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.

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”!
