    Pilots Blake and David earn consistent praise for making guests feel welcome and safe from the moment they arrive. Reviewers highlight how the team puts nervous flyers at ease with thorough safety briefings and friendly conversation, then delivers stunning aerial views of Hilton Head Island. The dolphin spotting seems to be a regular highlight, with pilots willing to circle back for better visibility when wildlife appears below. The experience clearly resonates with first-timers and return visitors alike. Guests appreciate the range of tour options, from quick 10-minute flights to longer eco tours, with the doors-off option adding extra thrills for adventurous types. The pricing gets mentioned as surprisingly reasonable for a helicopter tour. With an overwhelmingly perfect rating across hundreds of reviews, this operation has built a solid reputation for professionalism, safety, and creating memorable experiences that guests want to repeat on future visits.

    Hilton Head Helicopters is a wonderful way to see the island! The pilots are great and lots of fun, pointing out all kinds of cool things that you can only see/appreciate from the sky. Safety is a top priority, as you can see throughout the whole process. They have several different options in terms of flights offered as well as prices, which makes it a great fit for everyone. Mariana (the owner) was great to work with and very communicative throughout to find the best options for us. Next time we will bring our kids and let them experience this. Highly recommend!
