Try something new this year and see Destin from a different point of view with Timberview Helicopter Tours!
If you love coming to Destin for the white sand beaches and emerald waters, consider taking flight during your next visit and seeing the coast from a bird’s eye view.
Upon arrival at Timberview Helicopters in Destin, you will be greeted by a friendly staff prepared to help you get ready for your tour. Once your group has been checked in and given brief safety instructions, you will be guided outside to anxiously await your flight.
Riders are instructed to stay in front of the helicopter to have a picture taken before boarding. As you enter the helicopter, you’re welcomed by a friendly pilot who is ready to set you at ease. The team buckles you in and hands you your headset for in-flight communication. Within minutes you are up in the air with the water beneath you.
Depending on the package, the ride lasts between 10 and 40 minutes. The shorter route (an 8-mile tour) includes stunning views of the Emerald Coast from Destin to Crystal Beach to Miramar Beach where you’ll cruise over the area’s unique dolphin-shaped, artificial reef. Viewing the coast from above, Emerald Coast Parkway appears as a peninsula between the beach and the Bay. Throughout your ride , it’s fun to spot your favorite shop, restaurants, neighborhoods and resorts as well as view beachgoers frolicking in the surf. But the real “wow” moments come with special appearances from local marine life. From dolphins to rays to schools of fish and sharks, the aerial views bring a new perspective and appreciation for Destin and the Gulf of Mexico.
For the extended tour, book the Seaside trip. This scenic coast tour flies 50 miles down the coast from Destin to Miramar beach and Topsail Hill State Preserve to Scenic 30A and the town of Seaside with perfectly pitched roofs on pastel-colored cottages. Preview a trip by watching our quick video on the Newman-Dailey Instagram page.

The trips can also be booked as a private charter for an hourly rate. Booking a reservation is not required but highly recommended because the spots fill up fast. Be sure to arrive 10 minutes prior to your scheduled flight time. Upon arrival, adults, including the adult who booked the trip, will need to provide photo identification.
