Helicopter flight over San Francisco

Are you looking for a unique experience? See San Francisco get smaller and smaller below you as you climb higher and higher in the 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 as you have never seen it before!

Vista Tour
The Vista tour starts with some great views already from the ground while you are on your way to the heliport. Then you will meet your pilot, who will play suitable, spectacular music during the flight!

You'll fly over the highlights of San Francisco such as the famous hills, massive skyscrapers and the remote communities in the Bay Area. Take a photo of the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island and more, then fly back to the heliport where your shuttle bus is waiting.

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

The total duration of this experience (from pickup to return to the hotel) is approximately 2 hours

Please bring a valid photo ID or passport.
