Extended Louisville Sunset Helicopter Tour

The best light Louisville gets, and long enough to stay in it. The extended evening route carries on past the downtown bridges and out along the river, so you watch the gold move across the water and the city come on underneath you rather than catching it once and turning back.

What you get

• An evening scenic helicopter flight in the Robinson R44 for two or three passengers, timed for the light
• An approximately 55-nautical-mile sightseeing route, roughly twice the standard sunset tour
• A professional pilot flying, pointing out what you are looking at
• One Cardinal Wings T-shirt with every booking
• Nothing to learn and nothing to do but enjoy it

This is a tour rather than a lesson. If you would rather take the controls yourself, look at our helicopter discovery flights instead.

The route was planned to give you the full 55-nautical-mile sightseeing experience. The pilot sets the exact track and altitude on the day based on weather, air traffic and operational requirements, so no particular landmark or view is guaranteed. Passenger capacity is subject to individual and combined passenger weights, weight and balance, weather, fuel requirements and the pilot's approval.

Golden hour books first, and the extended evening slots are the first to go. If you are planning around a specific date, ask early.

Every flight leaves from the historic Bowman Field, a few minutes from downtown Louisville and one of the oldest continually operating airfields in the country.
