Description
Flying Dog Helicopters, based on Islamorada, in the beautiful Florida Keys, provide unique helicopter sightseeing experiences in a float-equipped 2006 Robinson R44 Clipper I.
Enjoy a birds eye view of the beautiful reefs and beaches below as you fly over the Florida Keys.
As we are float equipped we can land on the water and float over a reef, fly along the beach, or explore seldom seen areas of the "back country".
Come visit our beachfront base at Holiday Isle Beach Resorts and Marina located in Islamorada, Florida (www.holidayisle.com).
We offer a range of tours up to 150 minutes in length.
