Helicopter Flights from Cannes to Nice, Monaco & Saint-Tropez

Soar above the Croisette and reach the Riviera's finest destinations in minutes.


This Cannes helicopter transfer turns what could be hours of coastal traffic into a breathtaking 12-to-15-minute scenic flight over the Lérins Islands and the Esterel mountains. A complimentary private shuttle connects your hotel in Cannes City Centre directly to Mandelieu Airport, making the entire journey seamless from door to destination.

Whether you are attending the Cannes Film Festival, spending a summer weekend on the Riviera, or simply need the fastest link to Nice Airport for a connecting flight, this service offers a practical and spectacular alternative to road travel. The French Riviera's famous coastal roads are beautiful but notoriously congested, particularly during peak season.

The Saint-Tropez option is especially compelling. Reaching the beaches of Pampelonne by road can take two hours or more in summer; by helicopter, the same journey takes 15 minutes. Monaco is equally accessible, making a glamorous evening at the Casino a realistic half-day excursion from Cannes.

All three destinations are served with the same standard of service: hotel pickup in Cannes, direct transfer to the heliport, immediate boarding, and a drop-off at the closest point to your chosen arrival location. Onward private shuttles are included upon arrival in Monaco and Saint-Tropez.
