Helicopter Ride in Michigan

A helicopter ride in Michigan can take several forms in Detroit, with classic sightseeing tours, private sunset outings, or doors-off helicopter experiences. This last option allows you to fly with a direct opening to the outside, notably over the areas of Grosse Ile, Riverview, Wyandotte, and the Detroit River.


Tours that reach Downtown Detroit notably allow you to see the Renaissance Center, Ford Field, Comerica Park, MotorCity Casino, and Michigan Central Station, while routes departing from the southern part of the metropolitan area also show part of Wayne County and the areas located along the Canadian border.


Private Helicopter Tours to Discover Detroit from the Air

The helicopter tours offered in Detroit here are organized as private tours, allowing you to enjoy the experience only with the other passengers on the reservation and the pilot. Some tours are also offered at the end of the day so you can fly over Detroit at sunset, when Downtown and the buildings in the city center begin to light up.


The variety of options therefore allows you to choose between a helicopter ride focused on the urban panorama, a tour over the communities south of Detroit, or a sunset experience, while remaining on a tour centered on the Detroit region.
