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.

Ridge Runner was an excellent tour!! Our pilot Jordan and boarding attendant Jay were just as good and we super nice and helpful. They clearly loved working here and were a ton of fun!! Even with some nerves they assured us there was nothing to worry about and allowed us to take plenty of pictures while still moving quickly. Such an amazing experience!!

This helicopter tour was PHENOMENAL! Was it a lot of money? Yes.. but WORTH EVERY PENNY. The staff was very friendly and goofy with us. We worked with Nick and Jay and the made the experience even better! We will be back!

Great experience as soon as we walked through the front door. The man at the counter was very friendly and took time to talk with us about other potential tours that we could take in the future. Our boarding attendant Jay was patient, friendly, and helpful. Our pilot Rusty pointed out different points of interest, was friendly and very knowledgeable. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND SCENIC HELICOPTER TOURS and will be back next year!!
