Tyler was an amazing pilot and guide. His knowledge of the helicopter and of the area were outstanding. When air traffic control let us know we could not fly over the bone yard, he quickly changed our plans to include amazing scenery and a great ride.
We were working on my dad's "bucket list" and this was everything I had hoped it would be.
There was not one single moment when I didn't feel absolutely safe and the ride was well worth the price.

My 6 year old son and I wanted to surprise my husband with a birthday gift. A father-son helicopter ride was perfect! Booking was simple, and the response was efficient. They answered all my questions and made it easy to arrange.
They loved the helicopter flight. It was a great experience, and everyone involved was personable and made the experience fantastic. My son wants nothing but rides with them for future gifts. :)

Real talk: I've always been afraid to fly in a helicopter, never had the desire to do it. But my husband has always wanted to, and he had a milestone birthday, so I booked a flight for him, myself and our son to celebrate. I was nervous, but it was SO fun. And, honestly, the ride was so smooth, smoother than flying in an airplane. The pilot was super sweet and so was his wife through the booking process. I highly recommend doing this to celebrate a special occasion or just to do something different. It's a beautiful way to see Tucson and to create a wonderful memory.

While in town from Atlanta to tour the University of Arizona with our son, we packed all kinds of activities into our trip. We wanted to do, see, and experience everything that Tucson and the surrounding area had to offer, and we did! The helicopter tour to Mt. Lemmon was a surprise for my husband and son, and we all LOVED it!! We had never been in a helicopter before and to be honest, I was scared to death at just the thought of it but wanted to be brave for my guys. All my fears were soon put to rest as we began our tour, it was actually very relaxing and our pilot was so friendly, professional, calming, and knowledgeable. It was an experience that we'll never forget and I'm so thankful that we got to do it as a family before our son heads to college. I highly recommend this company and tour, even if you're afraid because trust me, it'll end up being one of the coolest things you've ever done. It was definitely the highlight of our trip to Tucson!

We did the Ultimate Photo Flight and we loved it! We were only in Tucson for a quick weekend getaway so it was a perfect way to see a lot of sights in a short amount of time. The helicopter was nicer than we expected, our pilot, Tyler, was super pleasant and very knowledgeable about the area, and Tasha was extremely helpful in booking our flight. My only slight negative is that the weather was cloudy and it actually rained on us a little during the flight, but this is obviously completely out of their control. Since we couldn't fly into Gates Pass because it raining there, we had a little extra time so Tyler flew us out over our resort and the surrounding area, so we ended up getting a cool, unique experience even though the weather was uncooperative. All in all I would highly recommend a tour with Volare Helicopters if you are in the area.

I surprised my husband with a helicopter ride for his Birthday!! Neither of us had ever been on a helicopter ride, or in one period. My husband was so thrown back. Tyler was soooo cool, and laid back! The scenery was stunning, and the mountains were so beautiful. Tyler was very knowledgeable about all the areas that we were viewing, and did a great job of explaining everything to us. My husband loves to take pictures, so this was simply an amazing surprise for him. We moved here from Virginia 1 year ago, and absolutely love Tucson. I am grateful that Volaire was able to give my husband a Birthday that he will more likely not forget. The helicopter is beautiful, both inside, and out. Truly an amazing experience. Don’t think twice, because you’ll miss out!!!!! Thank you.

Loved the experience. Jared was a great pilot who pointed out spots of interest we didn't recognize. We loved seeing our hiking trails and the overall vastness of the Tucson mountains. There was no sensation of speed...it felt like we were "bobbing" over the mountains and city. Would recommend for anyone who wants to see the area close-up and personal.

Such a fun way to see the Tucson landscape! We did the 7:30am tour and then drove around Saguaro National Park West afterwards - it was really cool to see it from above first. The helicopter was nice and nobody was scared and Travis was a great host!

I highly recommend Volare Helicopters. From booking the trip to meeting the pilot, through the ride and back, the Volare team was very professional, easy to work with and we had a great time flying around Tucson and the Catalina Foothills. If you are considering a helicopter ride, choose Volare, you will not be disappointed!

My wife and I spent 4 days exploring Tucson's incredible outdoor activities. Among the favorites, our 1st helicopter ride was amazing! Tyler greeted us as soon as we arrived at Ryan Airfield and within minutes we were ready to take off on an unforgettable adventure! We opted to go all-out and selected the 'The Ultimate' tour, flying thru Gates Pass, passing over our beautiful Star Pass accommodations. We then made our way over downtown Tucson and the University of Arizona. Next up was the impressive Boneyard and then we turned north past Saguaro National Park (where we chose to hike the following day) and headed for the majestic Catalina Mountains, taking in Sabino Canyon (where we'd hiked the day before). We continued up to Mt Lemmon and along the northern side of the Catalinas before returning to Ryan Airfield. Tyler was amazing, sharing his knowledge of the surrounding Tucson area all throughout our flight! We'd definitely recommend this adventure to all!
