Helicopters may be one of the most expensive modes of transportation in the world, but they also offer an unparalleled perspective over breathtaking landscapes — from bustling metropolises to private resort islands.

In Tokyo, MCAS offers a service where a helicopter, valued at up to ten million US dollars, can take passengers from central Tokyo to Narita Airport in just 20 minutes. Similarly, HOSHINOYA Karuizawa, a luxury villa resort in Karuizawa Town, provides flights from Tokyo or Narita Airport to the hotel, offering views where skyscrapers gradually fade away, replaced by the lush forested landscape of Mount Asama volcano.
To reach the Paradise Bay water villa resort located in the heart of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, taking a helicopter is the only option. The 50 to 90-minute flight presents the stunning turquoise hues of a tropical paradise. Luxury travel brand Recherché Journeys also offers thrill-seekers Everest helicopter tours, including low-altitude flights close to Everest and the Annapurna Base Camp.
