The Detroit Big D ride offers our most encompassing aerial experience, providing an in-depth exploration of Detroit and its surroundings that you won’t find anywhere else. The adventure begins as you ascend into the skies and are greeted with an unrivaled view of downtown Detroit. You’ll witness the glittering casinos, the historical Campus Martius at city center, and the iconic GM Renaissance Center, a towering emblem of Detroit’s automotive legacy.

Your helicopter provides a privileged perspective to admire the island’s natural beauty and its historic treasures. From the lush botanical gardens at the Belle Isle Conservatory to the captivating James Scott Memorial Fountain, every detail is brought to life from above.

Continuing on, the Detroit Big D ride extends to St. Clair Shores and Grosse Pointe Shores. These charming waterfront communities are celebrated for their tranquil environments and picturesque landscapes. It’s an opportunity to appreciate the residential facet of the Detroit metropolitan area, where the allure of nature harmoniously coexists with the vibrancy of urban life.

As your helicopter gracefully returns to the airport, you’ll leave with a newfound perspective on the vast and diverse landscapes that make up Metro Detroit and its surrounding regions. This is not just a helicopter excursion; it’s an immersive journey that allows you to discover and appreciate the richness of Detroit and its neighboring areas from an entirely new angle.
