Helicopter Flight over San Francisco

Are you looking for a unique experience? Watch San Francisco getting smaller and smaller as you rise up to the sky in you helicopter. Choose between the Vista or the Vista Grande Tour (20 or 30 minutes) and see sights like the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz and Angel Island from an angle you will never forget!

San Francisco Helicopters is one of the best helicopter charter companies in the Bay Area. Choose one of two tours and experience San Francisco like you've never seen it before!

Vista tour
The Vista tour starts with some great views from the ground while you are on your way to the heliport. There, you will meet your pilot who will play the appropriate, spectacular music for your flight!

You will fly over the highlights of San Francisco like the famous hills, the mighty skyscrapers and the communities in the Bay Area in the distance. Take a picture of the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island and more and then fly back to the heliport where your shuttle bus is waiting.

Vista Grande Tour
With the Vista Grande Tour you get everything above plus another ten minutes in the sky! Your pilot will fly you north over the Marin Headlands and Muir Woods and then show you some of California's rugged Pacific coast. When you return to the city, you'll see the ships in the bay: commuter ferries, sightseeing cruises and cargo ships, all on one of the busiest waterways in the United States.

The total duration of this experience (from pick up to return at the hotel) is approx. 2 hours.
