Helicopter Tours in Sri Lanka

Helicopter tours offer the convenience, speed, and exclusivity that make them the perfect choice for travelers seeking a unique adventure in Sri Lanka. While the island can be explored by road and rail, a helicopter allows you to cover significant distances in a short time, making it possible to see multiple landmarks in just one day. With a helicopter tour, you avoid the challenges of road traffic and long travel times, providing more time to enjoy the destination itself. Furthermore, a helicopter experience offers unparalleled views and perspectives that are simply not accessible from the ground.

Our Ceylon Travel Dream helicopter tours are designed with the highest standards of comfort and safety, combining seamless organization and experienced pilots with knowledgeable guides to ensure you get the most out of your journey.

The Sigiriya Rock Fortress, often called the "Eighth Wonder of the World," is one of Sri Lanka’s most iconic landmarks. Rising almost 200 meters above the jungle, this ancient rock fortress offers an extraordinary view when seen from above. Paired with a visit to the Dambulla Cave Temple, this tour lets you witness two UNESCO World Heritage sites in a day.

As you approach Sigiriya by helicopter, you’ll see the fortress emerge from the lush greenery, showcasing the intricate ancient engineering and mesmerizing frescoes. The Dambulla Cave Temple, nestled within a rock formation, is a beautiful sight with its golden Buddha statues and colorful murals, offering another breathtaking aerial view.

For those captivated by Sri Lanka’s renowned tea industry, our Tea Country and Waterfalls Tour offers an immersive experience in the heart of the island’s picturesque hill country. As you soar over misty mountains, you’ll enjoy panoramic views of tea plantations, cascading waterfalls, and charming colonial-era towns. This tour provides a unique perspective of Sri Lanka’s highlands, where tea estates blanket the hillsides in a mosaic of green.

This tour includes stops where you can experience a guided tea tasting session at an authentic plantation, learning about the island’s famed Ceylon tea production. The waterfalls are particularly stunning, with aerial views that capture the grandeur of their multi-level cascades, creating a memorable and enchanting experience.

For a shorter, yet equally mesmerizing tour, our Colombo City and Coastal Panorama takes you along the western coast of Sri Lanka and over the city of Colombo. You’ll see the bustling city’s architectural mix of colonial and modern landmarks, from the Lotus Tower to the historic Old Parliament Building. The coastal panorama offers stunning views of the beaches and vibrant blue waters, with the urban landscape creating a striking contrast against the ocean.

This helicopter tour is ideal for travelers who want to explore the capital’s skyline and the coastal beauty within a short timeframe. Capture the essence of Sri Lanka’s urban life and beach charm in a single, visually stunning journey.

Yala National Park, one of Sri Lanka’s premier wildlife destinations, is known for its leopard population and diverse habitats. From a helicopter, the park’s vast landscape of grasslands, wetlands, and forests unfolds below, offering a unique perspective on this wildlife haven. With experienced guides and wildlife experts onboard, this tour offers insights into the habitats of Sri Lanka’s elephants, leopards, and other exotic species.

Our Yala helicopter safari can also be combined with a ground safari for a comprehensive experience, allowing you to witness the grandeur of the park from both air and land.

Our Southern Beaches and Galle Fort tour is perfect for beach lovers and history enthusiasts. Flying along the southern coastline, you’ll be treated to views of golden beaches, turquoise waters, and charming fishing villages.
