What Can I Expect

Book your seat for a helicopter ride in Ireland and discover the beautiful Emerald Isle from the air! What better way to see the lush green lands of Eire than a sightseeing tour by chartered helicopter? We've got take off destinations in various Irish counties to explore the very best bits Ireland has to offer.

As the third-largest island in Europe, Ireland is home to nearly seven million and boasts a beautiful coastline, sleepy villages, vibrant cities and great culture too. From the Atlantic coast on the west, to the waters of the Irish Sea that separates the island from Great Britain, there's so much to discover. And what could be more thrilling than touring Ireland than by helicopter?

Your experienced pilot will take you up and away over the Irish country and coast on an aerial expedition that'll take your breath away. We have a full programme of flights available, from five minute rides to look down on the local area, to tours that cover 75kms, with landmarks and natural wonders abound.

Your voucher is valid for all the helipads and airfield listed, so you can choose when booking your date with the operator where you want to take off from. There's no need to decide right now when you buy the voucher, which is what makes it super flexible for you.

We think a helicopter ride over Ireland is quite simply the best way to see the best bits of Irish life. From championship golf courses and secret coastal coves, to pretty villages in the glens and seaside fishing towns, Ireland really does have it all. Time to take a look at it from 1500ft up in the air!
