Itinerary

You can see Toronto from eye level on the street. You can climb the famous CN Tower to see it from above. You can even take a boat around the waterfront. But nowhere else can you experience a view of Toronto from the sky like this one, on board a helicopter flying high above the largest city in Canada.

Begin this Toronto helicopter tour at the Toronto City Center Airport, located downtown, just minutes west of the shoreline from the CN Tower.

This flight is the showcase flight of downtown Toronto. The tour takes place at 2,000 feet (609 meters), covering almost 22 miles (35 km) . Marvel at the sights from this height and the distance that can be traveled without battling with the congested streets and traffic lights below. Discover Toronto by flying over the Canadian National Exhibition grounds, plus Humber Bay and High Park in the west to the Don Valley Parkway and Casa Loma in the east; and from the Lake Shore in the south up to Bloor Street in the north before heading back downtown to complete this breathtaking aerial adventure.

ChristinaE_W, Oct 2024

This was well organized and safe. The tour was breathtaking. The staff were very friendly and professional. Highly recommend this excursion.

Amazing sights

Tracy_L, Oct 2024

The ground crew was amazing. They were very friendly and helpful. The flight itself was a very cool experience that could have improved if the pilot gave us a tour where she spoke to us and pointed out some of the sights we were seeing. The pilot did not speak to us the entire time we were in the air and it would have made the experience much more fun with some commentary.

Amazing and very professional helicopter ride

JeanMarie_S, Sept 2024

Excellent experience from start to end. The Team was brilliant and even though we were late due to late arrival in Toronto, rescheduled our flight and made it possible to take our flight. We had booked the 14min flight which allowed to get good views of downtown and the surroundings and being at the same hight as the CN tower is impressive. You did feel very safe throughout the whole experience and the photo taken at the end provides a nice souvenir. Thank you for the brilliant time we had.

Amazing experience!

Leticia_A, Dec 2023

Helicopter ride is one of the greatest experiences of all! I don’t miss the opportunity to ride with my family every time they come to visit me.

Great experience

Donna_G, Oct 2023

I bought this little adventure for my husband for our anniversary. I have zero complaints everyone was very nice and thorough with everything we needed to know. It was a really great experience and my husband was like a little kid lol. I’ve already recommended this to others

Fantastic way to see Toronto

Amanda_C, Aug 2023

Viator provided clear communication and confirmation of our booking. The helicopter journey over Toronto was brilliant, we were lucky with the weather as it was sunny and clear. Easy to get to, walking through the tunnel to Billy Bishop Airport. The staff were extremely friendly and put us at ease through the whole experience. The 14 minute tour gave us more time to take it all in. Note you do not get any commentary during the flight, so helps if you have taken in the Toronto layout before you do this to help you pick out the main areas. We did 3 Viator experiences on our trip to Toronto & Niagara, we will definitely be using them again.

Great Experience

Yogesh_N, Jun 2023

It was more than my expectation, I would love to recommend the same to my family and friends. Lovely....Will come back again.

Mikael_W, Dec 2022

Great tour! No better way of seeing Toronto.. Friendly staff and skilled pilot. Highly recommended for everyone unless very afried of heights.

Wonderful view of the City

Kevin_F, Oct 2022

Well organized and truly a great way to experience a different view of the City. Will recommend to visiting relatives as a great experience.

Nice experience, can say we did it.

Cassie_W, Aug 2022

Very easy to find once on the property. Check in process was easy. We had a safe and smooth flight experience, however it would have been nice if pilot gave some information regarding buildings and main attractions. Also, my husband is 6ft4in and this was a very small helicopter, was difficult for him to get in and out, just something to consider if you have super long legs. Our photo came out pretty nice. Overall a good experience.

This is a must try

Jake_F, Jul 2022

First time flying so I wasn't expecting the way it turns, to feel like we were about to crash 😬 but our pilot assured us it was normal, so I tried keeping that in mind while my husband laughed at me cuz I was freaking out 😂 overall had a really good time especially when we landed safely lol.

Amazing Experience

Toronto Helicopter Tour

The views on the 15 minute helicopter ride were breathtaking and we got to see every notable landmark Toronto has to offer. The workers were very helpful setting up and getting us on and off the chopper. Highly recommend this tour of the city.

Amazing experience

Robert_R, Apr 2022

Flying close to the CN tower was wonderful and the staff was very professional and kind. Thank you for a great experience

Thank you very much!!

Ethan_R, Sept 2020

Was nothing but a positive experience — the staff were beyond friendly and took the time to clearly explain what we as the customers were to do. Safety was held to a high standard and the pilot was very talented. I would highly recommend the 14 Minute Heli Tour over Toronto to both locals and visitors.

greg c, Oct 2016

A bit of a maze to get to the helicopter tour location. Once there, a comfortable place and informative staff preparing you before boarding the helicopter. The tour was awesome !!! Pilot loves his job and points out places of interest. Toronto from an aerial view is beautiful. Highly recommended.

Fabulous experience. Hardest part...

DrJColin_D, Sept 2016

Fabulous experience. Hardest part was finding the right part of the airport to report to - use of unlabelled dedicated phone line and walks round deserted hangers - very James Bond, and then the real thrill happened. Slick, well rehearsed, company with an experienced pilot Kevin and great, helpful and enthusiastic ground and admin staff. Weather was great and the whole experience was amazing.

🤗🤗👍👍

La sonrisa de mis nietos al bajar del helicóptero y sus comentarios sobre su experiencia Nada mas gratificante

lucie_s, Jun 2022

Tour en hélicoptère très sympa. On voit bien le paysage. En revanche, nous avions un rendez vous un autre jour qui avait été confirmé au matin, puis une fois sur place on nous a dit qu’il était annulé à cause du temps. Un peu déçue, surtout que l’aéroport n’est pas à côté. Le lendemain, nous y retourner cette fois ci impeccable. Le crew prend une photo à côté de l’aéroport qui est offerte. Puis décollage, pour précisément 11 minutes et pas 14. Deuxième déception, car vu le prix on s’attend à faire 14..
