Whether a helicopter ride has been on your list of things to do for years, or whether you’re a seasoned veteran, a scenic trip high above the Grand Strand is a great way to spice up your vacation. With 40 years of accident-free experience, OceanFront Helicopters has been taking vacationers and locals up in the air and out over the ocean safely and in style. Adventurers can choose from several different flight options, from a 2-minute Intro Trip to a longer flight up to the North Carolina-South Carolina border, passing all of the iconic Myrtle Beach landmarks, including the Myrtle Beach Skywheel, Family Kingdom Amusement Park and all of the resorts lining the coast. All of the pilots are commercially rated and use gentle turns during the flight. As their website says, “This is a professional scenic tour, not a thrill ride.” Each flight has a two-person minimum, and reservations are accepted but not necessary. No special attire is required, bring a camera and enjoy the ride.
