We did this on our honeymoon. I mean, if you are on honeymoon, don't be cheap. It only happens once (well, it is only SUPPOSED to happen once.) You will love the trip.
My son and I have taken several rides, from the shorter, to the 30-40 minutes tours. Each one has been wonderful, the views are really neat, the heli's are a great way to see the area, and super fun too! The price is high, but two weeks later you have to admit to yourselve that you would have rather done the ride and have the memories for ...

Awesome! Value-additon to a Smokies-visit!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/27/07
Would absolutely come back next time we're in the neighbourhood! My 8-year old boy loved it & got a front seat. They were very courteous & professional. Definitely made our visit to the smokies memorable & we can now say "I flew over the Smokies" like their tag-line! I know its a tad pricey, but its an awesome experience! Would recommend it.
I thought Smokey Mountain Helicopters were very professional. The ride wasn't long, but the experience was well worth it. I'm taking my teens up with me this year in the end of June. If you visit the Smokies this is a must. Steve
Love these rides will plan to do it again.... It is well worth the money.. Kids love these rides too. My son did....Best time to visit would be fall to catch all of the colors the season would have to offer...the overall experience was just an awesome feeling. Gives you a since of being able to fly....

Very Memorable
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/13/06
The ride was very memorable. Great way to see the whole area, including some of the mountains. But, thank goodness we took a video of the ride because it was 72.00 dollars for an 18 minute ride. Probably worth it though. It's a lot of fun, but get ready to reach deep into those pockets for this one.

Great Experience
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/18/06
All of the employees were very friendly and my boyfriend and I thought it was a great value for the low price; for 4 minutes we paid $30/$15 apiece. If you want the experience of being in a helicopter then this is a great place to go.
I must say this is pricey for such a short trip, plus if u want headphones to talk to the pilot its $5 each. My wife and I went on the 24 minute tour(foothills tour i think) and we loved it. The $10 tour is something good for children to go on with you. Its just a 3-5 minute ride though. None-the-less a memorable experience.
