tour helicopter

Aerial excursion vehicle

A tour helicopter is a helicopter used for sightseeing flights, typically offering aerial views of scenic landscapes, cities, or landmarks.

Tour helicopters carry small groups of passengers on relatively short flights: We took a tour helicopter over the Grand Canyon.

They're common at tourist destinations where aerial perspective adds value—volcanoes, coastlines, urban skylines.
