Overview
Choose a departure time that fits your schedule then make your way to the Thousand Islands Heliport. Meet a helicopter pilot for a short safety briefing and itinerary, then climb into the helicopter, which can accommodate up to three passengers.
You’ll have a pair of headphones so you don’t miss a word of the pilot’s narration during the flight, and you'll pass over some of the Thousand Island’s most striking sights. Keep your camera ready while flying above the St. Lawrence River and the Thousand Islands Bridge, and cross into US airspace to see the Boldt and Singer Castles, grand, Gilded Age landmarks built with turn-of-the-century fortunes.
Look down at the pretty Manhattan Group islands, and hear about the many ships that have gone down in the Thousand Islands fierce storms and howling winds. Catch a glimpse of the pretty Sisters Island Lighthouse, and begin the return trip to Thousand Islands Heliport, where this tour concludes. High-definition footage of the flight is available for purchase.

An experience I'll never forget!

Thanks to Quinn, our pilot. This was my first time in a helicopter and it was amazing!! 30 minutes flew by (pun intended).
Awesome and memorable experience!

My wife and I took the tour to celebrate our wedding anniversary. It was magical! We had a blast. The pilot/guide was excellent: professional, yet fun and informative. Highly recommend it.
Coolest experience

The views were incredible and the pilot was very knowledgeable. It was fantastic and I would absolutely do it again. It was a little cloudy/foggy at 10 am when we took off but it cleared up as we went along. Next time I would probably book a little later in the day
