Tips for Taking a Helicopter Tour



For more than a decade, Club Newport has served over 15,000 vacation-goers through its members only travel service. Enrollment features quality accommodation, transportation, and excursion options at exclusive pricing to destinations all over the world. Members can access these deals by utilizing either the convenient online portal or the Club’s highly skilled concierge team.

Once arrived at your destination, there are plenty of options for getting around and taking in the sights. Depending on your style, you may prefer to walk solo at your own pace or opt for a guided tour to ensure you get around to all of the must-see areas. You can take a bus, a Segway, a train, or even book your own private driving tour. For a more unique way to explore your vacation destination, however, consider taking a helicopter.


Club Newport’s concierge professionals offer these few suggestions for getting the most out of the experience.

  • Schedule your helicopter tour at the beginning of your trip. By first exploring your new surroundings by air, you’ll get a better sense of the area’s geography - making it easier to get your bearings once you set off on foot or by car.

  • Choose the right time of day. The experience of a helicopter tour can vary dramatically depending upon the time of day you depart. A night tour over the city lights may make for a romantic evening while a sunrise tour of a national park will provide breathtaking photo opportunities.

  • Dress appropriately. While you may wish to check with the tour operator for clothing recommendations, a good rule of thumb is to wear whatever is appropriate for the season. In the early spring and fall, temperatures may drop as the helicopter ascends so a jacket is always a good idea. In the summer, loose and light-colored clothing will keep the sun and heat at bay. Avoid wearing flip-flops and sandals, accessories that could easily blow away, and consider tying back long hair.
