! (Oh dear, that shows my age!) Thanks for a great afternoon.
Claire Hayler

Kevin
The staff were very pleasant and professional and made us feel very welcome and safe. The flight was amazing. Fantastic experience.
Chris Lea,
I bought a helicopter lesson for my brother in law at Manston Airport, Kent. With the rest of us watching (at least the beginning and the landing) we had a great family day out. My brother in law had a generous time in the air and being in control, and was able to see a good chunk of S E England from an interesting perspective.  The crew at the helicopter company made us all feel at home. We would certainly consider booking this again and would recommend it to others. Best wishes.
Lorna Cooke
This Helicopter centre was an efficient and very friendly outfit. My instructor was excellent, very professional but relaxed at the same time, and keen and effective at imparting her knowledge to make my experience the very best it could be. I would not hesitate to recommend them or indeed to go again myself.
Mary Davis
The staff were very friendly and helpful both whilst booking and on the day of the experience. The pilot made sure my time was spent doing as I wanted, [I didn't want to spend too much time trying to fly] so I had a wonderful time enjoying the flight and seeing a lot of the S.E. coast from above. I'm a 63 year old woman and would recommend this experience to anyone.
