Aerial Adventures with Red Hawk Aviation in South Haven Township

On the southern shore of Lake Michigan, South Haven Township offers a fresh perspective on its sweeping dunes and shoreline—courtesy of Red Hawk Aviation. This aviation outfitter elevates outdoor adventure by taking travelers above the famous Van Buren Dunes and along the sparkling lakeshore in expertly piloted aircraft. From the Van Buren Dune and Shoreline Tour to the scenic Pier and Lakeshore Tour, Red Hawk Aviation transforms traditional sightseeing into airborne excursions. Their Allegan Tours trace the contours of Southwestern Michigan’s varied landscape, giving clients a striking vantage on farmlands, forest edges, and waterways framing the Great Lakes region.

The company’s Pier to Pier Flight ventures from one iconic lakeside pier in South Haven to another, offering glimpses of lighthouses and the broad expanse of Lake Michigan’s azure waters. For aviation enthusiasts, Red Hawk Aviation also extends R44 Flight Training, an opportunity to log hours or learn the ins and outs of helicopter flight in a hands-on environment. The business holds a pivotal role in the local outdoor scene by blending aviation and nature, delivering experiences for both casual adventurers and serious flyers alike.

What sets Red Hawk Aviation apart is its ability to connect people with the landscape’s character—its wind-carved dunes, shoreline cliffs, and gently rolling inland terrain—from a pilot’s seat. South Haven Township itself stands as a gateway to Lake Michigan’s western edge with rich sedimentary formations and beaches molded over centuries by Great Lakes currents. These aerial tours reveal layers of this geography difficult to appreciate from land alone. Whether you’re circling over the Van Buren dunes or learning to command the helicopter yourself, Red Hawk Aviation offers an unforgettable dimension to regional outdoor recreation.
