Great moment. The tour is fanstatic. The pilot and support team are very friendly. There was short video for the helicopter trip preparation. Besides, a professional photographer will take photos of you with the helicopter. You will fly next to the Toronto tower - it's amazing and you never forget that moment.

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, covering almost 12 miles in just a few minutes. 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 in the west to the Don Valley Parkway 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.

Great team - amazing views! Went to celebrate a parent’s bday, they enjoyed it. Especially the included printed photo. Try not to bring too much of your personal items as you’ll have to put it in a tiny locker. Thanks again, team!

Carlene_S, May 2026

I booked a tour for my son's 4th birthday because he is really into helicopters. He loved every second of it! They even allowed he to sit in the cockpit beside the pilot! Thank you to all the amazing staff and pilot who made this experience unforgettable for my son

Interesting

Djenane_S, Sep 2025

Tammy_P, Aug 2025

This was such an amazing experience from start to finish. I would highly recommend this tour. The staff was amazing! The city is absolutely beautiful!!

Worth it!

Ashley_M, Aug 2025

The staff were all knowledgeable and helpful. They made me feel that safety was their top priority and executed. Seven minutes went so fast but still grateful for the views. The photo will definitely be a keepsake.

Highly recommend!

Kylie_S, Jul 2025

The ride and the view was worth the price! The crew was super nice, the facility itself was nice and the atmosphere was full of excitement. The ride was of course quick but you can see the city in 7 minutes. The pilot didn’t speak with us ( a small amount of interaction would have been nice). They don’t allow you to take photos outside of the helicopter as they have someone taking professional photos that you must purchase after (expensive), just an fyi. But I deemed all of these things with it.

Great time

Karyce_G, Jul 2025

Smooth process along with a short ferry ride. Expert pilots and crew. Friendly staff with great pictures at the end.

Very Peaceful!

Abbey_R, Jun 2025

We didn’t know what to expect but it was a very peaceful ride and beautiful day in Toronto. The lake is so pretty. Staff was great, bonus points for a woman pilot, very nice facility and not hard to find.

No photos allowed

Rosemary_N, Feb 2025

It was fair but I was disappointed by the fact that we were not allowed to take pictures with our phones!!!!!!

Amazing team and experience

Jeff_Z, Feb 2025

Great experience with a very professional yet welcoming team. Its unbelievable the deal you get for $170 a person, a bucket list experience for the price of a dinner for two in downtown Toronto. Not a complaint but rather insight for other tall individuals, I’m 6’4 and had some difficulties getting into the helicopter due to my height and would recommend wearing non restrictive clothing for an easier time getting in and out

Profesional and fun!

Steve_D, Jan 2025

Very professional team that made it both comfortable and fun! The booking experience, communication and the experience were great.

Amazing trip with true professionals!
