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 my first time on a helicopter. I Loved it, I took a short ride this time but looking forward in doing it again for a longer ride. I got to sit up front and took lots of photo's and even a video

My daughter and I decided to do something we have never done before. We have been on many commercial flights but never a helicopter. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this team of individuals. Zac our pilot was very personable and was full of interesting facts about the area and makes you laugh too. He made this trip very memorable and a lot of fun. I would highly recommend Zac, Gavin our boarding attendant (major safety person), and Justin our photographer. If your looking for something different to do with the family, look no further - great team, great price, and lots of memories. We are already making plans to do this again...next time we will bring the grandchildren!!

This Ridgerunner was a real treat for our grandkids. 11, 9 and a 4 year old really had a great time. Short ride over the hills really was fun for all of us. Great pilot made flight interesting. We were onboard the larger helicopter and it was a nice machine.Friendly staff. Excitement started for kids as soon as we arrived.
