Nashville helicopter tours

Booked through Viator from John C. Tune Airport, with free cancellation up to 24 hours before.

Short Private Helicopter Flight over Music City Lowest price ★ 4.27-10 min flight76 reviewsFree cancellation

Short Private Helicopter Flight over Music City
Private7-10 min in the airFrom 1 passenger

The cheapest way into the air, and the one to read carefully. Viator sells it as a downtown tour, but the listed route runs along the Cumberland River past Tennessee State University, and many guests say they saw the skyline from a distance rather than overhead. Good as a first taste of flying; not the flight for close views of Broadway.

What's included
  • 7 to 10 minutes in the air, about 20 minutes in all
  • Private: only your party (1 to 3 passengers)
  • Listed route: Cumberland River, Tennessee State University and back
  • Bottled water; 300 lb (137 kg) per passenger, 600 lb per flight
  • Not included: a loop over Lower Broadway, getting to Tune Airport

The classic downtown loop and the most booked flight in Nashville. You lift off from John C. Tune Airport, follow the Cumberland River into the city and circle Lower Broadway, the Ryman Auditorium, Nissan Stadium, the State Capitol and the Parthenon, with your pilot talking you through the landmarks on the headsets.

What's included
  • 12 to 15 minutes in the air, about 30 minutes in all with the briefing and walk to the helicopter
  • Route over Broadway, the Ryman, Nissan Stadium, the Capitol, the Parthenon and Vanderbilt
  • Pilot commentary through headsets

Sunset, Evening or Night Helicopter Tour Best rated ★ 4.920-25 min flight242 reviewsFree cancellation

Sunset, Evening or Night Helicopter Tour
Golden hour or city lightsPrivate20-25 min

The longest and best rated flight here. Pick an evening, sunset or night slot and fly the downtown landmarks as the sky turns orange or once the skyline, the bridges and Nissan Stadium are lit. Only your party is on board, and there is time to linger over the city rather than a quick circle.

What's included
  • 20 to 25 minutes in the air (listed duration)
  • Private: only your party (1 to 3 passengers)
  • Choose an evening, sunset or night time slot
  • Same landmarks as the downtown tour, including Broadway and the Ryman
  • 300 lb (137 kg) per passenger, 600 lb per flight; not included: tips
From$250per person Reserve
