Scenic tours over the French Riviera

The 25-minute tour flies over the Bay of Cannes, the Lérins Islands and the Estérel. The 45-minute option heads towards Monaco or the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, depending on the confirmed route. The 60-minute grand tour reaches the hinterland, the Verdon Gorge and the Lac de Sainte-Croix.

Choose the option that suits your time and your group. The pilot adapts the route to the day's conditions to give you the best possible visibility.

Tours depart from Cannes. Allow around fifteen minutes before take-off for check-in and the safety briefing, then the flight continues non-stop until your return.

The choice of tour also depends on the season and the time of day: morning light brings out the contours of the Estérel, while the afternoon shows off the colours of the sea. The team will advise you on the best slot for your chosen date and the day's forecast.

On board: a clear view of the sea and the coast

Up to five passengers can board the same flight. Each has their own seat and a clear view of the coastline, the beaches and the marinas.

The short tour is ideal for first-time helicopter passengers. The longer options appeal to those who want to make the most of the view. Passengers enter their weight in the request so that the flight can be prepared in the best conditions.

Seats are allocated according to each passenger's weight, which the form asks for to prepare the cabin layout. Let us know if someone would like a particular seat or is travelling with bulky camera equipment, and we will take it into account at boarding.

The headsets provided on board let you talk to the pilot and listen to the commentary during the flight. The noise is noticeable but bearable, and children aged two and over can fly accompanied by an adult, with a seat suited to their size.

Preparing your flight: weather, timings and chauffeur

A scenic flight depends on the weather and aircraft availability. Give your preferred date and time, plus an alternative if your schedule allows: our team will confirm the slot with your quote.

A chauffeur can drive you to the departure point and wait for you, or take you back to your hotel after the flight. Enter the addresses in the form to bring your whole journey together.

A chauffeur can take you to the heliport and be waiting when you land: enter the addresses in your booking so that the ground journey follows the same schedule as the flight. The teams on both sides are informed of the agreed times.

Plan to arrive a quarter of an hour before your flight time: the reception team checks identities, weighs luggage and gives the safety briefing before boarding. If your scheduled flight or train is delayed, let the team know as soon as possible, as the flight can often be moved to later that day.
