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.

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.
