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.

This was a great experience. Brad was an amazing pilot. Don't cheap out spend the money to do more than a quick up and down it's well worth it!! We did the pilots choice and next time will do the longer one. If you are reading these reviews it mean you're thinking about it. JUST DO IT!!

We went on the ridge runner flight. Justin told us everything to make us feel ready and our pilot, Raspus, was so charming and informative. We had such an exciting time and the views were breathtaking. Fun and a real memory to treasure.

Our pilot was Raz H and he was awesome. He really took his time to explain interesting facts to us and made our flight a memorable experience. We were 5 minutes late and Marci was still very nice and professional to us. Justin also did a great job of taking our pictures. I would definitely recommend spending a little more money and getting the Ridge Runner flight. There is a reason it is a little more expensive and it is worth it.
