About this experience
Board your turbine-powered helicopter and rise above South Florida’s most iconic waterfronts and architectural landmarks.
Depart from the Downtown Fort Lauderdale Helistop, conveniently located near premier hotels and Las Olas Boulevard, or from the discreet and private Pompano Beach Airpark, and ascend directly into the skyline within moments. From oceanfront estates to Biscayne Bay, experience Miami and Fort Lauderdale from a perspective few ever see.
More than sightseeing, it’s a moment to take it all in — the coastline, the water, the city — from a place of calm above it all. Operated aboard the Airbus H125, the aircraft of choice for VIP transport and cinematic aerial work worldwide.
