What an exciting, great day! Coastal Helicopters is an opportunity not to be missed! This was my first helicopter experience, and it was a fabulous! Larry and Stephanie were perfect hosts, explaining everything. Saw a side of the OBX that was far from the "touristy" angle. The dolphins were an added bonus! I would highly recommend Coastal Helicopter Tours to... More

After 20 years visiting the Outer Banks and Ocracoke Island Costal Helicopters gave us the opportunity to see the area from a different perspective. This was our first time in a helicopter. It was more like floating than flying. Larry knows all the sights to see and we had a great flight. Don’t miss the chance to call Larry or... More

My mom and I took my 5 year old nephew. We all loved it! Very informative and beautiful sights. Found out that Stephanie was from Pittsburgh just like us and she is an alumni of my university! More

Our pilot, Larry, was fun, knowledgeable, skillful and tailored our ride to our specific interests. Five stars....a bit pricey, but definitely worth it if you can afford it! Stephanie (the manager) was also very professional, warm and knowledgeable. We recommend it highly! More

So much fun! My four year old was in heaven and I felt like a kid again too. I was expecting it to be beautiful, but I wasn't expecting such an informative tour. We learned so many cool things about the Outer Banks and really got an amazing tour. Definitely an awesome experience and everyone who works there is so... More

It was definately a great choice. I have never flown at all before, and our pilot, Larry made me feel very comfortable, I wasn't nervous at... More

Let me start by saying this is the BEST attraction in Manteo for anyone looking for a fun experience in the Outer Banks! My girlfriend and I had a blast taking the helicopter tour of the islands and coastline with Larry, our pilot, who went above and beyond the call of duty! Of course, I must add - she's no... More

"Wow! It's the first time I've ever flown in a helicopter in my whole 7 years," exclaimed my grandson, Jack. We were a bit concerned about the noise factor, but Larry Ihle, the pilot made it fun. He made Jack co-pilot and he looked great with the headset on. Normally quite talkative, he was silent during the flight. When we... More
