What people are saying about Hilton Head Island

This was our first helicopter ride. Family owned business. Everyone was friendly, courteous and answered any questions we had. The pilot was also all of the above and has a good sense of humor which was nice. We chose the 6 minute tour this time, we will be back for a longer flight in the not too distant future. If you visit the Hilton Head Island, I recommend you take a helicopter ride with Hilton Head Helicopter Tours at the airport.

My dad and I flew Friday, September 23rd and we had the best time! We’ve previously flown on other helicopter tours, but never one over the ocean . This was a special tour, all thanks to our friendly and knowledgeable pilot who also helped to serve as our tour guide. It was a great way to kick off our long weekend getaway, and definitely helped us to get a lay of the land!

The staff members were fabulous (both front desk and pilot). This was part of my bride's bucket list and she was able sit up front with the pilot. The pilot (Alex) was professional and made my wife very comfortable through the entire flight. I would recommend this for anyone that's wants to have a safe fun time.

We loved it...!!! 100% recommend. Alex and Sara thank you very much for this fantastic experience. This tour was more than amazing to closed our vacations in Hilton Head Island. I hope to see you soon...!!! Pura Vida, Greetings from Costa Rica.

It was very enjoyable for the surprise of my wife and she's wanting to do the upgrade with champagne in the hand
