Bird's Eyeview

Sometime last September, a new kind of tour opened in Coron.  Helicopter Tours offered a bird's eyeview of some of Coron's most popular destinations. But it was not until November 20th that I was able to try it.  The regular price of the tour is P5,000/person for a 12-15 minute flight. Three people can fit in the four-seater chopper (the pilot being the fourth person). However, last November, the company offered a two plus one promo so we grabbed this chance to try the ride.  We had to be at the terminal in Capayas at around 8am for our 8:30am flight.  After a briefing by the staff, we boarded and we were off.  Here is Coron town and parts of Coron Bay as seen from the air.

Not really sure of this shot but this is nearing Kalachuchi Beach area already.

And after about twelve short minutes, we were already touching down.  I was hoping for a shot of Darayonan on the way back but I was sitting on the left side of the chopper hence my view was of the bay.  Do I ride again, or get a drone? Hmmm...
