Helicopter tour over Toronto

Helicopter tour over Toronto – Sightseeing flight departing from Billy Bishop

This helicopter tour in Toronto takes off from Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport at Hangar 1, on the islands across from Downtown, a few minutes from the waterfront and downtown. Two routes are offered with a 15 km flight (about 7 minutes in the air) and a 35 km flight (about 12 minutes in the air) depending on what you want to fly over and for a total activity duration around 14 to 15 minutes depending on the package and the day’s conditions. Each flight boards 3 passengers, with a guaranteed window seat and audio headsets with a microphone to communicate during the overflight.

Downtown overflight: CN Tower, Rogers Centre, and waterfront

The route is designed to fly over the city’s most interesting points, with a trajectory designed to share the view between passengers. The helicopter flies around 2,000 feet, ideal for a global and detailed view, and which makes it possible to fly at the height of structures. The overflight passes over downtown and the waterfront, with landmarks like Rogers Centre and Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada. The advertised average speed is about 100 mph, which makes it possible to cover a lot of ground in little time and in clear weather, it is sometimes possible to see the mist of Niagara Falls in the distance, without it being guaranteed. The flight ends with a return to the base at Billy Bishop Airport. All passengers are weighed at check-in to comply with safety limits.
