Private Helicopter Tour from Monaco

Discover the Principality and the French Riviera from above, on a fully private flight departing from the sea.


A private helicopter tour from Monaco offers a perspective that no street-level visit can match. Your group boards exclusively, with no shared cabin and no strangers, just unobstructed views of one of the most architecturally dense and visually dramatic places on Earth.

The flight departs from the iconic Monaco Heliport, positioned right at the water's edge. The vertical take-off alone, with the Mediterranean opening beneath you and the Principality stacking upward in every direction, sets the tone for the experience ahead.

Four route options allow you to choose your scope. A 10-minute loop covers the essential landmarks of the Rock and the Casino district. Longer routes push east toward the Italian border and the ancient Roman Trophy of Augustus, or west along the coastline past Eze, Nice, Antibes, and Cannes. The full 60-minute Grand Tour reaches as far as Saint-Tropez.

The service is fully private and includes complimentary chauffeur pick-up and drop-off from any address within Monaco. A passport or valid ID is required for all passengers at boarding.

Tour Highlights

Fly over the Prince's Palace, the Cathedral, and the Rock of Monaco on the classic 10-minute Princely Loop.

Trace Port Hercules from the air and spot the mega-yachts anchored in one of the world's most exclusive harbours.

Identify the precise layout of the Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix circuit winding through the city streets below.

Soar above the Roman Trophy of Augustus at La Turbie, an ancient monument perched above the Principality with panoramic reach to Italy.

Pass over Sainte-Agnes, considered the highest coastal village in Europe, on the eastern mountain route.

Continue west over the medieval village of Eze, the bay of Villefranche, and the peninsula of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat toward Nice and Cannes.

Complimentary private chauffeur service handles pick-up and drop-off from any hotel or residence within Monaco.
