Helicopter tour in Santiago
All the experience from the purchase, to the service and support of the company when contacting us days before the tour to pass information were incredible, the tour then not even talk! Very kind and careful! We indicate too much.

Great all around experience with a wonderful team!
As one in the aviation sector, I can attest to the safety and proper communication with passengers carried out by the flight crew. Flying around Santiago and the outskirts was a memorable experience! You have the option of having your unique flight experience recorded from several angles on the aircraft, including a phenomenal photographer on board. Captain Christina is a great pilot (which includes being an excellent communicator) and Daniel who handles the pickup and photography are just amazing! Highly recommend booking your flight session with GEMS =)

Private Helicopter Tour above Santiago with hotel transport: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santiago.
How much does Private Helicopter Tour above Santiago with hotel transport cost?
+
Prices start at $473 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Santiago usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Helicopter Tour above Santiago with hotel transport take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 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 Santiago is not rushed.
Is Private Helicopter Tour above Santiago with hotel transport worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Santiago, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Helicopter Tour above Santiago with hotel transport?
+
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 Private Helicopter Tour above Santiago with hotel transport suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Helicopter Tour above Santiago with hotel transport?
+
Around 1 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 Santiago 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 Santiago and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Helicopter Tour above Santiago with hotel transport 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 Santiago 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 Santiago?
+
On Outty we rank every Santiago experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Maipo Valley Wine Region: 4 Wineries, Tastings & Foodie Tour, Valparaiso Port and Viña del Mar with Casablanca Wine Tasting, Tour to Valparaíso, Viña del Mar, Pablo Neruda Museum and Vineyard. 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 Santiago?
+
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 Santiago?
+
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 Private Helicopter Tour above Santiago with hotel transport?
+
Included: Private transportation; Bottled water; On-board WiFi; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Private Helicopter Tour above Santiago with hotel transport include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 275 listed pickup locations in and around Santiago. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Private Helicopter Tour above Santiago with hotel transport offered in?
+
It is offered in Portuguese, English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private Helicopter Tour above Santiago with hotel transport?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
