Bird’s Eye: Helicopter Tours, Miami
Florida is one of the world’s most popular tourist destinations, thanks to its extensive coastline (over a thousand miles), impeccable beaches, great shopping, and glorious weather – it’s not called the sunshine state for nothing! But there’s another side to this beautiful location when you see it from the air.
When you take a helicopter tour, Key West and Miami are laid out below you as a stunning expanse of water, beaches and urban development. From hundreds of feet up, you’ll see some of the area’s most famous landmarks from a completely new angle; you’ll fly over people who are deep sea fishing off the coast; you can hover and experience the amazing feeling of being out over the water, with the beaches spread out in front like a welcome mat for the city behind.
Choices For Everyone
Whether you’re a visitor or a resident, Miami air flights are a great way to see the area – zoom over Coconut Grove and Fairchild Gardens, look inside the Miami Dolphins’ home stadium, check out the race track and casino, fly over the gorgeous Biscay Bay, see the malls and seafront businesses, visit some of the impressive and prestigious real estate locations… there are dozens of different tours that can show you the many sides of this beautiful city!
Or maybe you’d rather get away from the tourist hub and visit other areas – Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, and the islands are popular choices for a bird’s-eye visit.
If you’re looking for something more romantic, why not opt for sunset helicopter tours? Miami will live forever in your memory when you share it with that special someone. You can watch the sun go down behind towering skyscrapers, or seem to sink slowly into the ocean in a glorious array of reds and oranges, as the city comes alive with lights in preparation for the night’s festivities.
Helicopter rides in Miami are even available at night – you can fly above the heads of thousands of people out to enjoy a night on the town with friends, headed for the casino, or driving in style to exclusive parties. The roads are like rivers of light, and the beaches are impossibly romantic, the surf lapping gently against the sand under a limpid moon…
A Unique Perspective
You don’t have to be a tourist to enjoy helicopter rides in Miami (and other parts of Florida). Although you may have checked out the satellite view of your Miami home on Google Earth, it’s very different when you see it from the sky first hand – and a lot closer!
Unlike an airplane, helicopters don’t have to do a fast fly-by: you can go relatively slow, you have much better all-round vision, and you can even stop and gaze at some of the biggest and best landmarks, hovering in place while you appreciate the sights.
Miami helicopter tours are not as expensive as you might think. You’ll usually need to be a party of at least two, so they’re a great way to treat someone special to a real once-in-a-lifetime ride and a whole pile of wonderful memories. Just remember to bring your camera – the aerial photos will be awesome!
