Key West Discovery Helicopter Tour
Our Discovery Ride is perfect for first-time riders, or budget-minded individuals looking for the thrill of a helicopter ride over Key West. This 7-mile tour includes views of Smather’s Beach, The Southernmost Point, and Fort Zachary Taylor. No other tour in Key West can give you views like this! (approx. 5 minutes)

Key West Island Helicopter Tour
As soon as you lift off, you are soaring with the birds over Key West's historical landmarks. This 20-mile tour circles the island of Key West, with views of Smather’s Beach, The Southernmost Point, Fort Zachary Taylor, Sunset Key, Wisteria Island, Mallory Square, and world-famous Duval Street! Perfect for people on a budget or families with small children - not too short, not too long! (approx. 10 minutes)

Key West Eco Helicopter Tour
Our most popular tour! This trip was designed particularly for those marine life enthusiasts who want a bird’s eye view of the numerous sea life swimming below. There is an abundance of marine life, along with sunken boats and man made reefs, which serve as home for a variety of species of fish available for your viewing pleasure. This tour circles Key West, seeing everything from the Island Tour THEN you fly out over the world-famous Backcountry with incredible views of the Snipe and Mud Keys. Stingrays, sea turtles, sharks are common viewing on this tour, so be sure to bring your camera! (approx. 20 minutes)

Key West Ultimate Island Helicopter Tour
The name says it all! A more extensive version of the Key West Eco Tour, this exciting ride allows you to experience, both, the historical city landmarks, and Key West’s famous marine life in the beautiful shallow waters of the Backcountry. Every Ultimate Island Experience is unique, and the route is customized to each and every group, spending extra time hovering over whatever you may find on the way, whether it be a sunken shipwreck or a pod of playful dolphins. If you want the complete experience of seeing all of Key West, mixed with the excitement of having your own private helicopter and pilot, this is definitely the tour for you! (approx. 30 minutes)

Key West Seven Mile Bridge Tour Helicopter Tour
The full tour of the Lower Florida Keys!! As your tour departs Key West, you will fly over the Navy Air Station, where Navy fighter pilots actively train year-round in air-to-air combat missions. Continuing up the Keys, Bahia Honda State Park contains the last standing rail-road trestle bridge from the early 1900's Overseas Railroad built by Henry Flagler - a very picturesque sight! The Seven Mile Bridge is the half-way point of the tour, with double-bridges spanning over seven miles - the longest bridge of its time. Finally, your tour takes you over the Backcountry, where you will see everything from the Ultimate Island Experience, including uninhabited mangrove islands, marine-life like sharks and stingrays, and all of Key West's popular landmarks before landing back on the helipad. (approx. 60 minutes)

Key West Sunset Helicopter Tour
On our most romantic trip, the first half of your helicopter flight will include spotting various marine life like sharks, stingrays, and dolphins in their natural habitat, followed by Key West’s world famous sunset. While hundreds of visitors gather every evening around Mallory Square to view the event, this is the only tour that will allow you to fly high above the crowd with an unobstructed 360-degree view as you watch the magnificent sky change color. Enjoy a complimentary champagne toast as the sun disappears behind the horizon, followed by a relaxing twilight ride over the water as you return to land. This breathtaking experience only happens once a day, so we recommend reserving your tour as early as possible! (approx. 30 minutes)
