Please remember luggage stipulation due to heli requirements.
Miavana operates one Robinson Turbine R66 helicopter, which takes a maximum of 3 passengers and flies with one pilot, and one Airbus H130 helicopter, which seats up to 6 passengers and one pilot. Infants aged 1 to 23 months can be seated on parents’ laps. Children aged 2 years and over must occupy their own seat under adult supervision. Helicopter seats operate with a maximum weight allowance, please ensure that you share each passenger’s weight prior to arrival, so that our pilots may calculate the totals accurately. Should a passenger exceed the maximum weight allowance, a second seat may be charged. Unless specifically booked, all helicopter transfers may be shared. The specific helicopters used for each routing are determined by our operations team.
