Experience Toronto from the sky on a helicopter tour over the city! As you soar through the air, look down on the skyscrapers, CN Tower, the waterfront, Fort York and other city sights. This 7-minute ride follows a route of nearly 9 miles (15 km) and includes one souvenir photo. Five departure times are available.
Your tour starts at Toronto's downtown city airport, where you'll check in and board your 3-passenger helicopter. Meet your pilot and take off into the sky, rising approximately 2,000 feet (600 meters) above the ground.
As you fly above Canada's largest city, look down on landmarks like the CN Tower and the beautiful Lake Ontario waterfront. See the Canadian National Exhibition grounds, Don River Valley, Fort York, City Hall, the Royal Ontario Museum, Air Canada Centre, Rogers Centre (the former SkyDome), Ripley's Aquarium, St Lawrence Market and the historic Distillery District. It's astonishing what you can see when you aren't competing with congested streets and traffic lights!
After seven minutes of smooth, safe flying over the city, touch back down at the airport.
A must do! ! I booked this as a surprise for my husband for our anniversary and it was amazing, couple of downsides was I thought it would only be the 2 of us it was never suggested we would be sharing the flight with someone else but a random stranger was on our flight then I was told I couldn't sit beside my husband in the back and I was put in the front so we didn't get to sit together also the headsets didn't work so there was no communication between anyone, it was great to see Toronto from above though and we got our picture taken beside the helicopter and collected it at the end, there is also a complimentary shuttle to billy bishop airport from the royal York hotel which was really handy

Brilliant, from start to finish! I would highly recommend everyone considers this tour for a different view of Toronto. Nice little touch - we also received a souvenir photo.

This was a great tour and the 7min one was enough to give you a great experience as well as the best view of the city. According to them they are the only one allowed to go near the CN tower aside from military aircraft.

Ground crew couldn't have been more helpful and nice.but the pilot never spoke a word to us except to say that he would not be speaking to us. Now either your website is misleading it says picture is included or the helicopter company scammed us because we had to pay for the picture. I wouldn't recommended the helicopter company to anyone. I have been on helicopter rides before that we 100 better. Unfortunately this was my gift to my Mother for her 70th birthday and it was her first ride on a helicopter. Very unsatisfied.

We were not provided with any information on how to find the actual helicopter office. we ran around the island for almost an hour expecting it to be as simple to find as described, almost missed our booking and had to get someone from the airport to ring them and find out where they were located. The actual flight was exciting cause it was a first experience for the both of us but it definitely was not a long flight for the price paid. we also never received the 'promised' photos as per the description. would not go with this company again.

Whole experience was great. The staff were great and eager to make sure customers were taken care of. Pilot was very professional and friendly. The only drawback was trying to find the office to check in. Not clearly marked.

It was very exciting even though it was a very short ride. Finding the location is little bit difficult since not many signs are there to go to the location. I kept asking people how to go there.

staff was not that courteous, they did not explained the package properly, we had called emailed a day before for tour confirmation, but neither call was received, neither email was replied, neither there was call back, so we had to go personally to their office to schedule the time of our flight which costed us xtra money as well as precious time, they did not even took our photo properly, if u want i can scan n mail u, they did not even told that phot was included in package, in their office there was sign that photo will cost 15 CAD + tax, but after the tour while we were leaving they told it is included in your package and u can keep it

What a fantastic way to start our holiday in Toronto. The helicopter flight exceeded or expectations and rendered my daughter speechless. The flight itself was a first for us all in a helicopter and thanks to the skills of our pilot was as smooth as silk. The views of the Toronto city skyline were simply breathtaking and gave us the opportunity to get some fantastic photos that we simply couldn't have got any other way. I would wholeheartedly recommend this incredible flight experience to anybody visiting Toronto.

You have to see Toronto like this!
Review by: Nicola M, August 2008
Wow! What an experience! This gave us a fantastic view of city and surrounding area. We were lucky enough to get a small plane. The pilot was fantastic. He even gave my fiancée the controls for a while, which he loved! I would highly recommend this. We did it on our first day in Toronto, and it was a fantastic introduction to a fabulous city.

I would have liked more time, but for what it cost it was worth it. It was very easy to get to, and was a fun experience overall.
Review by: , July 2007
It was too short! It also gets a bit expensive for a family of 4 for the amount of time you spend in the air. The view was fabulous, and the experience was wonderful. Something we will always remember!
