A Miami helicopter tour shows you how much of the city sits on the water: South Beach, Fisher Island, Key Biscayne, the Venetian Islands and Star Island in Biscayne Bay, the Port of Miami and the Downtown and Brickell skyline. Flights run from 20 to 50 minutes, and on every one the helicopter is yours.
All four flights on the Miami hub are private for a group of two or three, with a window seat each and noise-cancelling headsets. They are priced per person with a minimum of two, and all four leave from CR Aviation at Miami Executive Airport (Kendall-Tamiami).
Four private Miami helicopter tours, from 20 to 50 minutes
- Miami Skyline and South Miami 20-Minute Helicopter Tour, from US$199 per person (US$398 for two). The southern shore of Biscayne Bay: Coconut Grove, the Coral Gables coast, Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, Matheson Hammock and Tahiti Beach, with Brickell Key and the Downtown skyline in the distance. It does not reach South Beach.
- Miami South Beach, Downtown and Islands 30-Minute Helicopter Tour, from US$299 per person (US$598 for two). The main tour on the hub: the Downtown and Brickell skyline, South Beach and Miami Beach, Fisher Island, Key Biscayne, the Venetian Islands, Palm Island, the Port of Miami, Coral Gables, Coconut Grove and Vizcaya.
- Miami South Beach Sunset 30-Minute Helicopter Tour, from US$349 per person (US$698 for two). The bay loop in the early evening: Key Biscayne and Fisher Island, South Pointe Park and South Beach, Palm Island and the Venetian Islands and Star Island, Brickell Key and the Port of Miami. Evening light depends on the day and the weather.
- Miami Ultimate 50-Minute Helicopter Tour, from US$499 per person (US$998 for two). Adds the coast north of Miami Beach, with Surfside, Haulover and Sunny Isles and Bal Harbour, to the bay loop: Downtown and Brickell, South Beach, Fisher Island, Key Biscayne, the Venetian Islands and Star Island, Coconut Grove, Coral Gables and the Port of Miami.
Choosing between the two half-hour flights? The day tour adds Coconut Grove and Vizcaya; the sunset flight trades those for evening light at US$50 more per person. Take the Ultimate if the northern beaches matter to you.
