I have found it easier to go on a tour helicopter. I know it would be more enjoyable to fly it yourself but the tour pilots know where the good sites are, know the area and air space rules and they will deal with you in most cases to take a more personally planned flight. You just have to pay for it.
They have a 206 for $1200 per hour advertised. Or you could get checked out in the R44. I have a few hours in it and its really not that bad, better than a stick in the eye. Just fly it like its about to come apart and you'll have no problems. Be gentle with her, very gentle.
My dear uncle, former air force jet jockey and retired airline captain with 33 years and xx thousand hours always told me, "treat her like a lady". Its worked well for me so far.
Cheers..
