About the experience

Product ID: 13623

Embark on an unforgettable tour of the Isle of Wight, kicking off from the island's very own Sandown Airport! With a helicopter as your ride, you're in for a treat, and even the airport itself is worth a visit, boasting events, plenty of flying action, and a charming bistro to boot. 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), you're in for a visual feast. Picture-perfect beaches, quaint villages, and the majestic Cow and Calf lighthouse at St. Catherine's Point are just some of the highlights you'll catch from up high. And of course, you can't miss Osborne House! This grand Italianate villa was the beloved summer retreat of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, and its opulence is sure to leave you in awe. Don't pass up this amazing opportunity to see the Isle of Wight from a whole new, breathtaking perspective!

I had an Amazing experience. The whole team from the support crew to the pilot were brilliant, professional and calm. I had been a bit nervous but it was a wonderful way to see the Island.

I booked a helicopter experience for my husband for his 80th birthday. We were lucky, it was a beautiful, sunny day. A gusty wind added to the excitement, as we were taken west over the Isle of Wight and around The Needles and Lighthouses . My husband sat up front with the captain and loved every minute. All involved were very patient with him, helping him both on and off the helicopter and I couldnt be more grateful for that. It made it a wonderful day at for both of us. Thank you.
