Helicopter Tour · Montréal
How to choose
All 3 tours depart from the same Saint-Hubert helipad (operated by Hélicraft) and run 1.5h each, with no physical requirements. The difference is purely what you fly over. At 122.61 $ CAD, the St. Lawrence flight is the entry point: wide river views, islands and bridges from above. At 166.01 $ CAD, the Montréal city tour swaps the waterway for the urban skyline, downtown density and landmarks. At 180.55 $ CAD, the Quebec forests option pushes farthest from the city, trading concrete for vast boreal canopy. Pick the St. Lawrence tour to maximize the sensation of open space. Go for the forests route if sheer wilderness scale is what you're after.

Practical info
Equipment
Dress in layers: helicopter cabins can run cold at altitude regardless of ground temperature. Bring a small bag if you want to carry a camera, but keep it light since storage space is limited during the 1.5h flight.
Getting there
All three tours depart from Saint-Hubert Airport at 6500 chemin de la Savane, roughly 20 km southeast of downtown Montréal, accessible by car or taxi in under 30 minutes from the city center.
