Private Helicopter Tour from Cannes Croisette
Soar above the Riviera's most iconic coastlines on a fully private flight tailored to your pace.
A private helicopter tour from Cannes offers one of the most dramatic aerial perspectives available on the French Riviera, taking guests from the glamour of La Croisette over some of the Mediterranean's most celebrated natural and cultural landmarks. Flight zones range from 12 to 60 minutes, making this experience accessible to both first-time flyers and seasoned aerial travelers. Each route is designed to deliver maximum visual impact within the chosen duration.
Departing directly from the Cannes heliport, the aircraft climbs quickly to reveal the full sweep of the Riviera coastline. Passengers can observe the superyachts moored in the bay, the Palais des Festivals, and the distinctive turquoise waters surrounding the Lérins Islands within the first few minutes of flight.
Longer durations unlock increasingly remote and spectacular terrain. The Massif de l'Estérel, with its red volcanic cliffs descending into the sea, provides a striking contrast to the typical blue-and-white Riviera palette. The 60-minute canyon option ventures inland to the Gorges du Verdon, widely regarded as one of the most impressive canyon landscapes in Europe.
All flights are conducted privately, meaning the aircraft is reserved exclusively for your group. This format allows for a more relaxed pace, greater flexibility in pointing out landmarks, and a more personal connection with the scenery below.

Flight Itinerary
The flight begins at the Cannes heliport adjacent to La Croisette. The aircraft climbs over the bay, offering immediate views of the Palais des Festivals and the coastline below.
Flying over Boulevard de la Croisette and the anchored superyachts, the route continues to the Lérins Islands. Sainte-Marguerite and Saint-Honorat appear below with their distinctive lagoon and dense pine forests.
Heading west past Juan-les-Pins and Théoule-sur-Mer, the helicopter reaches the Estérel massif. The red volcanic cliffs meeting the deep blue sea form one of the most photographed landscapes on the Riviera.
On the Grand Coast option, the route extends to the Gulf of Saint-Tropez and the village of Grimaud. The protected wild beaches of Cap Camarat and Cap Taillat are visible from above in their natural state.
The Canyon route leaves the coast to fly over the Provence backcountry. The Gorges du Verdon, Europe's deepest canyon, and the emerald-green Lake of Sainte-Croix are the focal points of this inland segment.
