Overview

The Tampa Downtown Tour delivers a sweeping, high-energy aerial adventure over Tampa’s most iconic sights. Your journey begins at Peter O. Knight Airport, where the helicopter lifts smoothly into the air and immediately carries you over the waterfront mansions of Davis Islands and the curve of Bayshore Boulevard.

As you approach the city, the skyline rises around you—Amalie Arena, the Florida Aquarium, Ybor City, and the University of Tampa all come into view from just above rooftop level. Whether you’re experiencing a helicopter flight for the first time or chasing unforgettable skyline photos, this tour offers an exhilarating, panoramic look at Tampa’s vibrant urban core and coastal beauty.
