Barcelona Helicopter, Sailboat & Old Town Private Walking Tour

1.Barcelona Helicopter, Sailboat & Old Town Private Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,395 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $513Our pick

Start with a guided walk through Passeig de Gràcia, Plaça de Catalunya, and the Gothic Quarter, then take a boat transfer to Barcelona’s heliport for a short coastal helicopter flight. Guides such as Jimena, Carlos, Han, Lucas, and Roger have earned praise for clear, friendly commentary.

“This was a last-minute tour that we booked while in Barcelona. We had just finished a cruise and stayed an extra few days in the area. The helicopter ride was extremely quick maybe about 5 to 7 minutes, but the views were still breathtaking. The walking tour was about an hour and a half so make sure you were comfortable walking shoes. The guide was very sweet and originally from Austria, but was very knowledgeable the Spaniard culture and the old town of Barcelona and it’s new beginnings. We finished up with a boat trip, which was also very nice. The boat trip itself is just kind of calming to…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 340 reviews · from $283

Cruise from Cairns aboard Evolution to two outer reef sites, with up to five hours for snorkeling or scuba, a BBQ lunch, and a 10-minute helicopter flight over Hastings Reef. The friendly crew, including team member Eddie, keeps the busy day safe, clear, and fun.

“It's a long lineup at check in as they only have 2 counters checking in ~100 passengers. Once checked in, we boarded Evolution which is a very nice boat and we have the same assigned seats for the whole trip. The big problem is the organization with the 10min helicopter ride. We paid an extra $260 for this option. We were Group 3 of the helicopter ride and were told not to snorkel before the ride as there would be lots of time afterwards for snorkelling. NOT TRUE! By the time we came back from the helicopter ride, they were already announcing that people should get back to the boat…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 224 reviews · 7 minutes - 2 hours · from $134Best value

Take a short helicopter flight over Barcelona from the Port of Barcelona, then add a 1.5-hour yacht cruise with snacks, three drinks, and a professional skipper. Flights last 7, 10, or 12 minutes, with private upgrades reaching Montserrat. Timing and departure points vary.

“Morthada from Sailing Experience Barcelona arranged the yacht cruise and the helicopter ride exactly as requested. He coordinated everything perfectly with me and ensured that the timings fit seamlessly with my schedule. A special mention to our yacht guide, Marcello – the “Spaghetti Captain.” He was very humorous and, at the same time, extremely knowledgeable, with 26 years of sailing experience. He made our sailing trip exciting and engaging with his stories, laughter, and expertise. The helicopter ride was both safe and fun. The view of Barcelona from above was truly mesmerizing. I would definitely recommend this experience to my friends.”
