Overview

The Sarasota Sunset Tour begins with a smooth departure from Sarasota–Bradenton International Airport, lifting you into the warm glow of golden hour. As the helicopter climbs, you’ll drift over the shimmering waters surrounding Bird Key, where luxury waterfront homes reflect the fading sunlight.
