Your Luxury Travel Bucket List
There are few experiences more thrilling, more indulgent, or more unforgettable than seeing the world from the sky in your own private helicopter. A luxury helicopter tour is more than just a flight – it’s a privileged perspective, a chance to see iconic landmarks and untouched wilderness from a vantage point reserved for a select few. It offers not only privacy and exclusivity but also access to extraordinary places you simply cannot reach by road, train, or even boat.
At Awake & Wander Luxury Travel, we curate tailored
luxury helicopter tours that seamlessly blend comfort, adventure, and peace of mind. From the moment you lift off to the moment you touch back down, every detail is taken care of – leaving you free to savour the wonder of it all.
Here’s why a private helicopter tour deserves a place at the very top of your luxury travel bucket list.
The Allure of Aerial Views
There’s nothing quite like the moment the earth drops away beneath you, and your destination spreads out below like a living map. A helicopter gives you the rare gift of scale – sweeping panoramas, intricate details, and ever-changing light that turns even the most familiar landmarks into something magical.
Flying privately means you’re not sharing the window with strangers, jostling for views or waiting your turn. Instead, it’s just you and your chosen companions, free to fully immerse yourself in the sights – and to linger over them as long as you like.
Unmatched Perspectives: Seeing Landmarks from Above
Some of the world’s most iconic sites are at their most breathtaking from the air. Picture tracing the glittering curves of the River Thames as you circle above London, or hovering above the ancient temples of Angkor Wat as dawn’s first light washes over them. From the Eiffel Tower to Uluru, from the Sydney Opera House to the Grand Canyon, seeing these landmarks from above adds an entirely new dimension to your appreciation of their beauty and significance.
On a
luxury helicopter tour, your pilot can adjust the route to focus on what excites you most, offering a completely personalised way to see the sights – and to capture them in photographs you’ll treasure forever.
Nature’s Majesty: The Beauty of Landscapes
Of course, some of the most spectacular helicopter tours don’t involve a single man-made landmark. Instead, they showcase nature at its wildest and most awe-inspiring.
Glide over Alaska’s glacial peaks and frozen fjords. Sweep across the golden savannahs of Kruger National Park, spotting herds of elephants and giraffes moving below. Marvel at the jagged coastline of New Zealand’s Fiordland, where turquoise waters meet towering cliffs and hidden waterfalls tumble into secret coves.
These are places where the journey is just as extraordinary as the destination – and where a helicopter gives you access without leaving so much as a footprint.
Exclusive Experiences Beyond the Ordinary
What sets a
luxury helicopter tour apart is not just what you see, but how you experience it.
From sipping champagne on a snow-capped peak, to landing on a remote beach for a private picnic, to arriving at a vineyard or mountain lodge in incomparable style – helicopters unlock experiences that can’t be replicated any other way.
At Awake & Wander, we work with trusted local partners and experienced pilots to curate entirely bespoke itineraries that reflect your personal tastes. This isn’t about ticking boxes; it’s about crafting moments that are uniquely yours.
Tailored Itineraries for Discerning Travellers
Perhaps you dream of hopping between Tuscan hilltop villages, or following the rugged cliffs of the Amalfi Coast before dining in a hidden trattoria. Maybe you’d prefer to chase the midnight sun over the Norwegian fjords, or to watch whales breaching from above on Canada’s Pacific coast.
Your tour can be as relaxed or as adventurous as you choose, with every route, stop, and service designed specifically around you.
Unique Landing Spots: Access to Hidden Gems
One of the greatest luxuries of helicopter travel is the ability to land where others can’t. Whether it’s a secluded Highland estate, a pristine glacier, or a private island beach, we can take you to places inaccessible by any other means.
It’s not just about privacy – it’s about discovery. About going beyond the obvious and finding your own corner of the world to call your own, even if just for an afternoon.
Luxury Travel Defined: Why Helicopters Exude Class
Luxury isn’t only about comfort – it’s about exclusivity, personalisation, and ease. And nothing embodies these qualities quite like a helicopter.
A Symbol of Status
Around the world, helicopter travel is synonymous with sophistication. Discerning travellers, celebrities, and business leaders choose helicopters because they value their time, privacy, and the unique sense of occasion that only comes with taking to the skies in style.
Arriving by helicopter isn’t just practical – it makes a statement. One that says you value the extraordinary.
The Art of Comfort
Forget cramped cabins and noisy engines. Today’s helicopters are havens of tranquillity, with spacious leather seats, climate control, and noise-cancelling headsets that let you enjoy the experience in peace. Many offer panoramic windows for unmatched views, while bespoke in-flight catering and even onboard Wi-Fi keep you refreshed and connected.
Every detail is designed to make your journey as comfortable and indulgent as possible.
