Flying with Scenic Helicopter Tours was our very first time in a helicopter and an absolutely thrilling experience and a memorable highlight of our trip to the Smoky Mountains.
We originally booked the Ridge Runner tour, but after talking it over and wanting to see more of the area, we decided to upgrade to the longer Wears Valley tour. It turned out to be a great decision, as the extended flight gave us a much better perspective of the beautiful Smokies and surrounding areas.
The morning of our scheduled flight, it was raining. We really appreciated that the staff gave us the option to reschedule to a later time the same day. This flexibility allowed us to enjoy the tour under much clearer skies, which meant better visibility and more spectacular views.
Our pilot, Nick, was fantastic. Not only was he experienced and professional, but he also made the flight informative and fun. He pointed out key landmarks, shared interesting facts about the area, and was happy to answer our questions during the flight.
Before takeoff, Taylor helped us capture the moment with great photos.
Our experience with Scenic Helicopter Tours exceeded expectations. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the Smokies!
Fly over one of Sevier County’s most beautiful areas…Wears Valley. This Wears Valley/ Pigeon Forge Helicopter Tours heads straight for the mountains and brings you right to the border of the National Park, which runs along the crest of Cove Mountain in Wears Valley. Just when you think you’ve seen the best of the flight, you come over a rise and catch a spectacular view of a deep valley floor surrounded by mountains all around! A very popular choice, indeed.

This was on all out bucket lists! We were so excited to go up in a helicopter. It met our expectations and more. The staff and pilot were so nice. We really enjoyed our trip!!

There was 4 of us that went for a birthday gift. The pilot was great and pointed out scenery throughout the tour. It’s worth the trip. I’m afraid of heights so I wasn’t going to go. They talked me into it and so glad they did. It was worth it.
