Description

Take your Lowcountry vacation to new heights with the Beach Cruiser helicopter tour of Hilton Head. This 12-mile scenic flight is the perfect "middle ground" adventure, offering an extended look at the island's stunning Atlantic coastline. Departing from the Hilton Head Island Airport, you will head east to glide directly over the most popular beaches on the island, providing a perspective that ground-level sightseeing simply cannot match.

Enjoy sweeping views of Folly Field Beach and the winding waterways of Broad Creek. Afterwards, flight path continues over the expansive Port Royal Sound and the vibrant Shelter Cove area. With the aircraft's oversized windows and stable flight, you will have ample opportunity to capture professional-grade photos of the contrast between the lush maritime forests and the sparking blue of the Atlantic Ocean.

Keep a sharp lookout for the "locals" below! From an altitude of several hundred feet, it is common to spot pods of Atlantic bottlenose dolphins playing in the surf, as well as sea turtles and large manta rays gliding through the clear coastal waters. Your expert pilot serves as your personal guide, providing live narration through your headset to ensure you don't miss a single landmark or wildlife sighting. Whether you are celebrating a special occasion or looking for a high-energy family highlight, the Beach Cruiser is the quintessential Hilton Head air adventure.

"Wonderful experience"

Reviewed November 23, 2025

Beautiful ride with Blake this morning. We did the “Ultimate Adventure” tour which goes around HHI and over to Daufuskie Island. We were able to see dolphins 🐬 in the ocean in addition to beautiful views. Blake was a great pilot and knew history about the island. Definitely want to do it again!

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Hilton Head Helicopter Tour!"

Reviewed November 18, 2025

Our helicopter tour over Hilton Head Island was fantastic. Pilot David was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience feel safe and fun. The views were stunning, and we even spotted dolphins just off the coast and in the waterways—such a breathtaking moment from the air. Highly recommend this tour! 🚁🐬

"Fun turns and dolphin sightings!"

Reviewed November 03, 2025

We had a fantastic experience with Hilton Head Helicopter tours! We booked about an hour in advance and they fit us right in. David at the desk handled our check in and safety briefing, then got us into the helicopter about fifteen minutes after we arrived. Blake was our pilot and he gave a great tour. He took us along the beach to Coligny, gave us a view of the regatta and then even made a few circles over a pod of dolphins that was surfacing. On the return trip we took a few “fun turns” and got to land alongside a small plane that was coming in for a landing on the runway right next to ours! Super cool experience and would definitely take another tour in the future.

"Anniversary memories"

Reviewed October 07, 2025

We wanted to do something fun on our anniversary and this was worth every penny. We did the HH eco trip and flew for 30+ minutes. My wife and I had a great pilot. His name was Blake and he did a great job. If you’ve never been in a helicopter or you have, then this is a trip worth taking while at Hilton Head. We had a great time and great experience. The whole team at this business were very kind.
