Why walk when you can Fly!
A wonderful experience, stunning views. Emilio is a very good and pleasant pilot. We were very well looked after by all of the staff, from beginning to end. We are elderly, realised we would never get to see the Tierra del Fuego, Patagonia if we didn't do the helicopter flight. It was worth every penny, an experience we will always remember. Thank you very much Ushuaia Fly With Us!
Response from the operator: Hello, how are you? Thank you very much for your comments. We are delighted to hear that you had an excellent experience with us. We hope to welcome you back again soon. Best regards from the entire Heliteam :)

Unparalleled views of the Andes
I found this company in be very professional. I was able to book at the very last minute the day beforehand. They supply transfer to and from the helicopter depot. I chose the 30 minute option, which was fantastic because it showed views of the Andes you’d never see otherwise, and landed on top of the mountain next to a beautiful hidden lake. The views were fantastic, the experience was great, highly recommend!
Response from the operator: Good afternoon, thank you very much for your comments! We are glad to hear that you had such a great experience, we hope to see you again in another occasion, greetings from all the Heliushuaia team!

Transported to and from seamlessly.
It was run smoothly, clean,safely. A little disappointed that the landing was on tundra, not glacier/ice. Perhaps this area used to be a glacier?!
Response from the operator: Good afternoon James! Thank you for your comments, hope you can enjoy again the experience with us! Have a nice day!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Helicopter Overflight - Landing in the Cordillera - A30: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ushuaia.
How much does Helicopter Overflight - Landing in the Cordillera - A30 cost?
+
Prices start at $525 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ushuaia usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Helicopter Overflight - Landing in the Cordillera - A30 take?
+
Plan for about 0.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ushuaia is not rushed.
Is Helicopter Overflight - Landing in the Cordillera - A30 worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 72 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ushuaia, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Helicopter Overflight - Landing in the Cordillera - A30?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Helicopter Overflight - Landing in the Cordillera - A30 suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Helicopter Overflight - Landing in the Cordillera - A30?
+
Around 25 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ushuaia can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ushuaia and add a light layer if any part of the 0.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Helicopter Overflight - Landing in the Cordillera - A30 start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ushuaia within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Ushuaia?
+
On Outty we rank every Ushuaia experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Vinciguerra Glacier Trekking and Premium Floe Lagoon, King Crab Route 4WD Off Road with lunch in Puerto Almanza, Tierra del Fuego National Park – Small Groups. Optional Train. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Ushuaia?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Ushuaia?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Helicopter Overflight - Landing in the Cordillera - A30?
+
Included: Helicopter ride. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Helicopter Overflight - Landing in the Cordillera - A30 include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 54 listed pickup locations in and around Ushuaia. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Helicopter Overflight - Landing in the Cordillera - A30 offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
