Our lovely world is teeming with breathtaking landscapes and legendary cities, some of which are best experienced from above. Not only does a helicopter tour give guests an unparalleled bird's-eye view of a region, but it also delivers an exciting and amusing experience as well as many opportunities for postcard-worthy photographs. In addition, helicopter flights are sometimes the only method for tourists to observe distant regions of a location. From magnificent coral reefs and active volcanoes to breathtaking waterfalls and famous city skylines, I've compiled a list of the world's most breathtaking helicopter flights that you should try the next time you're in the mood for an adrenaline rush.

1- CALIFORNIA, SPECIALIZED AVIATION
If you are looking to explore the beautiful landscape of California, then Specialized Aviation is the right choice! They will take you through the hilly mountains as well as the famous bridge – allowing you to take in the spectacular views. While you can choose from their customized wine tours, flights, and other excursions – their delightful and adept team will make you feel right at home! If you are in this area, then you must try their helicopter tour.
2- RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL
Rio de Janeiro, home to the Samba and the Caipirinha drink, is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, found amid majestic mountains, rich vegetation, and white-sand beaches along the Atlantic Ocean. When you stand beside the world-famous Corcovado monument or atop Sugarloaf Mountain and take in one of the world's most breathtaking vistas, it's easy to see where the locals get the expression "God created the world in six days and dedicated the seventh to Rio." And what could be more enjoyable than an aerial tour of Rio de Janeiro? From the vantage point of a helicopter, you will experience spectacular views of this lovely city, which is set between granite hills towering from Guanabara Bay.
3- VICTORIA FALLS, ZIMBABWE
Victoria Falls, the largest curtain of falling water in the world, is situated on the Zambezi River, which forms the boundary between Zambia and Zimbabwe. At the height of the rainy season, spray columns can be seen from miles away as more than 500 million cubic meters of water per minute cascade over the edge, across a breadth of over two kilometers, into a valley more than 100 meters below. The broad basalt rock that the falls roar over changes the Zambezi from a tranquil river into a furious torrent that cuts through a succession of stunning gorges. The best way to experience the actual magnificence of the falls is from above. Due to the position of the heliport, the helicopters are above the breathtaking Zambezi River landscape within 30 seconds after takeoff.
4- NEW YORK CITY, USA
The Big Apple is distinguished by its distinctive Manhattan skyline, a fascinating shape generated by hundreds of gleaming skyscrapers that is instantly recognizable by everyone around the globe. The crown jewel of New York's skyline is the 102-story Empire State Building, the world's tallest building from its construction until 1972 (it is now the 37th highest building). Several helicopter companies allow you to photograph the New York City skyline with your feet dangling above iconic Manhattan buildings, which is one of the most significant ways to see the cityscape.
Thus, these are some tours and areas you cannot miss while traveling!
