The Most-Photographed Half-Hour in the Northeast

Daily sunset helicopter tours over Lake George, the islands, and the High Peaks. One flight per evening. Book early.

The 30 minutes that matter

Lake George at golden hour

Photographers, couples, anniversaries, proposals, milestone birthdays. The sunset slot books out first every week — sometimes 7 to 14 days ahead. Reserve early; weather cancellations rebook free.

One flight per evening

We fly a single sunset slot per night — the one that lands you over the lake exactly as the sun crests the western ridges. No assembly-line tours.

Up to 3 passengers

Private buyout. Whoever's flying with you isn't sharing the helicopter with strangers. Window seat for everyone.

Photographer-friendly

Doors-off available with prior notice for serious photographers. Standard cabin offers a clean window angle from every seat.

Special-occasion package

Champagne staged at the hangar before takeoff, post-flight photo, optional certificate. Tell us what you're celebrating at booking.
