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.

My daughter has wanted to do a helicopter tour for as long as I can remember and they did a great job. Everyone was friendly and kind from the person checking you in, to the boarding attendant Michael, to the pilot Wade. They made her much anticipated flight exactly what she was hoping for!

It was my husband and my first time riding in a helicopter. It was amazing and we want to do it again! Our pilot was entertaining and made sure to tell us what we were seeing below. It was definitely worth the tour and everybody was very friendly. We chose the Blissful Romance Package. The staff had set up a table for my husband and I to look at all our goodies we got in the package. They were so kind and took more photos of us while we were enjoying the romance package we chose.
