Helicraft is a Longueuil-based helicopter tour operator offering scenic flights across Montréal, the Montérégie region, the Eastern Townships and the Saint‑Lawrence River.
The company specializes in short sightseeing circuits, group promo packs, and curated combination experiences that pair aerial flights with land-based activities.
Flights depart from Longueuil (Saint‑Hubert) and include signature tours such as the Tour des Couleurs over Mont Saint‑Bruno and Mont Saint‑Hilaire, the Tour de la Montérégie, and dedicated routes over Lake Memphremagog and Mont Orford. Promotional packages accommodate small groups with specific options for three, four or five passengers on select circuits, including the Saint‑Laurent and Montréal city routes.
Helicraft also offers a demi‑journée package that combines a helicopter flight with a BALNEA Spa thermal experience, and limited Formula 1 race‑day flights that provide aerial views of the racetrack and surrounding landmarks. Each experience highlights regional points of interest — Olympic Stadium, Mont‑Royal, Biosphere, La Ronde, Jacques Cartier Bridge, and historic Chambly Fort — depending on the chosen route.
Pilots and operational staff adhere to applicable safety regulations and standardized flight protocols. Helicraft operates aircraft configured for sightseeing with large windows and routes planned to maximize views. Reservations are available for public departures and private charters within the service area. Booking details, exact flight durations, and weather policies are provided at the time of reservation.
