A 45-minute private helicopter tour over the Great Sacandaga — the Adirondacks' great southern lake — its coves, islands, and the foothills beyond. One flight at a time, just your party in the cabin.
By booking or purchasing, you acknowledge the inherent risks of helicopter flight and agree to our Liability Waiver & Assumption of Risk.
The Great Sacandaga stretches nearly 30 miles through the southern Adirondacks — too big to take in from the ground. From the air you get the whole sweep: the open water, the wooded coves and islands, the dam at Conklingville, and the High Peaks foothills rising to the north. A relaxed, scenic 45 minutes, start to finish.
The full length of the lake and back — open water, quiet coves, and the forested shoreline, with the southern Adirondack foothills on the horizon.
A private buyout — you're never sharing the cabin with strangers. Every seat is a window seat. One flat price for your whole party.
The Robinson R-44 flies to a strict weight & balance. We ask for each passenger's weight at booking — it's a safety requirement, not a formality.
Based on total cabin weight and conditions on the day, the pilot makes the final decision on how many passengers can fly. Safety comes first, every time.
Per-flight private buyout. One flat price — split it among up to 3 passengers however you like.
The Great Sacandaga is the Adirondacks' hidden giant: a 29-mile reservoir ringed by forest, coves, and small lakeside hamlets. It's a favorite for boaters and anglers who want the water to themselves — and from a helicopter, its scale finally makes sense. A perfect flight for a first-time passenger, a special occasion, or anyone who's spent summers on this lake and wants to see it whole.
