What better way to enjoy the landscapes of the Serra de Tramuntana than by flying over them? A helicopter ride over Mallorca will bring you spectacular views of the biggest mountain range on the Balearic Islands. If you’d like to enjoy a unique experience on your next trip to the island, then booking a helicopter trip could be an excellent option.

A helicopter trip can cost between €150 and €1,500 depending on the flight time and number of people. The most common starting point for helicopter flights is usually the Son Bonet aerodrome, located between the towns of Inca and Pla de Na Tesa. However, there are other heliports all over the island, and you’ll be able to fly from there too.

The company Diving & Adventure Mallorca has private heliports all over Mallorca and also owns a large fleet of helicopters. You’ll have the opportunity to discover many beautiful hidden beaches and coves, as well as mountain landscapes that are only accessible by a helicopter flight over Mallorca.

Another of the most exclusive options is a heli-dining flight. As you may have imagined, heli-dining involves a helicopter ride to exclusive restaurants that have their own heliport – you’ll enjoy the very best in Mallorcan gastronomy! The pilot will wait for you as you have lunch or dinner at your leisure, and will then take you back to your hotel or to the heliport. And, of course, both on the way there and on the way back, you’ll be able to enjoy some incredible views of Mallorca.

Click Mallorca is another company that offers great helicopter experiences. One of their most popular routes is to fly over Sa Foradada, skirting the coast, the wonderful archipelagos, and the Serra de Tramuntana. You can even fly very close to Puig Major, the highest mountain in Mallorca. You’ll find all the pilots to be very friendly and professional, and they have great experience in the field.

There are also specific helicopter tours for amateur photographers, wedding flights, flights for films and documentaries, and many other options. All you have to do is choose the service that suits you best and have the time of your life!

Helicopter rides: a unique gift and a truly novel experience

If you’re looking for a luxury romantic gift, then why not consider a helicopter trip? A helicopter flight over Mallorca is an unexpected, original, and perfect gift for your partner or family. With many companies, you can order a gift voucher, which doesn’t tie you to a specific date, and the recipient can decide when to use it.

A voucher for a helicopter trip is an excellent gift idea for what will surely be an unforgettable experience for anyone, although we must say that they’re especially popular with couples. 

Helixperiences is a company devoted to creating those magical moments we often see in the movies. They offer a Heli&Wine experience that combines a helicopter flight with a few pleasurable drinks. After a ten-minute flight over the vineyards in the island's main wine-growing area, you’ll then be able to visit an authentic Mallorcan bodega (winery) and take a tour of the estate.

Another of the most popular gifts is a helicopter tour over Valldemossa, one of the most beautiful villages on the island. Following the coastline in the direction of Valldemossa, you can also fly over the house of the famous actor Michael Douglas, who owns an estate that can only be seen from the air.

However, if your partner has always dreamt of flying a helicopter, then why not buy them a helicopter training course with training flights included. Some companies offer precisely this option, and you’ll be able to enjoy the experience from the “driver’s seat”! 

And, finally, if you already have your helicopter license, then there’s also the option to rent a helicopter for a private flight, and you’ll be able to choose your own route to discover Mallorca from the air.
