Reviews of the helicopter to Con Dao

What do passengers say after experiencing a Con Dao helicopter flight? Take a look at the most honest shares below to be able to prepare yourself for the perfect trip!

• Vlogger Yeumaybay:

“The helicopter ride to Con Dao is very smooth, without vibrations. Everyone should note that there are no flight attendants on the helicopter, so there will be no service at all, but with 1 hour in the helicopter, I think there is nothing that needs to be served. The seat on the helicopter is quite small, so it won't feel very comfortable when sitting."

• Passenger Dung Le:

“My first experience with the helicopter was quite good, the flight was very smooth, and each person was wearing a noise-canceling headset. The important thing is that it takes about 1 hour to arrive and the fare is quite cheap compared to other routes to Con Dao.”

• Passenger Duc Minh Tran:

“I prefer to take a helicopter to Con Dao than take a speedboat because I can save travel time and enjoy the beautiful scenery from above. Moreover, the helicopter ticket is not very expensive, the seats are a bit small but still comfortable. This is quite an interesting trip for me.”
