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.

We game to the seirville area on our honeymoon and booked the romantic bliss package helicopter tour. Boarding attendant Jay was wonderful and a great photographer. Sam was our pilot, and he did a wonderful job at it. We had a great tour with you guys.

Wow what a view and wonderful experience! My daughter (adventurer) and I (scaredy-cat) decided to make this year a year of experiences! Jordan our pilot was amazing and our boarding attendant Taylor did a great job of keeping me calm. They explained everything step by step and we had a great day. The plus is after you are seated in the helicopter you can take all the pictures you want. We forgot about pictures (to busy looking around) till on our way back. We will probably do this again soon. Tip: If you wear dark clothing it will cut down on reflections in pictures. Also (overheard passenger whining about arrangement of passengers not our party) sit where they say sit cause it ain’t about you it’s about balance!

Oh, my goodness…everything was perfect! My husband booked a romantic getaway, and they made it all happen…the helicopter ride, the photos from the photographer, a basket that they put together with champagne and chocolates, roses, everything. The pilot was super friendly…the photos were phenomenal, just everything. I can’t say enough great things about them…highly, HIGHLY RECOMMEND
