I'm looking to do the caribbean helicopters flight over to Montserrat from Antigua when in the Caribbean in November. my wife who is nervous with Heli flying needs convincing it's safe, anyone have any comments, good or bad?

Did it from Jolly Harbour in about 2003; great fun. The Canadian pilots really know their stuff and give you a running commentary about the volcano.

Montserrat trip

Do it!

Had a great trip to Montserrat in 2011

In a maroon long ranger I think.

Did it last November and it was amazing! It's well worth the expense as I feel it's a once in a lifetime experience which you won't regret.

Once you get in it is SO thrilling that any nerves just disappear. The pilots are great, the pre flight checks are very thorough and they are very reassuring too.
