Please Note
When booking a tour time; please allow yourself a 45-minute buffer from when your ship arrives and leaves. It is your responsibility to book times that work with your cruise ship.
Coastal Helicopters will try our best to accommodate parties/families in the same helicopter. However, we cannot guarantee seating as it is all based on helicopter weight and balance, as well as the other parties within the flight. This will be determined at the time of check-in once everyone on the flight has weighed in. Should your family/party be split into multiple helicopters, the landing will happen together. Please also note that lap children are NOT allowed, and each passenger must purchase a full-fare ticket.
Please report proper weights of all guests (including the weight of clothes and boots). Inputting improper weights, or selecting the wrong passenger type can lead to cancellation without refund.
Please be aware that every guest is individually weighed at our facilities.
Our Helicopters hold 6 Standard Passengers. Groups with more than 6 Standard Passengers will be split up.

Cancellations made at least 7 days prior to a scheduled tour will be refunded in full. Cancellations made 4 - 6 days prior to a scheduled tour will be charged 50%. Cancellations within 3 days of your scheduled tour will not be refunded. Any partial refunds will not include booking fees. Cancellations must be confirmed via e-mail or phone with a Coastal employee. If Coastal Helicopters cancels a flight due to weather or flight schedule delay or the cruise line cancels your sailing and we are unable to reschedule to a later time, the passenger will be refunded. Decisions to fly are at the discretion of Coastal Helicopters, Inc.
