See Cap Cana’s marina, the fishing village of Cabeza de Toro, and Bávaro’s white-sand beaches from a helicopter — an 85-minute coastal flight that pairs striking aerial vistas with on-board narration and small-group seating.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step onto the helipad with the ocean in your peripheral vision — the rotor wash tastes of salt and sun. In minutes the island below rearranges itself: a patchwork of aqua shallows, the engineered curves of Cap Cana Marina, and villas that seem to float above palm shadows. The helicopter climbs, and the shorelines of Bávaro and Cabeza de Toro unfurl, reefs teasing the surface like raised seams.

Book morning light
Schedule the earliest flight possible for the calmest air and the best soft light for photos.
Declare passenger weight
Provide accurate weights when booking — helicopters have strict weight/balance limits and may refuse boarding if not disclosed.
Secure loose items
Use straps or pockets for cameras and phones; rotor wash and sudden maneuvers can send small items flying.
Prepare for motion sensitivity
If you’re prone to motion sickness, take preventive medicine and sit facing forward to minimize discomfort.
Sun-protective sunglasses
Reduces glare on takeoff and makes coastal views clearer for photography.
