A €78 Helicopter Ride Over Monaco That Feels Priceles

by Mariam Sebua

For the price of a dinner or a dress you might forget, you can see the Riviera the way the sea sees it – quiet, shimmering, and unfolding all at once.

It’s not quite “budget,” no. But it’s a rare experience that feels worth every euro, and then some.

What It Costs, What You’ll See

  • From €78 per person (shared flight)
  • 10-minute flight with Héli Air Monaco
  • Route: Monaco → Roquebrune → Menton → Sainte-Agnès → back again

You lift off gently. The city shrinks. The coastline bends. And for a few minutes, the Principality becomes something delicate and distant – like a memory you haven’t had yet.

Why It Might Be Worth It

There are other ways to spend €78 in Monaco. A beautiful lunch. A spa hour. A round of cocktails with a view. But none of those will give you this feeling – this lightness, this sense of scale.

It’s a splurge, yes. But a thoughtful one. A way to see the Riviera not as a backdrop, but as something breathing and alive beneath you.

Perfect if it’s your first time here. Even better if it isn’t.

A Few Quiet Tips

  • Choose the shared flight. It keeps the price accessible without losing the intimacy.
  • Book morning or late afternoon. That’s when the light turns soft and everything glows.
  • Dress how you’d like to remember it. Comfortable, elegant, a little undone.

And You?

Have you seen Monaco from above?

Was it a celebration, a whim, or something in between?

If you’ve taken this flight – or dream of it – I’d love to hear how the view made you feel. Not just what you saw, but what stayed with you after landing.

FAQ - What People Want To Know

Is it really just €78? Or is that just the starting price?

It’s the real price – for a shared 10-minute flight with Héli Air Monaco. Of course, private flights or longer routes cost more. But for this short panoramic ride, €78 is all you need. And honestly? For what you see from the sky, it feels quietly generous.

More than you think. The moment the helicopter lifts, the world changes. You don’t need an hour – just enough time for the city to pull away and the sea to stretch out under you. The flight ends, but the feeling stays longer.

It’s not required, but it’s better. These flights are popular during summer weekends and big events. If you have a time or light you’re hoping for – morning glow, golden hour – book ahead. It gives you space to enjoy it without rushing. 

Yes. It’s Monaco. The aircraft is sleek, the staff professional, and everything runs with quiet precision. But if you’ve never flown in a helicopter before, it’s normal to feel a flutter of nerves. Once you’re up there, the beauty tends to replace the fear.

Possibly. Shared flights usually mean four or five passengers. But the seats are arranged so that everyone gets a view. And in the air, people tend to fall quiet. You’re not so much flying with strangers – you’re just all watching the same horizon.

Absolutely. Just hold your phone steady and let the coastline speak for itself. Most people do. Just don’t spend the whole time framing shots. There’s something about seeing the curve of the Riviera in real time that no photo can quite catch. 

Whatever feels like you – just a little more polished. A dress that won’t flap, a shirt that feels clean and calm. You’ll want to feel comfortable, but also a little composed. It’s not about dressing up. It’s about remembering the feeling later.

It’s rare, but it happens. If you’re sensitive to movement, try for a morning flight – when the air tends to be smoother. And don’t overthink it. The ride is gentle, and short enough that even a slight unease usually passes quickly.

Yes, if you both book the same flight time. You won’t be seated far apart. And afterwards, you’ll have something beautiful to share – something you both saw, quietly, from above.
