"Set Aside an hour of your Vacation for Seeing Hilton Head Island From a one-and-only way."

Reviewed April 10, 2025 NEW

My wife& I went for a spectacular scenic ride to view the Hilton Head Island and if ya have the time, it’s a must for pure enjoyment. Blake( our pilot) was calming courteous and comfortable to fly with. David the other pilot made us fully aware of what was going to happen, as well as information after we landed. It’s a great way to view your surroundings ( or vacation resort)and would be terrific for fly-over to see the golf tournament.Highly recommend the helicopter tour and were able to see a lot in just over 10 minutes.

"Fun in the sky"

Reviewed March 27, 2025 NEW

We had a great time! The crew was so professional and nice! Our morning flight was cancelled due to the weather and we were so disappointed but once the weather cleared they had us up in the sky! Blake our pilot was a lot of fun showing us the Birds Eye view of the island! We can’t wait to go again! I 100% recommend this tour!

"Great memories"

Reviewed March 19, 2025 NEW

The kids loved it. The crew was great and let us swap out a scared kid for an excited kid after boarding. The ocean view choice is the cheapest but it is a 3 minute ride. Very short for $39 per person. They do offer discounts on site for upgrades.
