About the experience

When you're on the Isle of Wight, make sure not to miss the exciting opportunity to take a helicopter ride. Whether you're a local or a visitor, there's nothing quite like the thrill of seeing the island from the air. The helicopter tours depart from the picturesque Sandown Airport, offering a unique perspective of the Isle of Wight, you'll be perfectly situated for a breathtaking helicopter tour of the island. The airport itself is a popular tourist attraction, with a variety of events, abundant flying opportunities, and a delightful on-site Bistro. Once airborne, you'll enjoy a continuous array of stunning sights. Despite its relatively small size (13 miles from Cowes to St Catherines and 23 miles from east to west), the 30-minute helicopter tours cover much ground. The extended Isle of Wight tour lasts for 30 minutes. It covers approximately 55 miles, offering views of everything from the towns of Sandown and Shanklin to the ports, harbours, waterfalls, gardens, and vineyards. Highlights of the longer tour include the Cow and the Calf lighthouses at St Catherine's Point and the magnificent Osborne House. This opulent Italianate villa was the beloved summer home of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. As Queen Victoria herself once said, it's 'impossible to imagine a prettier spot'.

I had an Amazing experience. The whole team from the support crew to the pilot were brilliant, professional and calm. I had been a bit nervous but it was a wonderful way to see the Island.
Mark Aubert
We had a brilliant day, a birthday presant for my wife, the ground crew and pilot were very polite and helpful, a very memorable day and would highly reccomend.
Sandy Rowsell
I booked a helicopter experience for my husband for his 80th birthday. We were lucky, it was a beautiful, sunny day. A gusty wind added to the excitement, as we were taken west over the Isle of Wight and around The Needles and Lighthouses . My husband sat up front with the captain and loved every minute. All involved were very patient with him, helping him both on and off the helicopter and I couldnt be more grateful for that. It made it a wonderful day at for both of us. Thank you.
