Helicopter rides are so much fun. We really enjoyed this ride and our pilot was very friendly. We purchased the cheapest flight of $50 and it was way too short. It was the shortest helicopter ride I have ever been on. I think the flight lasted no more than 12 minutes. If I were to do it again I would... More

My father and I took the largest package (their smallest starts at $49 per person, largest at a bit over $200) and the flight was absolutely incredible. The views we got of the monuments and the general area were completely unbeatable, and worth every penny. I feel like I was saying "wow" the entire time! If you've got the money,... More

Of course, helicopter rides are extremely expensive, but there are a variety of trips you can choose from, and, compared to helicopter rides in other areas, this was fairly reasonable. We took a ride over Crazy Horse Memorial, and it was a great ride. All of the... More

As a family with 2 kids in college, we were traveling on a pretty tight budget. But while eating at Big Time Pizza in Keystone, I noticed Black Hills Aerial Adventures right across the street, advertising their helicopter rides, introductory tour $49. $49 is just a flight over the Black Hills, but for $79 you could fly over Mt. Rushmore.... More

We purchased the largest package which provided an aerial tour over Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Needles Highway, Custer State Park and the Black Hills in general. The view was spectacular and the pilot provided information on the area we had not previously received on our ground tours of these same areas. The staff was very friendly and our wait was... More
