Helicopter Charter by the Hour
Hire a private helicopter by the hour. You choose the route and the stops. 4-seat and 6-seat classes, pilot and fuel included.

Charter a private helicopter in Bali by the hour for executives, investors and delegations: $2,300 an hour for up to 4 guests, $3,300 for up to 6. Fly airport to Ubud meeting in 13–20 min instead of a 60–90 minute drive, visit several sites in one morning, or shuttle between villa and venue. Waiting time on the ground is $300 per hour, invoices are arranged on request, and your plans stay private.
These are guide prices for one hour of helicopter time for the whole aircraft, with pilot and fuel. The exact helicopter is confirmed in the quote.
| Class | Guests | Per hour | Waiting on the ground |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4-seat class | up to 4 | $2,300 | $300 per hour |
| 6-seat class | up to 6 | $3,300 | $300 per hour |
| Two helicopters flying together | 7–8 | Two hourly rates, one per aircraft | $300 per hour per aircraft |
How part-hours are counted is written in your quote. A single point-to-point leg is often simpler as a priced transfer: see the price page and the airport transfer service.
Car times are daytime ranges that move with traffic. Air times are airborne minutes for one leg; add about 15–20 minutes at each end for boarding, briefing and shutdown.
| Leg | By car | By helicopter |
|---|---|---|
| Airport to Ubud | 60–90 min | 13–20 min |
| Airport to Kintamani | 90–120 min | 20–30 min |
| Canggu to Uluwatu | 1.25–2 hours | 10–15 min |
| Ubud to Uluwatu | 1.5–2 hours | 15–25 min |
| Airport to Nusa Dua | 20–30 min | 8–12 min |
On a short leg such as the airport to Nusa Dua a car is as quick door to door. The helicopter earns its price on long legs, on days with two or more stops, and when the road is the problem.
These four briefs make up most corporate requests. Each is planned around the landing sites first, because the sites decide whether the day works.
See plots on the Bukit, the Tabanan coast and the Kintamani hills in one morning instead of a day in traffic. A landing at a plot needs the landowner's consent and the operator's clearance, so we list each site in advance. Where a plot cannot take a helicopter, we land at a nearby approved pad and use a car for the last stretch.
A same-day shuttle from a Canggu villa to a dinner at Uluwatu takes 10–15 min in the air. For the arrival leg read about the airport helicopter transfer.
Seven or eight guests fly in two helicopters together, with one WhatsApp thread controlling both aircraft. The group flight guide explains the split.
Land at an approved venue pad with the lawn cleared and be at the door minutes later. A ground photographer ($250) and ground drone filming ($300) can be added; for the same idea at a ceremony see helicopter wedding arrivals.
An example for a dry-season day. Every landing outside an airport depends on the site owner's consent and the operator's clearance, so a multi-stop plan lists each site beforehand. The last landing must come before sunset, about 18:05 in June and 18:40 in late December.
Examples of single legs from the Ngurah Rai Airport area. A one-way price includes the helicopter's flight back, so it is close to a return.
| Destination | Distance | Air time | One-way helicopter |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ubud | 29 km | 13–20 min | from $1,300 |
| Canggu | 11 km | 8–13 min | from $800 |
| Uluwatu | 13 km | 9–14 min | from $900 |
| Nusa Dua | 9 km | 8–12 min | from $800 |
| Kintamani | 59 km | 20–30 min | from $1,900 |
| Lombok International Airport | 122 km | 35–50 min | from $3,250 |
For one place to another a point-to-point price is simplest. For several stops and waiting, hourly charter is easier to plan. We show both when it helps.
Your itinerary stays between you, us and the operator. We do not publish client names, itineraries or photos, and we share your plan only with the people who must clear each landing.
Invoices are by arrangement. Send the company name and what the invoice must show, and we agree the terms before the booking is confirmed. A deposit holds the slot, and the payment details arrive with the quote; the website takes no payment.
Every flight is operated by a licensed Indonesian air operator (AOC holder). Ask for the operator name and licence number with your quote, since many corporate travel policies need them; the guide what to ask an operator lists the questions. The pilot decides on weather, and a flight that cannot go is moved or refunded for the part not flown.
Send the policy with your request. We ask the operator what it can supply before you commit.
Date, stops in order with map pins, number of guests, rough weights and bags, and the time you must be finished.
We confirm which stops are airports or hotel pads, and which need an owner's consent. New private sites can take a few days, so ask a week ahead for them.
The quote names the aircraft class, the pads, the operator, the hourly rate and the waiting terms.
A deposit holds the slot. Send the invoice details at the same time.
A single WhatsApp thread covers pick-up, timing changes and the weather call. If a leg is stopped by weather, we move it or refund the part not flown.
Charter starts at $2,300 per hour for up to 4 guests and $3,300 per hour for up to 6. Prices are for the whole helicopter with pilot and fuel. Waiting on the ground is $300 per hour.
Yes, at $300 per hour, or it can fly away and return at a fixed time. The quote states which one you have and how many waiting hours are included.
Invoices are by arrangement. Send the company name and the details the invoice must carry, and we agree the terms before the booking is confirmed.
Only where the site is approved: an airport, a hotel pad, or private land with the owner's consent and the operator's clearance. See how landing at a villa or hotel works for the checks.
Two helicopters fly together, one 4-seat or 6-seat aircraft for each part of the group, with one schedule. The larger class costs about 1.4 times the 4-seat rate.
We share your plan only with the operator and the parties who must clear each landing. We do not publish client names or itineraries. Ask for the operator's name and licence number with the quote.
No. Flights run in daylight only, from sunrise to sunset, and the pilot decides on weather. A leg that cannot fly is moved to the next suitable slot or the part not flown is refunded. For a same-day request see urgent flights.
List your stops, guests and the time you must be finished. We reply today with the aircraft class, the pads, the operator and an hourly price.
