About the experience

Buy a voucher and take to the skies on the 30 Minute Rutland Tour — a spectacular helicopter flight from Leicester Airport. Your adventure takes place in a Robinson R44 helicopter, expertly piloted for a smooth yet exhilarating experience. With space for three passengers — one in the front and two in the rear — everyone enjoys superb panoramic views throughout the flight. Departing from Leicester Airport at Stoughton, just a few miles from the city centre, you will lift off from this elevated former RAF site and enjoy impressive views from the moment you are airborne. This 30-minute scenic tour heads towards the beautiful county of Rutland, the smallest in the UK. From above, you will truly appreciate the vast expanse of Rutland Water, whose sweeping shoreline and open water dominate the landscape. The patchwork countryside, charming villages and rolling scenery make this one of the most picturesque helicopter routes in the region. Operating year-round, the Rutland Tour offers breathtaking views in every season — a peaceful yet unforgettable way to experience the East Midlands from the air.

Matthew Bradbury
Fantastic ride Everyone from ground crew to pilot really friendly. Had an amazing ride.
Michael Long
Pilot and ground crew were excellent . Unfortunately the booking process was not so good Date time 13.00 please arrive at 12.30 were booked by telephone . I requested a confirmation Email it did not arrive .A week later I telephoned again time of flight was still 13.00 was promised a confirmation Email would be sent checked they had correct Email address still did not receive it. Arrived at Airport at 12.30 as instructed only to be told the flight was now 13.35 or later . Everyone I spoke to said the lack of confirmation was an admin problem not theirs . The eventual experience was not spoilt by the delay but I do feel the Helicentre Aviation admin team are letting the side down
