Important information for those booking helicopter tours:
The following situations are possible:
1. The weather is non-flying in all directions (Valley, Kurilskoe). Departures are rescheduled according to the plan, on alternate dates, if the tourist has them.
2. The weather is available for flight on one direction. Flight direction is performed if 2 helicopter excursions are ordered. You have booked a helicopter tour on the day of arrival.
3. The weather is flying in the Kurilsky (or Valley), but the helicopter company puts an early departure and you, taking into account the estimated time of baggage collection -11:00 + 40 minutes to the heliport, do not have time to get to the helipad on time. In this case, you are going to stay in a hotel.
Please note that the Grand tour Agency is not responsible for canceling the helicopter tour due to weather conditions.
