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.

I was extremely nervous (never flew before) all of the staff assured us we would be fine, and helped calm my nerves. Once we got in the air the pilot was outstanding, very knowledgeable of what we were seeing, and gave plenty of opportunities to ask questions. Would recommend to ANYONE and EVERYONE

There's no better view of the Smoky Mountains than from a helicopter. We are blessed to have both Marie and Rasmus as a part of our team, they are both great individuals and strive to make sure everyone has fun while they visit.

By far the best attraction in the Smoky Mountains. Zac was our Pilot, Our boarding attendant was Garrett and Justin was working the camera Worth every penny spent and then some. thanks for the thrill ride. I am a student pilot and appreciate what it takes to be a top notch crew. Even the young ladies doing the prep and sales presentation were spot on. Great job
