About Helicopter Tour

HeliDubai operates scenic helicopter tours from the Atlantis Helipad at the tip of Palm Jumeirah, offering the most dramatic aerial perspectives of Dubai's world-famous landmarks. From 500-1,500 feet above the Gulf, you see the perfect palm-tree geometry of Palm Jumeirah, the crescent-shaped breakwater of The World Islands, and the Burj Khalifa's needle-point spire — perspectives impossible to achieve any other way. Three route options cover progressively more of the city: the 12-minute Iconic Tour (Palm Jumeirah, Atlantis, Burj Al Arab), the 17-minute Sightseeing Tour (adding Dubai Marina, Ain Dubai, and JBR), and the 25-minute Grand Tour (adding Burj Khalifa, Downtown, World Islands, and Port Rashid). All flights use Bell 206 or AW139 helicopters with 5-6 seats and bubble-canopy windows ensuring every passenger has unobstructed views.

Tips for Visiting Helicopter Tour

The 17-minute tour offers the best value — it covers all photogenic highlights without the premium price of the 25-minute option.

Sit on the left side of the aircraft for better Burj Khalifa and Downtown views on the Grand Tour route.

Dark clothing reduces reflection in the glass. Remove watches and bracelets that catch light.

Morning flights (before 11 AM) have the best visibility. Summer afternoons often have reduced visibility from haze.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance should I book a helicopter tour?

3-5 days ahead is typically sufficient on weekdays. For weekend morning slots (Friday-Saturday, especially in winter high season), book 7-10 days ahead. Last-minute bookings (same day) are sometimes possible on weekdays but cannot be guaranteed, especially for specific time preferences.

What happens if my flight is cancelled for weather?

You receive either a full refund or complimentary rebooking to the next available slot — your choice. Cancellations happen for fog (December-February mornings), sandstorms, or winds exceeding 35 knots. The pilot makes the decision 1-2 hours before scheduled departure, and you are notified by SMS or phone call.

Can children go on helicopter tours in Dubai?

Children aged 2 and above can fly (infants under 2 are not permitted for safety). Children aged 2-12 typically pay the same fare as adults — helicopter tours rarely offer child discounts. All children must be in their own seat with a seatbelt; no lap-sitting is allowed.
