Natal Helicopter Tours: See the City From Above

Natal, that city on Brazil’s coast, is very well known for those sun-kissed beaches and that chilled-out vibe, but, actually, have you thought about seeing it all from way up in the sky? Taking a helicopter trip might just give you a view you just will not believe. Instead of just seeing things from those usual spots, you are going to get a view that shows you what this area is all about. We are talking, really, picture-postcard stuff from that moment you lift off to the minute you land. Let’s check out a few picks to get you that view from above!

1. Ponta Negra and Coastal Views Helicopter Tour

Alright, start with Ponta Negra, like it is the jewel in Natal’s crown. Loads of visitors spend time here, right? Seeing it from up high, though? That’s another level. As that helicopter climbs, you will be looking down at that place where the shore touches the ocean, right? That Morro do Careca looks so majestic from above; the dunes stretch so far. Those city buildings kind of look amazing along that shoreline. This flight gets you right over those famous spots but brings that extra wow factor. As I was saying, this really might be just the tour to get to know Natal.

Basically, expect about 30 minutes in the air, and that gets you all of those highlights. Ponta Negra looks pretty awesome, that coastline just keeps going and going, and you get a glimpse into how Natal sits by the ocean. It’s one for the camera because, seriously, you won’t stop snapping pictures. So, that tour shows Natal off. And really well, actually. As a matter of fact, that view really hits differently.

2. Genipabu Dunes and Northern Beaches Helicopter Experience

Next up, go north of Natal to where there are the Genipabu dunes; they are kind of famous, you see. Loads of folks visit here to get their thrills on those buggy rides and just slide down those dunes. Viewing those dunes from a helicopter gives, like, this unbelievable look at nature in action. This experience, roughly about 45 minutes long, takes in not only Genipabu, and of course those striking dunes, it goes right along those Northern beaches too. So, seeing those lagoons snuggled into those dunes will make memories.

In a way, expect an experience that kind of marries adventure with pure, unadulterated scenery. Like your camera is going to be going into overdrive. Not only, but that sight of the sunlight hitting the sands, so, then reflecting that gorgeous water? Incredible. Basically, if those views could win prizes, well, those Northern Beaches ones surely would. So, seeing this place from the air gives this, a bit more magical twist to Genipabu’s dunes and those Northern Beaches. It is very good. See Prices, Availability & Reserve Now (Genipabu Dunes Views)

3. Natal City Panoramic Helicopter Flight

OK, if there is no specific attraction you’re bothered about but just that you’d like that big picture, a panoramic flight might be very good for you. That way you get that view of how everything in Natal sort of fits. Basically, a tour like this shows you not only the coast but also takes you slightly further to show those main city sites. As I was saying, this flight usually lasts for about 20 mins. Even so, in some respects it crams in some of Natal’s best bits. It’s like it’s one brilliant, really, photo opportunity after another!

More or less, expect to view some great beach landscapes while seeing things you had no clue about such as some historic architecture that pops up too. So, this option suits those after just seeing ‘Natal’ from a different point of view and not, like, zeroing in super tightly on just one or two particular hotspots. Very, this is a solid intro to everything Natal. Anyway, definitely consider it! See Prices, Availability & Reserve Now (Panoramic City Flight)

4. Fortaleza dos Reis Magos and Redinha Beach Tour from Above

OK, history nerds, have you heard about the Fortaleza dos Reis Magos? Is that right, the Three Wise Men Fortress. It is old, and is steeped in history. You get it? Basically, if that stuff excites you even just a little, very, try to view it not from ground level, but high up in a helicopter. The thing is, that coastline next to Redinha Beach has this really raw, beautiful thing going on, as well. So, taking to the skies gives this great mix of nature and those human stories. It makes it pretty amazing.

Typically, what I’m saying is the helicopter gets you closer to what those ancient explorers would see as they rocked up centuries back, like how impressive it all felt back then, and yet gives that extra cool touch. If old stones meet amazing ocean scenes sounds right to you, then, very, this could be your trip. Very good. Anyway, get booking. See Prices, Availability & Reserve Now (Reis Magos Flight)

5. Maracajaú Coral Reefs Expedition by Helicopter

Right then, have you been told of Maracajaú? Basically, this place is great because of those reefs. Lots of people visit to do some snorkeling and, just, meet the fish. So, seeing those reefs from high above adds this mad, a bit unique, layer. Anyway, the colours just blow your brain! The blues, that green… It appears surreal. Also, just a little bonus? It might just be that the helicopter trip gets you far, really, better views of sea turtles. I mean come on?

In some respects expect the unexpected since this journey is a treat for people who have a certain love of those water bits plus the reefs. Because you see how vast it all is; everything ties and that feels wonderful. Really something, I mean really something, isn’t it? It’s pretty damn wonderful! Basically, get out there to Maracajaú. Like your trip gets just that bit cooler, doesn’t it? Anyway, get booking and don’t think twice! See Prices, Availability & Reserve Now (Maracajaú Reefs Tour)
