What Can I Expect
Thrilling helicopter rides in South Wales to explore the gorgeous Gower Peninsula from the air! Our 10, 20 and 30-minute sightseeing flights take off from Swansea Airport, located on the edge of the Gower National Landscape.
The airport is known as the gateway to Gower, as it is superbly placed for discovering this famous area of Welsh coastline and countryside.
Exploring this 70 square mile peninsula on foot would be fantastic, but it'd take you forever. That's why this long-established helicopter tour operator based in South Wales decided to add the Gower Peninsula (or Penrhyn Gwyr in Welsh) to their selection of itineraries.
By helicopter, it takes just a few minutes to reach the Gower coast. Cue the secluded bays, spectacular beaches and landmarks such as lighthouses and castles.
In essence, every which way you look from your heli, you're in for a visual treat. From Rhossili Bay in the west to Mumbles Head in the south, the peninsula is packed to the gills with beaches, bays, hidden coves, dramatic coastline and loads more.
As you can probably tell, this whole area is particularly photogenic, so we'd highly recommend bringing a camera with you for your helicopter rides over South Wales's superb Gower Peninsula.
Of course, flight paths will vary depending on whether you take the 10, 20 or 30 minute option and the weather, but each helicopter tour over South Wales offers plentiful aerial sightseeing of this stunning part of the world!
