About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 156karam0 contributionsWhat a Memorable Experience!Such a great experience! We were in the Keys for spring break, and surprised our kids (12 and 7) with a helicopter tour! We all loved it! Damien was very responsive with all of my questions and is an excellent pilot and knows the area well. We saw lots of sharks in the water, which was really cool. Just a heads up, other than the pilot, the helicopter can only accommodate three passengers. Our family of four had to split up into groups of two each, but we were able to do back-to-back flights, which worked out fine (I checked out other area tours, and they were all the same, but Fly Key West had the best reviews, so that's the one we ended up selecting). We did the 30-minute Ultimate Island Experience, which I would highly recommend. Great time!Written 18 March 2024
- Hartung R0 contributionsGreat trip I would highly recommend this trip.Very friendly and professional. Knowledgeable of the area and wildlife we were seeing. Beautiful ship with headset communication.Written 7 March 2024
- leeromfin0 contributionsStunning and wonderful trip - highly recommendedWe highly recommend this company and their activities. It was our best experience in Key West. We did the 20 Minutes tour and loved every bit of it. Damian was an excellent pilot and we felt very safe with him. He was also a wonderful guide explaining to us all the diffent particularities about Key West and the sea. You must take a tour wirh them. We think it‘s excellent value for money.Written 1 January 2024
- scottlJ8145KE0 contributionsI took the 20 minute tour with my adult son - it was awesome!I felt the 10 minute flight would not show as much - the 20 minute flight gets you the island tour plus more out over the gulf/ocean. The pilot was very friendly and you knew your safety was in good hands. The copter seats two in the back and one extra in the front (I think there is an extra charge for that). For an extra charge I read they will take the doors off - but the copter has A/C so we would not have wanted that anyways. You have headphones on the whole time so you can talk to the pilot A great trip with a great view!Written 12 October 2023
- anamaryv20230 contributionsUnforgettableThe views were amazing. Was a great experience. I do really recommend everyone to have it. We did the 10-minute flight because we were skeptical but next time I will take it for more time.Written 10 October 2023

- Stay7018690 contributionsBest way to see Key WestIf you’re going to Key West, you have got to take a helicopter tour. It was fantastic. We flew for 30 minutes with the doors off and saw many sharks, rays, turtles, and dolphin. Absolutely recommend!Written 18 June 2023
- Kieglers0 contributionsGreat view on Key WestIt was a great tour with excellent views over Key West! We felt at every time very safe and enjoyed every moment! Thanks a lot, Damian!!Written 10 May 2023
- S8061BItylerl0 contributionsGreat trip!We did the 20 min key west + eco tour. Was really awesome. First time for my wife and I in a helicopter and he made it super comfortable and easy. Got a nice tour of the island and the backcountry. Highly recommend, we can't wait to go for a longer trip next time. Also just nice how easy it was to get into the hotel and walk to the check-in. No trouble. Super fast.Written 19 March 2023
- lisawF6393WN0 contributionsTIME of MY LIFEFrom booking the trip, finding the location, boarding the helicopter EVERY Thing was great!!! I WILL BE Doing this again!!! Damien was great explaining safety protocols, wildlife we could expect to see. Very relaxing experience. I don’t have alot of pictures because my cell phone died 😩Written 27 February 2023
- E5737FUcathyd0 contributionsThe best way to see the islandGreat ride, great scenery, great pilot! This will be at the top of my list when I come back to visitWritten 21 February 2023
- Experience395680 contributionsBest way to see Key WestBest way to see Key West and the waters surrounding it. I would recommend taking the hour tour as it goes by quickly. Our pilot Damien was excellent and very professional. He pointed out a lot of wildlife in the water such as sharks, stingrays, and dolphin. Overall it was a great experience and well worth the money.Written 21 February 2023
- michaelmO6423RX0 contributionsIncredibleIt was the 20 minute eco tour. Our pilot was fantastic! Friendly, knowledgeable and just a joy to fly with. The staff greeting us was friendly and customer service oriented. During the flight Damien pointed out the island gave some history and made sure we got to see the landmarks from the air. We did see some sharks no other sea life. Not any blame here for them I mean ya know wildlife isnt always cooperative. Damien did fly around doing what I feel was his best to find the sea life. Smooth take off smooth landing and just an overall great experience. I 100% without question would go again with this company.Written 15 February 2023
- AKTF11210 contributionsAMAZING EXPERIENCE!Fly-Kwy West wa quite literally one of the most amazing things I've done! I have quite a fear of heights and it was not scary at all! The pilot was amazing and gave very clear instructions. I willbe going back every time I'm in Key West! It is definitely worth it! We only did a q0 minute flight since I was unsure of how I would handle my issue with heights, but next time we will be going for longer!!! You won't regret it!!!Written 8 February 2023

Bryan was an amazing tour guide & pilot. Five stars.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We especially loved our photo moments, open door experience for my hubby, and the low sweep through the mangroves. One more item off the bucket list!!

We enjoyed our 10 minute Island tour. The check-in facility at the Key West Airport is modern, clean and accommodating. The crew were friendly and very professional. The equipment was modern, in excellent condition. It was nice to be able to talk to the pilot and other passengers on the headsets. We would recommend this activity.

Bryan was an excellent pilot & very friendly. This was our first ever helicopter ride. It was a smooth flight with absolutely gorgeous views. Bryan was very knowledgeable about about the surrounding area & answered our questions about local topics, as well as sharing information on helicopters & his flying experience. We wish we would have had longer in the sky... next time!

Drove down for the day from Miami and have to say it was an absolutely amazing experience!! Be sure to get the GoPro add-on which gives you a video of the tour and a fair few photos of your group on the ride! An experience to remember for sure :)

We had a fantastic experience flying with Mallory, we saw loads of sharks and dolphins. The views over the key and the water was simply breathtaking, colours that you just can’t describe. We did the 30 minute trip and it went in a flash but totally worth every penny and every second was amazing. The worst part was knowing where to look with views all around. Highly recommended this unique way to view Key West’s coastline!!

I booked a tour a year ago and there was a big mix up with my booking. The manager made everything right and offered to fix the problem the following year or whenever i could make it. We went back this year and took our family for the tour and the had a wonderful experience.
I highly recommend this experience when you are in Key West. it was the highlight of the trip.

We visited Key west Florida last week and this was our first helicopter tour. we booked the tour via Aviator phone customer service and luckily we were able to get the same day booking. Tour was nice, it was around 10-12 mins ride. Pilot was friendly and we got a good view of the island. There were no charges for 2 year old.
I would recommend this tour, as it gives a nice view of island and sea looks amazing.

Thank you for choosing to fly with us on your visit to Key West. Hopefully you can come back another time when your two year old is a little older so she can keep the memories. Thank you for writing us a review. :)

This is best helicopter tour company I have experienced. Typically I always book a helicopter tour, if possible, when I am on a cruise. They pick you up from your ship, and provide transportation to the airport. The airport operation runs extremely efficiently. They get you in the air on time. The Pilot is extremely knowledgeable about the history of Key West and the sights we are looking at. She even took us down low a couple of times the see sharks she had spotted. She's even humorous. Then the get you back to your ship. On time with no wait. Their pricing is a bargain. Can't ask for anything better for jaw dropping views of Key West.
