007 Helicopter Private Island Escape
Imagine you, your friends or family gliding in a state of the art Jetranger helicopter, over the azure blue waters of the Caribbean,
pointing out to your private pilot, a deserted island. Like James Bond,
you ask him over your headset, to put down somewhere, and he points out
a stunning beach, fringed by tropical palms and devoid of any people.
The crystal clear waters and amazing marine life are all beckoning, but
surely a helicopter wont be able to land right there in this tranquil
cove on the beach!
He sweeps in, and checks out the area. Then, with a flurry
of
rotors he descends onto the deserted beach and lands for you disembark,
and spend your day on your very own fantasy island in total privacy and
tranquility.
Once disembarked and clear of the helicopter, it magically ascends and
the pilot bids you farewell, until your arranged pickup time later in
the day. Then its sun, sand, turquoise water, palm trees, and total and
absolute peace for the day.
Fantasy, yes, but we can arrange this unforgettable day for you and your
group. Imagine the photographs you will be taking home.
You will be picked up at your cruise ship terminal by one of your
pilots. He will take you a
short
distance to the helicopter pad, and after a briefing you will take
your comfortable seats, don your intercom headsets and after air traffic
clearance LIFT OFF!
The thrill of riding a helicopter for the first time is phenomenal; the
power and speed, not to mention the views, will take your breath away.
As you rise above Charlotte Amalie you will see your cruise ship at
anchor in the harbor below, and then you will rise further and across
the mountaintop, heading North East, whilst your pilot narrates on your
headsets.
After a 10 minute flight you will have crossed the short stretch of
Atlantic Ocean that divides St Thomas, from the uninhabited island of
Hans Lollick, where you will find one of the most spectacular white sand
beaches reserved just for you.
The
helicopter lands on the beach, and you will pre arrange your pickup with
the pilot for your return to St Thomas. Don’t worry, if you don’t have a
cellular telephone, we can provide you with one, just in case you want
to leave early or have had enough of this paradise lost (which is highly
unlikely). You will also be provided with snorkels and masks to explore
the surrounding underwater world and a small cooler with soft drinks and
bottled water.
We suggest you take a packed lunch from your cruise ship, which you can
generally pre order. You can also pre order luxury catering, champagne
(for that real Bond feel), or beer of your choice (optional extra cost).
Go on, you deserve it!
St Thomas Island Sightseeing by Helicopter
Alternatively, if you are
not feeling quite as adventurous, for the same price, you can take a
sightseeing flight of St Thomas and the surrounding US and British
Virgin Islands.
Leaving
from the airport a short 10 minute drive from your cruise terminal, you
will board your six passenger helicopter and soar up and above the
teeming streets of Charlotte Amalie. Fully narrated via headphones, your
pilot will show you points of interest below.
Heading out into the harbor area, and over the cruise ships at dock in
Havensight and Crown Bay, you will have unmatched views of your cruise
liner from the skies a 1000ft above.
Then its off over the lush tropical mountaintops and down to the
beaches, with special views of the famous Megan’s Bay, rated one of the
top ten best beaches in the world by National
Geographic.
Taking in amazing views of Jost Van Dyke, Tortolla, and the rest of the
British Virgin Islands, this trip gives a breathtaking 30 minutes of
some of the most stunningly beautiful scenery you can see anywhere in
the world, before returning you to Charlotte Amalie, with a camera full
of memories and the thrill of a lifetime.
Its time to treat you and your family to VIP experience that you will
never forget on our exhilarating helicopter trip.
