🌍 What to Expect

Your experience begins with optional private transfer from your hotel within Cannes city centre to Cannes-Mandelieu Airport. After ID verification and a safety briefing, you board your helicopter for take-off over the coastline.

The 12-minute Discovery flight focuses on Cannes itself. You’ll fly above the Boulevard de la Croisette, the Palais des Festivals and Port Canto before circling the Lérins Islands. The lagoon between Sainte-Marguerite and Saint-Honorat appears particularly clear from the air, offering strong contrast against the coastline.

The 25-minute Red Rocks option continues west towards Théoule-sur-Mer and the Massif de l’Esterel, where volcanic red cliffs meet the Mediterranean. The 45-minute Grand Coast extends further along the Gulf of Saint-Tropez and its protected capes, or may head east towards Nice and Monaco depending on operational conditions. The 60-minute Canyon flight leaves the coast entirely, climbing inland to the Gorges du Verdon and Lake Sainte-Croix, offering a completely different perspective over Provence’s interior terrain before returning to Cannes.
