Did this on my second trip to St Lucia... After the hour and a half by road... 10 mins in a helicopter is a dream!! Awesome views... Pilot very informative and great value for money. Would definitely use this method of transport again More

Having heard about the 1 1/2 to 2 hour taxi / minibus journey from Hewanorra international airport to our resort near Castries in the north, I splashed out on the helicopter transfer, and it was definitely a luxury worth paying for. Once into the six-seater helicopter, you get headphones and a commentary from the pilot (Paul, an ex-pat Brit) as... More

This was definitely the way to travel to Sandals Grande in Saint Lucia. The transfer is relatively easy. When your flight arrives in Saint Lucia you go through customs then are ushered through the doors, after getting your luggage, to the helicopter desk to sign in, you then go and wait in the air conditioned Sandals lounge with a cocktail...

If you are making the trek from the main airport to the north end of the island, it will take you an hour and a half by road. If you get car sick, it can be a harrowing experience. We took a helicopter from the airport to get to the Windjammer resort. What a breathtaking experience. St Lucia is an... More

We used this to get between the southern airport and the northern and was well worth it. Great views you can't match anywhere else on the island. The pilot was very friendly with all aboard. Would definitely do this again as we drove the long hour and half on the way back compared to the 10-15 minutes in the helicopter. More

This was a great way to end a great vacation, and worth the cost for the short trip. We had amazing views, and it was a comfortable and quick way to get to the airport after a relaxing week vacation, much better than taking the shuttle on the winding roads before traveling all day. We were advised by our hotel... More

We used the St. Lucia Helicopters again for our most recent trip to St. Lucia. They are so nice to work with. We had done the transfer from UVF (Southern airport) to Vigie Field to get to our resort. Thankfully one of the couples with us had a camera handy and took pictures of the amazing and colorful double rainbow.... More

My friend and I have traveled to St. Lucia twice in the last couple years and each time have taken the helicopter to the northern part of the country. The professionalism, safety, and sightseeing have been great each time. My only snafu was initially one of my own making: in hurrying to the helicopter for our return to the main... More

We booked the helicopter transfer option through our tour operator as an alternative to the 1hr 30min transfer between UVF and The BodyHoliday at LeSport - it was worth every penny. Views are spectacular, the staff are extremely efficient and it takes around 10 minutes to get from one end of the island to the other. More
