HELICOPTER

The Experience

Our helicopter ride experience can be done from Virginia Airport which offers a magnificent helicopter ride over The Valley of 1000 Hills or you may choose a coastal helicopter ride and travel along the Durban coast line. The helicopter ride will be tailored to your personal requirements. Depending on your requirements we will use either a Jetranger helicopter which takes 4 passengers or a a Robinson 44 helicopter which takes 3 passengers. For larger groups of up to 6 passengers we can offer the Longranger Helicopter. Your flying time will depend on the location.

Sky Adventures specialise in organising your helicopter ride package to suit you. Here are some sample helicopter ride packages departing from Virginia Airport, Durban.
