Why Choose a Helicopter Tour?
Helicopter tours offer a distinct advantage over traditional boat tours. While boat tours provide a close-up view of the islands and marine life, a helicopter tour offers a bird’s-eye perspective, revealing the full scope of Flores’ natural beauty. From the air, you can see the intricate patterns of coral reefs, the expansive stretches of pristine beaches, and the rugged terrain of Komodo National Park. This aerial perspective allows for a deeper appreciation of the region’s diverse ecosystems and is ideal for photography enthusiasts seeking unique shots. Additionally, helicopter tours are a faster alternative, allowing you to cover more ground in less time, making them perfect for those with limited time in the area.
Popular Destinations on the Tour
Our helicopter tours cover a range of popular destinations within the Flores region. Kanawa Island, known for its vibrant coral reefs and clear waters, is a highlight of the 18-minute tour. The 38-minute Altitude Adventure Tour includes Menjaga Beach and Sano Cunca Lake, each offering unique landscapes and stunning views. Padar Island, with its iconic three-bay view, is also visible from the air, providing a unique perspective not available from the ground. For those interested in wildlife, the tours offer the chance to spot Komodo dragons from above, particularly during the dry season from late April to early November, when they are more active.
Safety and Comfort on Board
Safety is our top priority, and we have implemented rigorous measures to ensure each flight is conducted with the utmost care. Our helicopters are maintained to the highest standards and operated by experienced pilots with extensive knowledge of the region.

The Bell 505 helicopter, known for its reliability and smooth ride, offers panoramic windows, ensuring that every passenger has an unobstructed view of the breathtaking scenery below.
Combining Helicopter Tours with Other Activities
While helicopter tours provide a unique way to explore Flores, they can be combined with other activities for a more comprehensive experience. Many visitors choose to pair their aerial adventure with a day tour or multi-day liveaboard-style boat trip. These tours often include stops at Pink Beach, where the sand’s unique hue is a sight to behold, and Manta Point, known for its rich marine biodiversity. By combining a helicopter tour with a boat trip, visitors can experience both the aerial and ground-level beauty of Flores, making the most of their time in this remarkable region.
