About the experience
Embark on an unforgettable tour for two of the Isle of Wight, kicking off from the island's very own Sandown Airport! Take to the skies in style, with a helicopter as your ride, you have the opportunity to see the amazing scenery of the Isle of Wight dripping in luxury. Once you're up in the air, it's sightseeing galore! Despite its small size (just 13 miles from Cowes to St. Catherine's and 23 miles from east to west), you'll get a comprehensive tour even in just 15 minutes. Choose your direction—whether it's Ryde, Cowes, or the scenic St. Catherine's Lighthouse (famous from the BBC's Shipping Forecast). Spot some gorgeous sights, beaches and villages of the island, and of course the majestic Cow and Calf lighthouse at St. Catherine's Point are just some of the highlights you'll catch from up high. And you definitely can't miss Osborne House! This grand Italianate villa was the beloved summer retreat of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, and it sure is grand. Don't miss this wonderful opportunity to see the Isle of Wight from a whole new, breathtaking perspective!
