Struggling to decide whether to explore the coast on foot or from the air? It’s a well known dilemma with travellers and explorers, but with this discovery day experience you can combine the best of both worlds with a 8 mile hike on foot and a 6 mile helicopter ride over the same route in your chosen location. Take in the rolling hills and fresh air on the electronically guided hike whilst you look out for wildlife and stop to appreciate the views, and then see the same route from the air with a birds eye view as you take flight in a helicopter. Combining both sets of views, a walking experience and flight experience, this is the ideal way to see the coast and country and ideal for explorers and ramblers alike. Once you have built up your step count and enjoyed your relaxing flight, you can treat yourself to a cream tea or bubbly at your chosen venue and here you can truly indulge. If you’ve ever wanted to explore a coastal area by foot or by air, stop and appreciate nature and maybe take a stunning photograph or simply go along for the treat at the end, this is the ideal experience because it ticks so many boxes for different people. And the best thing? It’s completely customisable due to the range of locations on offer. This is your sign to get out in nature and explore the coast and country from new viewpoints as you walk and fly across the landscape (quite literally.)
