If you are looking for a unique Smoky Mountain experience, youâve found it. SAFETY: well kept and professional outfit from what we could tell. CREW: Young, but both the ground crew and the pilot knew what they were doing. We felt comfortable and safe the entire time. PILOT: Our pilot was Taylor. Heâs a bit new to the Smokies (we could have given him the tour), but he provided a smooth and fantastic ride. Got nerves? No worries, on a nice day our ride was smooth as silkâŚand fun. THE RIDE: We bought the National Park ride, which lasted about 20 minutes. While the map shows you going east of Pigeon Forge and south of Gatlinburg, our ride went down the parkway and just north of PFâŚthen out to Wears Valley and back to the heliport. It was shorter than billed, but was still worth every penny. THE VIEWS: Spectacular. All the things weâve seen at ground level over the years were really fun to identify during our flight. The Island. Dollywood in the distance. Starr Crest resort to the east. Le Conte. The Sky Bridge. The Parkway in Wears Valley. Our resort (flew right over it!). It was a once-in-a-life time EXPERIENCE that we wonât forget. TIPS: Wear dark clothes. Light colored clothes reflect off the windows and ruin pics. Take your camera or cell phone. Donât take so many pics you miss the experience (a lot of people do that). Go on a clear day. Clouds and haze would make it less spectacular. Donât just look downâŚ.look out at the mountainsâŚthey are incredible!!! OVERALL: Even though the route was shorter than billed, this outfit is safe and the ride was great. At no time do we feel at risk or in danger (in case you are nervous about flying). If you are looking to make a memory, this is a great option if you have the cash. But experiences are worth...

If you're looking for the perfect mix of adrenaline, natural beauty, and unforgettable memories, this helicopter and jet boat tour absolutely delivers. From start to finish, the experience was seamless, professional, and above allâthrilling.
Helicopter Ride: The journey started with a smooth and scenic helicopter flight. The pilot was friendly and knowledgeable, offering commentary as we soared over breathtaking landscapesâmountains, rivers, and untouched wilderness. The views from the air were simply surreal. Itâs one thing to see a river winding through a canyon on a map, but another to hover right above it. The ride felt safe, and the takeoff and landing were impressively smooth.
Jet Boat Experience: We hopped into a high-powered jet boat. What followed was an exhilarating ride through narrow gorges, over shallow rapids, and around sharp bendsâall at heart-pounding speed. Emily clearly knew the river like the back of their hand and kept us on the edge of our seats with expert maneuvers and sudden spins.
Overall: This tour is a must for thrill-seekers and nature lovers alike. The contrast between the peaceful, panoramic views from above and the intense, water-level excitement below is what makes it so special. The staff was professional and safety-conscious, and everything ran on time. Thank you...

The moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome and at ease. Their professionalism and enthusiasm set the tone for the entire experience. Our pilot JD was highly skilled and an excellent guide.
The helicopter itself was modern and comfortable, with large windows that offered amazing panoramic views. As we soared above the lush forests, majestic mountains and sparkling waterways, every moment was a feast for the eyes. The perspective from above was like nothing I've ever seen before.
Seeing them from such a unique vantage point was nothing short of magical. The entire flight was smooth and we were able to capture incredible photos and videos to remember the experience.
