Good overall, with a couple of niggles. Not for anyone who hates small aircraft, but the flight itself was stable. Book the first slot you can. Light is better and operations feel calmer. Signage at the entrance could be clearer for first-timers. Go early and it plays better.

Lived up to the hype for us. You see the Palm and the marina in a way no tower ticket matches. Short, expensive, and the one thing we still talk about. The aerial view of the coastline is the souvenir. Pricing of extras (photos, food) is extra if you want it. We would book it
