How to choose
How to Choose a Bali Helicopter Tour
Start with what you want in the photo. Cliffs and surf mean the Bukit: the 12-minute flight to the GWK statue or the 18-minute flight along Uluwatu. Green terraces and rivers mean Ubud and Tegalalang. A volcano means Mount Batur, best before cloud builds. A sea temple at sunset means Tanah Lot, and turquoise water means the strait and Nusa Penida.
Then choose the length. Twelve minutes is enough to see one landscape properly; thirty minutes lets you combine two, such as the Batur caldera and the Tegalalang terraces; sixty minutes covers the island. Because the aircraft is billed by the minute, a longer flight costs proportionally more, so decide what you cannot miss and fly that.
Finally choose the hour. Mountains and rice terraces look best from 07:00 to 10:00, before cloud builds. Coastlines and temples look best in the last hour before sunset. Read which route to choose and the best time to fly for the detail.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the best helicopter tour in Bali for a first flight?
The 18-minute Uluwatu flight at $650 gives cliffs, a temple and surf in one pass. If you want a cheaper start, the 12-minute Bukit flight is $450.
How long is a Bali helicopter tour?
From 12 minutes to about 75 minutes of flying. Plan 15–20 more minutes on the pad for the check-in, the safety briefing and shutdown.
How many people can go on one tour?
Up to 4 guests in the 4-seat class and up to 6 in the 6-seat class. The price is for the whole helicopter, not per person.
Is there a helicopter tour from Ubud?
Yes, a 12-minute river-and-rice-terraces flight from $500, with the start pad confirmed in your quote. See the Ubud tour.
What is the best time of day for a helicopter tour?
07:00–10:00 for volcanoes and terraces, and the last hour before sunset for coastlines. Flights end by sunset because sightseeing helicopters fly by day.
Can I land during a tour?
Only at an approved site, for example on a private clifftop or villa lawn arranged in advance. Standard tours do not land; see landing at a villa or hotel.
