When you're on the Isle of Wight, make sure not to miss the exciting opportunity to take a helicopter ride. Whether you're a local or a visitor, there's nothing quite like the thrill of seeing the island from the air. The helicopter tours depart from the picturesque Sandown Airport, offering a unique perspective of the Isle of Wight, you'll be perfectly situated for a breathtaking helicopter tour of the island. The airport itself is a popular tourist attraction, with a variety of events, abundant flying opportunities, and a delightful on-site Bistro. Once airborne, you'll enjoy a continuous array of stunning sights. Despite its relatively small size (13 miles from Cowes to St Catherines and 23 miles from east to west), the 30-minute helicopter tours cover much ground. The extended Isle of Wight tour lasts for 30 minutes. It covers approximately 55 miles, offering views of everything from the towns of Sandown and Shanklin to the ports, harbours, waterfalls, gardens, and vineyards. Highlights of the longer tour include the Cow and the Calf lighthouses at St Catherine's Point and the magnificent Osborne House. This opulent Italianate villa was the beloved summer home of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. As Queen Victoria herself once said, it's 'impossible to imagine a prettier spot'.
