The Helicopter Sightseeing Experience
The Experience Your experience will start with a ferry boat crossing to the historical Toronto Island Airport. Once you arrive at The Helicopter Company’s main Base, you will be greeted by their friendly crew who will provide you with an introduction to the experience, a safety briefing and assist you with photographs before departure. You will then board the aircraft and be lifted high over the city by jet helicopter. The experience is smooth, safe and comfortable. Sit back, relax and enjoy the panorama of the Toronto skyline.. Once in the sky, you will see everything from the historical to the ultra modern – Old Fort York, Casa Loma, Royal Ontario Museum, the Sky Dome, the CN Tower, and everything in between. With your Unforgettable Days camera you will be able to take remarkable aerial pictures of Canada’s largest city from a bird’s eye view, and capture those precious Unforgettable moments. Enjoy this Experience of a lifetime!
