What To Expect

Scenic Helicopter Tours

The Ridge Runner is a definite crowd pleaser! Our Ridge Runner tour is a very exciting flight over the Chilhowee Mountain Range and Bluff Mountain. The flight starts with a birds eye view of downtown Sevierville and the Tennessee Valley. As the flight progresses you will be traveling over the foothills of the Smoky Mountains and the outskirts of Pigeon Forge and Waldens Creek. With excellent views of the Smoky Mountain National Park you round the back side of Bluff Mountain over 6,000 acres of undeveloped land. While flying low over the tree tops you cross over the top of Bluff mountain where views go from 100 feet to 80 miles in the blink of an eye, it truly is a sight to see! As you head back in you will follow the sheer glacier carved rock cliff side of Bluff Mountain and Sugarloaf Mountain before heading over the beautiful rolling foothills back to the Scenic Heliport! This flight is 30 miles and averages 15 minutes.

This experience was a great success! Booked the private flight for my son and his girlfriend as he used this as a proposal. I was able to chat with Lori and she set everything up and made this a magical experience for them. Tommy their pilot was a wonderful guide. Jay the photographer did an amazing job capturing the proposal after they landed. Very impressed with the ease and comfort of booking this for them. A very memorable experience for them and would highly suggest this as one of the must things to do while visiting the area.

We were so disappointed as our flight got canceled due to bad weather. This I understand is not under their control. However we weren’t given accountable answers for the refunds and were told that we have canceled in our system and TripAdvisor should return you the money and that they aren’t accountable

We do apologize for the inconvenience. However, you did book your tour through a third party. Once you have contacted the third party to request your refund we will approve it. Since your payment was through them the refund will be issued the same way
