A Bali helicopter tour can be ten minutes of beaches or an hour and a half over the whole island. The short flights trace the southern cliffs, with the giant GWK statue and Uluwatu Temple on its sea cliff. The long ones cross the water to the cliffs of Nusa Penida or head inland to the volcanoes, Mount Batur and Mount Agung, and the green steps of the Jatiluwih Rice Terraces.
All six flights on the Bali hub start at Nusa Dua Heliport, with drinks in the lounge, forward-facing seats with panoramic windows and live commentary from the pilot. Each can be booked as a shared seat or as a private helicopter for up to 4 guests. Routes are fixed, but the weather can change them.
