"3-Minute Intro Ride at Hilton Head Helicopter Tours"
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5

Our 3-minute introductory helicopter ride with Hilton Head Island Helicopter Tours was absolutely fantastic! My 6-year-old nephew and I were both first-timers, and this short but thrilling experience was the perfect way to dip our toes into the world of helicopter flights. From start to finish, the staff made us feel welcome and at ease, patiently answering all our questions and ensuring we felt safe and excited. The ride itself was breathtaking! Even in just three minutes, we were treated to stunning aerial views of Hilton Head Island that left us in awe. The pilot was incredibly skilled and gave us a smooth, enjoyable flight while pointing out key landmarks below. My nephew couldn’t stop smiling—it was such a memorable moment for both of us. If you’re looking for a quick, exhilarating adventure or want to introduce someone to the magic of flying, this is the perfect choice. We’re already planning to come back for a longer ride next time! Highly recommend!

The staff at Fly HHI are very friendly and helpful. There are plenty of affordable flights to choose from and they also offer the occasional discount. Our pilot was great and we had some great pictures to go along with the unforgettable memory of the coastline flight. The helicopters are very safe and well maintained and I am excited to fly with this company again in the near future! Very pleased overall.
