The best of San Francisco with that amazing feeling of gliding through the air
by Steven Skelley & Thomas Routzong
Igor Sikorsky said, “The helicopter approaches closer than any other vehicle to fulfillment of mankind's ancient dreams of the flying horse and the magic carpet.” We agree! The feeling of floating effortlessly into the sky and gliding through the air is something everyone should experience. San Francisco Helicopter Tours offers an excellent opportunity to see the best of San Francisco with that amazing feeling of gliding through the air.
San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge rises majestically nearly 800 feet above San Francisco Bay. Its International Orange color provides a beautiful contrast to the surrounding water and shoreline making for a photographer's dream come true.
Now - imagine floating above that world famous 800 foot high structure and then suddenly dropping down like a rollercoaster ride at 150 mph, zooming under the bridge and emerging on the other side to gently float once again to the very top. That is just one of the amazing experiences San Francisco Helicopter Tours treats you to!
San Francisco Helicopter Tours has been serving the San Francisco Bay Area for over 30 years. We found their pilots to be both knowledgeable and courteous.
If you are wondering about safety, their website states "Our helicopters, tour coaches and facilities meetthe highest standards in the commercial tour industry. All of our Bell Jet Helicopter are maintained by Bell Factory Approved Mechanics and are flown by Bell Trained, FAA licensed pilots." Several of their pilots are ex-military pilots.
San Francisco Helicopter Tours operates seven days a week, except for certain holidays. They will even send a shuttle bus to pick you up at designated hotels!
San Francisco Helicopter Tours offers the following tours:
VISTA TOUR
VISTA GRANDE
LUNCH IN SAUSALITO
DINNER ON THE BAY
