Cannes Helicopter Tour
The Lérins Islands, the bay of Cannes and the red rocks of the Esterel, from Cannes Mandelieu.
The flight leaves Cannes Mandelieu, ten minutes from the Croisette, and reaches the bay within moments. The short circuit loops the Lérins Islands and the bay of Cannes; the longer circuits continue over the Esterel massif and the Corniche d'Or, where red rock drops straight into the sea — the most photographed contrast on this coast. Three durations, up to five passengers, priced on request.

Frequently asked questions
How many passengers can board?
Up to five, depending on the aircraft and total weight. The flight is private: your group flies alone with the pilot.
From what age can children fly?
There is no regulatory minimum age: each child has a seat with a belt and a headset their size, accompanied by an adult. Most families fly children from about three or four years old.
What if the weather cancels the flight?
The flight is rescheduled at no charge to another date. The decision rests with the pilot, and no circuit is flown in degraded conditions.
