A hands-on pilot-for-a-day experience for guests who want more than a sightseeing flight

The Helicopter Demo Flight is a hands-on Marbella helicopter experience. Instead of only following a sightseeing route, you receive a pre-flight briefing, learn the basics of the helicopter and cockpit, then take part in a supervised flight with a certified professional pilot onboard.

Choose this for an aviation experience, a milestone gift or a premium Marbella activity with a stronger learning element than a standard scenic tour. The experience runs as a 75 to 105-minute pilot-for-a-day format for 1 to 2 persons, with no prior experience required.
