What Can I Expect

Discover the dramatic Devon Jurassic Coast on a helicopter tour! We have vouchers for 20 and 30-minute Jurassic sightseeing flights, with departures from the Honiton area in executive helicopter.

Stretching from Orcombe in East Devon, to Old Harry Rocks in East Dorset, the Jurassic coast covers 95 miles, so seeing the south Devon part of it by helicopter is much easier than walking the route!

If you opt for the 20 minute Jurassic Coast trip, you'll head straight out towards the coast, following the winding River Otter, until it meets the sea at Budleigh Salterton. Designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Budleigh boasts red cliffs and marshlands that are a haven for birds and wildlife.

The helicopter will continue to follow the Jurassic coastline towards Exmouth, so you can gaze down on the amazing cliff formations and the stunning shoreline, before turning in-land at Exmouth. You will then track the meandering Otter River to the delightful Ottery St Mary, before heading back to base.

Those on the 30 minute tour will see all those Jurassic coast wonders, as well as some of the most well-known parts of South Devon too. After take off, your flight path will take you to Lyme Regis, famous for its Cobb - the curved harbour as seen in the film ‘French Lieutenant's Woman’.

You will then turn and soar along the line of the beaches, starting with Monmouth fossil beach and passing over Seaton and Sidmouth where those red cliffs of the Jurassic coastline start. From this point, your flight path follows the 20 minute version of the tour.

Flying as low as 1000ft on these Jurassic Coast helicopter tours means you’ll get a really good look at the amazing Devon coast and all those most picturesque beaches, coves and cliffs. One little piece of advice - don't forget your camera to capture those wonderful aerial vistas!
