For an especially unique and exciting perspective on Savannah and the lowcountry, a helicopter tour is a great way to sightsee.
For a more budget-friendly experience, brief flights over downtown Savannah and the riverfront are available; longer trips out to Fort Jackson or to Fort Pulaski, Tybee Island or Hilton Head offer exceptional views over the marshes and barrier islands of coastal Georgia and South Carolina.
A few local companies offer tours by helicopter, and other flight-related experiences, with departures available from Hutchinson Island (across the river from downtown Savannah) and from Hilton Head Island, SC.
