Best of · PRIVATE DRIVERS
Four-seat aircraft and one weather window a day mean the good private transfer & helicopter days go early. Below: the 4 to book ahead, what each includes and how they differ.
Meet at Port Vell, take a 15-minute boat to Barcelona’s heliport, then fly over the coast, Old Town, Olympic Port, Agbar Tower, Gaudí’s Eixample and Port Forum. The small-group flight carries up to three passengers, includes a flight video, and lasts only a few minutes in the air.
“Great experience of a helicopter ride. Thoroughly enjoyed the view”
Fly from Franz Josef over rainforest and rugged peaks, land on Franz Josef Glacier, then spend 2.5 hours exploring crevasses, ice caves, and changing blue ice with an English-speaking guide. Guides such as Ryan, Sarah, Drew, and Abbey are praised for clear safety help and lively stories.
“Great experience. I wish we were given time to take photos while we were walking . It felt like we were in a rush, the only time we stopped walking was when we were waiting for the helicopter.”
Fly onto a remote part of Fox Glacier, then spend up to three hours following ice steps through caves, arches, crevasses, and frozen rivers. Guides such as Billy, Kate, and Keeley explain how the glacier moves while you walk in boots and crampons. Return by helicopter when weather allows.
“Taylor our guide was excellent, finding plenty things to see on the glacier and explaining a lot about the terrain and glaciers in general.”
You’ll fly with Maverick Helicopters over Lake Mead, Hoover Dam, Fortification Hill, and Temple Rock to Grand Canyon West. Spend about three hours visiting Eagle Point, the Skywalk, a Hualapai village, Guano Point, and Highpoint Hike. Hotel pickup is included within five miles of the Las Vegas Strip.
“It was awesome to be able to visit different spots at the Grand Canyon with a bus.”
