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.

All the staff were super friendly and helpful. Our pilot, Cole, and boarding assistant, Aaron, were fun to be around!! We enjoyed our experience! The view was beautiful, just wish it was located more in the mountain range.

This was our 1st time in Tennessee coming from Miami, Florida and we were in search of someone to give us a tour of the area. We called Flysceneic's number, the woman on the phone gave us a rundown of the different prices, length of flights, etc. After paying for our package, we then drove to the actual area about 7 miles away, where we would be boarding the helicopter. We quickly checked in with the guy at the counter, then given instructions regarding the flight by our Boarding Attendant Aaron. Once boarded, our pilot Cole took us on a 15-min flight over the area, seeing Bluff Mountain , mansions, huge water parks, etc. Very knowledgeable pilot with great conversation. IF WE ARE EVER BACK IN TENNESSEE, WE WILL RETURM DIRECTLY TO THEM !!! TOP QUALITY AND CUSTOMER SERVICE !!!
