The 7 Helicopter Tours in Spain That Earn Their Price

1.Barcelona Helicopter, Sailboat & Old Town Private Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,395 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $513Our pick

Start with guides such as Jimena, Carlos, Roger, Mirko, or Lucas in Barcelona’s Old Town and Passeig de Gràcia. Walk through Gaudí’s Eixample and the Gothic Quarter, transfer by boat to the heliport, take a roughly six-minute coastal helicopter flight, then finish at Port Vell.

“Walking section of the tour we took in a few sights and interesting locations but was fairly standard. Taxi then to the heliport and after alot of waiting we took our flight which was great. We then missed our scduked boat tour but we're given an open ticket. The boat tour itself was rubbish. Not really a tour as such just a ride along the coast and port with no comms. Over all I would probably separate this out yourself as guide didn't join you on the boat or the helicopter which you could book separately and there are better walking and cycling tours of the city.”

“As a local from Mallorca, I’ve seen this beautiful island in so many ways: by car, by boat, even from planes taking off… but nothing compares to seeing it from a helicopter. The perspective is absolutely breathtaking. At times, it felt like I could reach out and touch the mountains! I did the 40-minute ride and honestly… it wasn’t enough. I could’ve stayed up there forever. The colors, the coastline, the hidden spots only visible from above—it gave me a whole new appreciation for the island I call home. Special shoutout to my pilot, Anne Christine, who was a total 10! Professional, kind, and made the experience feel safe and…”

“Morthada from Sailing Experience Barcelona arranged the yacht cruise and the helicopter ride exactly as requested. He coordinated everything perfectly with me and ensured that the timings fit seamlessly with my schedule. A special mention to our yacht guide, Marcello – the “Spaghetti Captain.” He was very humorous and, at the same time, extremely knowledgeable, with 26 years of sailing experience. He made our sailing trip exciting and engaging with his stories, laughter, and expertise. The helicopter ride was both safe and fun. The view of Barcelona from above was truly mesmerizing. I would definitely recommend this experience to my friends.”
