Hands down one of the best experiences of my life. The helicopter ride was smooth, thrilling, and absolutely breathtaking from start to finish. Special shoutout to our pilot- Varija Shah, she was incredible. Not only did she fly with absolute confidence and precision, but she also made the whole experience feel safe, comfortable, and fun.
The helicopter itself was in great condition, spotless, and clearly well-maintained, which made the entire ride even more enjoyable. If you’re considering doing this, don’t think twice, this is an experience you’ll remember forever!!
I had an incredible time on my helicopter tour in Charleston! From start to finish, everything was smooth, fun, and absolutely worth it. Our pilot, Varija shah, made the whole experience even better she was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel completely safe the entire time.
The views of Charleston from above were unreal, and Varija pointed out landmarks, shared interesting facts, and made sure we got the best angles for photos.
If you’re visiting Charleston or even if you live here, I highly recommend taking this helicopter tour. It’s one of the most unique and memorable things you can do!
We had such a great experience from beginning to end! Dakodah was an amazing pilot and pointed out a number of landmarks along the way, making sure the helicopter was perfectly positioned for some great pictures. If you are visiting Charleston, or live here year-round, there’s no better way to see the city!
As a fixed-wing pilot, I thought I knew my way around the skies. But when it comes to helicopters, I admit I’m as clueless as a seagull in a wind tunnel. Enter Fly In Helicopters of Charleston—and specifically, Olive, our rockstar pilot, who gave my son and me an unforgettable experience.
From the moment we arrived, Olive’s professionalism and skill were clear. Not only did she treat us to a stunning sightseeing tour of Charleston, but she also turned it into an aviation masterclass for my 13-year-old son, Landon, who dreams of becoming a pilot himself. Olive, a commercial helicopter pilot and flight instructor, immediately took Landon under her (ahem) rotor blade and shared her wealth of knowledge about helicopter operations.
Her passion for flying and teaching was contagious, and it was obvious she loves what she does. Landon walked away more inspired than ever, and I walked away wondering if I should finally try my hand at rotary-wing flight.
If you’re considering a helicopter tour (or just want to meet one of the most talented and personable pilots around), do yourself a favor and book with Fly In Helicopters—and ask for Olive. She’s a marvel in the air and a gift to aspiring aviators everywhere.
Thank you, Olive, for a truly remarkable experience! Fly In Helicopters, you’ve got a gem of a pilot.
Fantastic experience! My family and especially my 12 year old made a core memory. She couldn't stop smiling and bragging about her experience even after we left Charleston. Yes it's a short flight but the view and the memory is worth it. Both the pilot and the boss lady were very pleasant, knowledgeable, and funny. I highly recommend this to your to-do list if you visit the Naval museum area. Thank you!
