![]() The customer service and management staff are super friendly and helpful. We wanted to see everything from different and more exciting points of view. We’ve been to Crazy Horse, Mount Rushmore, and the Needles Highway several times in the past and were looking for something fresh.Īfter doing a little research, we decided on a visit to Black Hills Aerial Adventures because they had the best fly-over rights. We are full time RV’ers and regularly visit the Sturgis/Rapid City area. The day we went it was pretty smokey from the fires out west but it was still amazing views. When we landed they came out and took a picture of us with our phone, which was really nice. He pointed out a number of things and answered any questions we had. We were going to do the Mount Rushmore tour but they offered a small discount on the Black Elk Peak tour so we decided to do that - we were easy to convince because we weren't really sure which ride we wanted to do! Mike was our pilot and he was really nice, easy to talk to. It was < 15 minute walk but much of it was up a steep hill from the train depot.) We had no wait at all when we went (a Monday in August) and the staff was all very nice, welcoming and helpful. So we hiked up the hill to take a helicopter ride! (They told us they have a shuttle so you could call them if walking up that big hill is a problem for you! There would be plenty of parking up there if you're driving. We rode the 1880 train from Hill City to Keystone and knew we didn't want to come right back as the girls (6 and 9) would probably be ready to do something. First time for all of us so nothing to compare it to but nice experience overall. ![]() Thanks to whiever else said that in a review. Wore a black shirt so I didnt pick up my clothing in the reflection when trying to take pictures. ![]() My photos are too large to upload but I got some neat ones. The website said they weren't open for the session yet but I called and found out their Custer location was open early so we went there. It was a comfortable ride (I was concerned about it being hot and claustrophobic) but it was neither. Early on he pointed out the peak and I think that was it regarding black elk peak but we definitely enjoyed it nonetheless. ![]() The others in my group said he pointed several things out and did a nice job commentating. My headset seemed fine but once we took off I could hardly hear anything and my mic stopped working so I wouldn't header anything. its was about 12minutes in duration and took you through the hills, around crazy horse and over a lake or two. I decided to go in the middle so we did the Black Elk peak tour for $155. There was no pressure at all on which tour to do amd the staggering was friendly. We planned to do the 5-6min discovery tour because it was $49 but figured that'd just be a tease. ![]()
