See if you can check the safety record of each Co.
As a long time resident of Kauai. Where air tours are a very big thing there.

We have had an unusual number of serious crashes there.
I won't go into details about the one that came down about 75 yard from where I was working in the yard. Just four days after another crashed near the airport.

But these birds work a lot during busy season, you want to be on one that is well maintained.
You might request a senior pilot.
