Get Ready to Fly
Taking off from the Hilton Head Island Airport, each flight can accommodate three people at a time. If your group is larger than three people, the pilot will take multiple trips back-to-back so that everyone in your group can enjoy a ride. With that being the case, we recommend booking your helicopter tour ahead of time online or over the phone. If your group’s decision to ride in a helicopter is more spur of the moment, walk-ins are accepted–you might have to wait for your tour if there are other bookings.
The best news? All ages are able to enjoy a helicopter ride! Infants under 12 months of age are able to ride on the lap of an adult at no cost. The only time that there may be an age minimum is if you choose to add the Adrenaline Package to your flight. This package gives flyers the option to remove some or all of the helicopter’s door, allowing for the adventure of a lifetime! Children ages 10 and up are able to take part in this incredible experience.
Are you celebrating an anniversary with your significant other? Elevate your flight with the Romance Package! This add-on includes complimentary champagne and a box of either milk or dark chocolates. The two of you will always be able to remember the flight with a photo taken by the expert photography team on staff. Plus, this package will guarantee that the helicopter tour will be private.
