Palm Beach Helicopters beguiles passengers with aerial sand- and seascapes during helicopter tours operated by Aircoastal Helicopters, Inc. Appoint one to three trip buddies and clamber into your hovercraft to explore the untamed firmament from the cabin of a three-passenger Robinson R44, a four-passenger Bell 206 Jet Ranger, or a single-passenger carrier pigeon. The 15-minute tour flits travelers along sun-smooched beaches and past striking sights such as Manalapan and Lake Worth Pier. Atmospheric commuters can also enjoy birds-eye views of ritzy mansions, Worth Avenue, and the giant shovel and pail used to construct each island. Groupon holders can upgrade to the 30-minute tour for an additional fee ($200 for two passengers; $250 for four passengers), enjoying supplementary sites such as the Kennedy Estate and the hypoallergenic Peanut Island.
