Argentina · HELICOPTER TOURS
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 4 helicopter flights worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
Take a 10-minute helicopter flight over Iguazu Falls from Av. das Cataratas in Foz do Iguaçu. You will see the Brazilian side from above in a small group of up to six, with Portuguese, English, and Spanish support available. The flight is weather dependent and has a minimum passenger count.
From Ushuaia, you fly over the bay, Olivia River Valley, glaciers, peat bogs, and Emerald Lagoon before landing in the Andes for champagne. The flight has live commentary in English, Spanish, or Portuguese, with hotel pickup and a small helicopter setting.
“Absolutely spectacular flight into the Andes, repleta with champers and a lake! It felt like we were practically riding a drone, the helicopter was so small. Fantastic views in all directions — short, but perfectly formed.”
From HeliUshuaia in Ushuaia, you’ll take a 30-minute helicopter flight over Tierra del Fuego with an Andes landing. Look for glaciers, high mountain lagoons, Five Brothers, valleys, and the Beagle Channel. Pilot Nico is praised for his calm, professional service, and a champagne toast may follow the landing.
“Our stay in Ushuaia was filled with many tours; penguin walking, Beagle Channel, and Tierra del Fuego, this was the highlight of our stay! Truly magnificent views and the glass of champagne on the mountain was crisp and delightful. Our best photos are from this helicopter flight. Worth the money!”
Fly from Ushuaia over Ushuaia Bay, the Olivia River Valley, Mount Olivia, Mount Cinco Hermanos, peat bogs, forests, glaciers, and Emerald Lagoon. A live guide speaks Spanish, English, or Portuguese. Hotel-area transfers and a four-minute safety briefing are included.
Pick a city, an ice front or a table.
