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 boyfriend and I decided to do the helicopter tour (mountain valley) so much fun! Kinda scared at first but once we got into the helicopter felt safe! If you go for sure ask for Rasmus felt very safe with him wasn’t bumpy or anything very smooth. Every couple minutes turned around to see if everyone was okay which is very appreciated and was very friendly along with other staff! 10/10 would recommend! Thank you scenic helicopter tours

On a whim, my husband and I decided to take a helicopter ride. Nick, our boarding attendant was very nice and thorough with our safety review. Kevin our pilot was awesome. He knew that I was terrified and took it easy with me. We will definitely be back to do this again.
