  My Group, my family had a excellent time there everyone was professional and friendly.They treated us like family and friends giving us the royal treatment. I originally thought of this as a once in a lifetime trip but everyone was SO GREAT, we all are going back.

  Had a great time with the Helibacon crew! Enjoyed every second of the ****! The crew was personable, safe, and professional. If you have the opportunity, I high recommend you give this a try! It is already awesome to help local ***************** get rid of pesky swine. It's even more awesome to do it leaning out of a helicopter!

  Great time! Our group had a blast and all would recommend going. The pilot was great and very smooth. The staff was very professional. The facilities and helicopter seems to be very well kept.

  I went for a night **** guided by ***** and ***** on my 30th birthday and had an amazing time! Their gear was top of the line, and their conduct was that of true professionals. My party of 5 all walked away with multiple kills and were very satisfied with the experience! 5/5 stars!

  Earlier this week HeliBacon took a gentleman who lives in a local Assisted Living Facility on a non-hunting helicopter ride. All this gentleman has wanted to do before he dies is to take a helicopter ride. Staff at the Facility had searched for a company to do that but previous rides were not affordable. So, this gentleman got his dream wish because of HeliBacon. The HeliBacon crew went above and beyond to make the experience special. The gentleman--and a lot others--cried Happy Tears! Thank you HeliBacon for your Act of Kindness!

  The experience was built up to be amazing and simply wasnt. Way too much money. They talk a big game and provide very little. Helicopter really cool

  Hello Banks – This hunt was purchased as a donation item for a fundraiser for Bay Area Christian School. We have no idea how much you spent on the live auction but we're glad funds went to a good cause.

  On the day of the hunt, May 20, 2023, we saw around 36 hogs, got clear shots at around 10 and killed about half of those. The passengers on board expensed 29 total magazines of ammunition, so there was plenty of opportunity for shooting.

  For the incident in question, our crew chief recalls it vividly. During the second flight hour, you were seated on the right side in position 3. There was a solitary boar running parallel with a cow, and 15 feet away, and the aircraft was maneuvering around to create spacing with the cow and line up a shot. The right side had NOT been given a “cleared to fire” command by the crew chief, but as soon as the hog was in view, you let rip a full auto burst at the hog, and nearly hit the cow. The crew chief, a former marine, was immediately attending to the situation, as he rightly should have done.

  You've complimented our professionalism, equipment and more, but it sounds like your pride was wounded, due to the negligent discharge incident. When discussing this with you on the phone you agreed that HeliBacon is not a 1 star outfit (it doesn’t get any worse) and felt bad about the situation. The entire flight is on video and since you purchased the video package, the footage has been shipped to you.

  This review doesn't paint an accurate, fair, or complete version of the events. Nevertheless, we wish you success with all of your future hunting endeavors. Sincerely - The HeliBacon Team

  From my first email to the day of the experience, Helibacon was 5 stars all the way.The team was incredibly responsive as we planned our trip sharing the best times of year to attend (we went in March) as well as what to expect once we landed on our dates. The quality and caliber of their equipment as well as their safety protocols clearly set them apart from the many options available.My ***** and I did "The Works" package and it was worth every *****. Our stay at the ************** was top notch and the night **** with ************* was excellent as it rivaled the actual helicopter ****. Access to hunting with thermal gear and top-notch semi-auto rifles with two guides who literally love what they do is a unique experience not available to everyone depending on where you live.The facts: it is windy and can be chilly on the ****, bring layers, we saw hogs but not as many as we would have liked, hence why this is still a "hunting trip" keep that in mind. Both the helicopter crew and the night **** guides did everything they could to maximize the chance at hogs. Come rested up as it is a big day starting at 4:30 a.m. and ending at 1:30 a.m.This is a bucket list item that did not disappoint and with a level of accessibility that is unique for what could easily look "too extreme" for many, simply not the case. The oldest hunter on the **** with our group was 73 yrs old, and he kicked **** when it came to the hogs.Do it, as you will not regret it!
