Verified passenger review

"I've seen the Seven Lakes from the trail many times. I had no idea they looked like this from above. The pilot gave me full control over the angle and speed — at one point we just hung there, completely still, above the water. The colour of the lakes from 2,000 metres is something I genuinely cannot describe. Booked on a Saturday, flew the following Tuesday. Would do it again tomorrow."

The Seven Rila Lakes are one of the most visited natural phenomena in Bulgaria — and one of the most photographed. Most people see them after a 90-minute drive and a moderate hike. This is not that. A gyrocopter takes off from Novi Iskar and carries you over Pernik, Dolna Dikanya, and Galabovtsi before arriving above the lakes at whatever altitude you choose — from a dramatic 2,000 metres to a low, slow pass at 5. The pilot does everything possible to give you the view you want. The lakes from above are a different thing entirely from the lakes on foot.

🚁 What Makes a Gyrocopter Different

A gyrocopter is not a helicopter and not a small plane. The rotor rotates freely without engine power — it autorotates, which means the aircraft descends safely even in the event of engine failure. This is what makes it one of the safest flying machines in its class. What it adds over a helicopter is manoeuvrability: the pilot has full control over altitude, speed, and angle at all times. You can hang completely motionless above the water, or fly fast and low over the mountain ridge. The passenger decides. The pilot executes.

🏔️ The Route

Take-off from Novi Iskar. The route passes over Pernik, Dolna Dikanya, and Galabovtsi before arriving above the Seven Rila Lakes — the highlight of the flight. Each of the seven lakes has a name that describes it: The Tear, The Eye, The Kidney, The Twin, The Trefoil, The Fish Lake, The Lower Lake. From above, the shapes become visible in a way they never are on foot. The return follows a scenic arc back to Novi Iskar. Total flight time is 2.5 to 3 hours depending on wind conditions.
