The Experience

You board at the airfield and lift off into a view of Miami that ground-level sightseeing can't match. The route runs from Miami Beach south toward Pembroke Pines, passing over the beaches that line the coast—Hollywood Beach, Hallandale Beach and Golden Beach—then swings back over the downtown waterfront. A live guide narrates the flight in English or Spanish, pointing out the landmarks as they come into view.

The helicopter passes over South Beach and Fisher Island, where the private estates sit clustered on the water, then moves inland to Hard Rock Stadium. From there the flight covers Oleta River State Park, North Bay Village and the Port of Miami before heading back. The whole route takes 40 minutes, which is long enough to see the scale of the city from above without the day becoming a production.

Flights run with a minimum of 2 passengers and a maximum of 3 per helicopter, so you're never in a crowd. The airfield is accessible by public transportation, and if you're traveling with an infant, specialized seats are available. All areas of the operation are wheelchair accessible.
