Covering both Yorkshire's dramatic coastline and its sweeping countryside in a single journey, this extended helicopter flight showcases some of the county's most recognisable landscapes from the air. Reserved exclusively for your group, it's an unforgettable way to experience the scale and variety of North Yorkshire with an experienced pilot at the controls.
Arriving at Sherburn-in-Elmet, you'll check in before meeting your pilot for a detailed safety briefing and introduction to the helicopter. Once everyone is comfortably seated, the aircraft lifts away from the airfield and begins an unforgettable sightseeing route covering much of North Yorkshire's coastline and countryside.
Flying east towards the Humber Estuary, you'll enjoy impressive aerial views of the iconic Humber Bridge before turning north along the coastline. The route continues over Hornsea, Bridlington and the dramatic white cliffs of Flamborough Head, before following the towering Bempton Cliffs, one of Britain's best-known seabird colonies. Continuing further north, you'll pass Filey, Scarborough, Robin Hood's Bay and the historic fishing port of Whitby, giving you an incredible perspective of Yorkshire's ever-changing coastline.
Leaving the coast behind, the return journey heads inland across the expansive North York Moors National Park, where rolling moorland stretches for miles beneath the helicopter. Before returning to Sherburn-in-Elmet, you'll also fly over the historic city of York, completing a route that combines coastal scenery, national park landscapes and one of England's most famous cathedral cities. Throughout the experience, the helicopter is reserved exclusively for your booking, ensuring your group enjoys the entire flight together.
