What Can I Expect

See all the sights from the air on these helicopter rides in Sussex! These tours set off from the capital of speed itself - Goodwood. They'll take you on a whistle-stop aerial expedition around the stunning West Sussex coastline and countryside.

We have a number of different helicopter rides for you; the 10-minute Goodwood Gallop, the 20-minute Beaches & Bays Tour and the 30-minute Towers & Tall Ships itinerary.

Let's get in the starting blocks with the Goodwood Gallop. This local Sussex tour gives you wonderful bird's eye views of all those Goodwood landmarks. We're talking the racecourse, the country house, the estate, the kennels and the motor racing circuit. It's steeped in history and all looks just stunning when seen from the air.

Flying further afield, the Towers & Tall Ships will see you delving into maritime history and hovering right over some of the finest stately homes too. Cruising at around 1500ft, you'll be privy to a unique viewpoint from which to admire these incredible landmarks. As you pass over Chichester Harbour and Marina, you leave the Sussex coast behind, as your helicopter ride takes you towards Portsmouth and the iconic Spinnaker Tower. Famous vessels are all around as you look down on HMS Victory, HMS Warrior and the Mary Rose museum, before seeing the likes of Portsdown Hill forts and Uppark House from the air.

The Beaches & Bays helicopter ride will take you all over the picturesque Sussex coastline. Glance down to see boats gently jostling together in their moorings. Raise your eyes and look out across the Solent and you'll see Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight beyond. As you skirt the shoreline, peer down into inlets, coves and harbours too. You'll take in Selsey Bill on the headland of the local peninsula and Witterings Beach (a splendid stretch of sands popular with locals and tourists alike), before heading to Chichester Harbour, a marina designated one of Sussex's Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

All rides are in executive helicopters and all take off from Goodwood Aerodrome. We think these helicopter rides over Sussex offer the perfect combination of sea, sand surf and stately homes to create a very memorable airborne experience for all passengers.
