Austin Heli Tours lifts your Austin adventure to a whole new vantage point. Departing from Austin Executive Airport, their well-kept helicopters and team of FAA-certified pilots showcase sweeping skylines, winding lakes, and Hill ...
Austin delivers some seriously gorgeous views from the air, and the pilots here know how to make the most of them. Reviewers are practically gushing about the experience, with pilots Michelle (Meech) and Cole earning consistent praise for their skill, personality, and ability to customize tours based on comfort levels. People loved how these pilots balanced professionalism with genuine enthusiasm, sharing local knowledge while making everyone feel safe and welcomed. The smooth booking process and flexibility get thumbs up too, with the team accommodating last-minute changes when possible. One booking mishap through a third-party agency left an anniversary couple stranded at the airport with no reservation on file, which was heartbreaking to read. That said, this seems to be an isolated incident involving an outside booking platform rather than a pattern with direct reservations. Beyond that single disaster, the overwhelming sentiment is pure excitement. From bucket list rides to tactical shooting experiences to discovery flights where you actually take the controls, people are finding exactly what they're hoping for and leaving with memories that stick.
Couldn’t speak more highly of the experience. My mom told me recently that riding a helicopter was an item on her bucket list; I’ve lived in Austin for decades and always wanted to explore it from the sky. We found Austin Heli Tours online and signed up for the Lake Travis/Downtown tour the following day. Smooth signup, easy process. Our pilot was so fun and took great care of us — she “read the room” very well and provided a tour that matched our comfort level but stretched us a little once we were ready. My mom felt completely safe the whole time, which surprised both of us! Strongly recommend you check this out.
