HELI CO. New Orleans

I was surprised with a helicopter ride for my birthday. It was absolutely amazing. The staff was very nice and professional and my pilot was exactly flying skill were great. This is an experience i will never forget. The price was quite expensive because it was 200 for 15 minutes but it was definitely worth it

Had an amazing experience flying high above NOLA this morning!! I follow them on Instagram and they had a special promotion for their 1year anniversary in NOLA (HBD, BTW): $20 for a 2min ride or $35 for a 6 min ride. We added the "Adrenaline Package" for $10/pp and flew with the doors off and dipped and swerved over the Mississippi, Superdome, Crescent City Connection and Mardi Gras World!We showed up 30 min early to the Downtown NOLA Heliport, which is on the parking deck of the Superdome by Garage 6. However, you can't park in that section, bc it's contract parking only and there's no where to pull a ticket when you get to the garage kiosk. We ended up parking across Poydras and playing Human Frogger dodging cars to cross the street. Be careful. Don't forget to pay for street parking. We went ahead and paid for the max time of 2 hours and it was a good thing bc we got there early AND they were running a bit behind. It's $6.35 or peace of mind that you won't get a ticket!We climbed the stairs to the top of the garage deck and walked about halfway down the deck to the only open little staircase. There is a small building where you enter to check in. They'll weigh you with everything you will take on the chopper (purses & cell phones, etc) to make sure the combined weight is ok. 3 ppl per helicopter plus the pilot. We were just over 500 lbs between the 3 of us. They have an emergency flotation device you wear around your neck and you put it on like a back pack, and it's super fashionable. If you are flying with the doors off, they will even provide you with a rubbery phone holder lanyard you wear around your neck so your phone doesn't turn into a deadly projectile if it drops out of the chopper onto either a poor unsuspecting head below OR fall into the biggest dirty toilet bowl water that is the Mississippi River!The ride was awesome, our pilot, Brandon, was (don't forget to tip your pilot once you get back into the building-we gave $10 each, if that helps!) and the staff were super friendly & professional! So happy we have such unique experiences to add to our awesome city! This was definitely a bucket list item for me!

This is one amazing experience!!!I've lived in New Orleans my whole life and I've never seen my city like this. The view of NOLA from a helicopter is like no other and Heli Co. really makes it something special. Our pilot Eric was funny and personable. You wear head sets so you can communicate with your fellow helicopter passengers as well as the pilot while in air. Eric was cracking jokes and felt like an old friend by the time we landed!!!We were asked where we wanted to go but let Eric pick. We saw and flew over all of downtown, Bourbon Street, the GNO, Mississippi River, Jackson Square. We went out to the east over the Bywater, 9th Ward and out to Chalmette. Seeing the dilapidated Jazzland might have been one of the coolest parts... That and when Eric turned the helicopter sideways so we were looking straight at the ground from the side!!!Not a terrifying experience at all. I had a few butterflies when we first took off but the ride was smooth and I felt strapped in and safe the entire ride. I cannot wait for an excuse to give this as a gift to friends or family so I can go up again! Dying to see the city at night from the sky!!!

So I purchased this flight on Groupon and it was worth every penny. Our pilot was so friendly and informative. I felt safe and adventurous at the same time. I plan on doing this again but maybe the longer tour!

Want a different way to experience the Crescent City that doesn't involve stepping over beads and beer puddles? Get above it all and feel like a rock star with these folks. I took my first flight with Heli recently and found the entire process of booking a flight, arriving, and getting in the air a breeze. Literally, my partner and I did an adrenaline rush flight with the doors off so that we could take aerial photos of the neighborhood I grew up in. Best part of the experience was the staff. Seriously, they make you feel like a celebrity throughout the entire experience. I finally had a view of my hometown that wasn't on everyone's Instagram or tourist book. Thank you guys. I'll be back again for sure.

5 stars, hands down. I enjoyed every bit of it. Great customer service from the time my party arrived until we departed. Fun tour. I felt like Tom Selleck as magnum, p.i.!

What a great experience!!! First time on a helicopter tour, been wanting check this off my bucket list for a while. It was a super nice day sunny and warm. Clear view from the sky! Our pilot was very nice, polite, friendly made us feel comfortable. I would definitely recommend this experience.

This was such a great experience. I thought I would be so scared but felt so safe the whole time. They really walk you through everything and the time in the air felt very secure. It was beautiful to see NOLA from the sky! I will definitely be going back with my family in the future.

What an awesome experience! Our pilot/guide, Eric was fabulous. It was such a great way to see our beautiful city from a different angle. Absolutely breathtaking! Big thanks to Alex, Ed & Eric! You guys ROCK! I highly recommend this awesome experience!

the 5 stars says great but what we had was fantastic!! thank you to the staff for making our flight so enjoyable. A+ on EVERYTHING!! The pilot, the Airman and of course the Airwoman was totally super cool. best partof our trip to New Orleans. we will do this again when we come back here!! A little disappointed we didn't get to see Archie Mannings house! thanks to you all. Shari, Jane and Charles from "the golden triangle area" Mississippi
