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.

The staff was friendly and our pilot was awesome! Sam was the pilot and Andrew was our boarding attendant, both super friendly. The flight was just long enough to get a spectacular view of the area. Highly recommend!!

It was absolutely amazing. If you plan to visit Pigeon Forge, stop in Severville, and take a flight. The staff, and pilots are awesome. I'd do it every day if I could.. You'll love it..

AMAZING!!! Our boarding attendant, James, was helpful in answering any questions and explaining what we were going to do and see. I had never flown before and our pilot Jon helped to ease my nerves with humor and his knowledge. The views were stunning, a wonderful way to see the Smokies. It was an unforgettable way to spend the fourth of July and our last day on vacation.
