Operated by HeliBlock · Westerly, Rhode Island
Just off the southern coast of Rhode Island, Block Island offers a rugged charm that’s both serene and striking, with dramatic cliffs, sandy beaches, and a compact town that retains its maritime heritage. HeliBlock, based in Westerly, RI, has crafted an experience for those seeking a blend of aerial adventure and gourmet indulgence: the VIP Dinner With Helicopter Tour. From 5 PM to 8 PM, guests board a helicopter for a roughly 20-minute journey from Westerly to Block Island, timed perfectly to catch the sun dipping toward the horizon from the sky.
This trip is less about endurance and more about savoring the moment. As the helicopter swoops low over Block Island’s unique coastal geology—featuring steep clay cliffs and distinct coastal shrublands—passengers get a rare vantage point to scan the iconic Southeast Lighthouse perched on Mohegan Bluffs and the island’s mosaic of sandy beaches and woody terrain. Once on the ground, a driver whisks you to your restaurant of choice, where you dine on fresh local fare, perhaps seafood caught nearby or regional specialties.
What sets HeliBlock apart is the seamless integration of flight logistics, local knowledge, and a premium dining experience, offering travelers a luxurious way to connect with a beloved stretch of New England coastline. Whether for a special occasion or simply to experience Block Island in an elevated way, this combination of sunset flight and exclusive dinner captures the island’s quiet magic and rugged beauty. The tour rounds out with a smooth return flight, winding down a night that balances adrenaline and relaxation with impeccable timing.
HeliBlock’s operation from Westerly—a hub of coastal recreation—makes this package an ideal addition to a Rhode Island summer adventure, easily paired with hiking, beachcombing, or sailing. It’s a distinct way to see a classic New England island beyond the usual boat trips and ferries.
