Royal Gorge Helicopter Tours – Cañon City

Since 1989, Royal Gorge Helitours has been giving thrilling rides in helicopters in the Royal Gorge area near Cañon City. The granite canyon walls, towering mountains, and famous suspension bridge make for an unforgettable and picturesque journey.

When you take off from the Royal Gorge Heliport and fly into the sky, you feel freer than any other mode of transportation. In a matter of seconds, you’ll have soared above the canyon wall, and the almost 1,000-foot plunge to the Arkansas River below will be in full view.

The experienced pilots are friendly and have over 7,000 hours of flight time in the Colorado mountains and over three decades combined in aviation. It’s one of the best ways to experience this narrow canyon and high suspension bridge .

Year-Round Heli Tours

Each Robinson R66 helicopter can hold a maximum of four people in addition to the pilot. There is a two-seat minimum, so if you would like to travel solo, you’ll have to buy two tickets. Even though it’s best to book flights ahead of time, it’s possible to purchase tours on a walk-in basis, depending on availability. Online reservations are quick and easy to make.

Tour options range from 8 to 90 miles long and are more expensive the longer they go. These include the following selections:

• Bridge Run Adventure
• Canyon Run Adventure
• Royal Gorge Run Adventure
• Big Horn Sheep Tour
• American the Beautiful Tour
• Pikes Peak Tour
• Royal Gorge at Sunset
• Sangre de Cristo Sunset Tour
• The Colorado Sunset Helicopter Tour
• Pikes Peak at Sunset

If you have a special occasion or proposal in mind, contact the company, and they will help you work out a plan to make your event memorable.

• elrhino069 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Great spontaneous decision We were driving through the area and saw the helicopter landing and decided we were going to take a flight. Best decision made that day. Nothing can compare the views from the over Royal Gorge. Plus you see big horn sheep and the fire scar from the recent fire. He points out very clearly the different sight you can’t see from any other way including the old mines. Read more Written March 19, 2024

• RAnde1991 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Amazing! My husband and I went on a Christmas light tour in Colorado Springs. The staff we spoke to in the planning process was knowledgable and kind. We were very nervous due to the fact neither of us had ever flown in a helicopter. Every staff member we spoke to was extremely patient and answered any and all questions we had to put us more at ease. When we arrived there was basically no wait. Our pilot, Eli, was AMAZING. We had an awesome time flying with him. He knew exactly how to time when we flew over specific places for the optimal viewing experience. I would absolutely recommend this adventure!

I wanted to give my wife that experience, and was finally able to do so. Our pilot, Will Sanders is a LEO and gave us a special trip. This in time well-spent. Next time we are going to take one of the longer trips. I documented it on YouTube on my channel, coxnotes. Read more Written October 16, 2023
