Reserve your Mount St. Helens Helicopter Tour Here ! Come face to face with
America’s Volcano, one of nature's most magnificent miracles. Fly over the blast zone and marvel at the
volcanic devastation, elk herds, ghost forests, and growing lava dome. You could spend the entire day
hiking the Monument and not see a fraction of the sights seen on this breathtaking tour in our 4 passenger
Bell Jet Rangers. We have booked over 40,000 happy passengers for Mt. St. Helens
tours. This year there are only two helicopters to handle the tours across the entire Monument so seating
is limited. I highly recommend reserving your spot now - you can always change your reservation later if
needed if space is available. Reserve your exciting memories online now or call us at (360) 274-7750
( 10-6 PDT May-Oct) to reserve over the phone or for more info. We offer GIFT CERTIFICATES too !
LONGEST FLIGHTS - BEST VALUE ! No hidden surcharges or "Private Flight Fees"
With room for only 4 people an hour
Departing every 45 minutes, June thru August. Flights from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, weather permitting. Bell
Jet Ranger seats 4 plus the pilot. Cameras welcome. Walk-ins are welcome if space is available - Call
us at 360-274-7750 the morning or day before to confirm availability and weather. Allow 45 minutes for your
tour which flies over the devastated Toutle River Valley, over the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation Elk Reserve,
past Coldwater and Johnston Ridge and straight up past Spirit Lake to the jaws of the Crater where you’ll
have a view of America‘s only active volcano - and home to the newest Glacier in North America. Return
back over the Elk Preserve, the hummocks debris flow, the 160 ft. deep sediment flow, and experience
Nature's panoramic devastation and rebirth first hand. Our world-wide visitors frequently tell us this is the
highlight of their vacations. While the outlying forests have grown back as a verdant carpet of green much
of the 200 square miles destroyed in the blast still exhibits a lifeless appearance that caused then President
Jimmy Carter to remark "Mount St. Helens devastation makes the moon look like a golf course."

passengers do not show for a flight we will try to find a seat for you on a later flight as we can not fly with just

FAQ:
What Should I wear?
Clothing should be comfortable and casual. Bright colored clothing may cast a reflective glare on the
helicopter's windows. Suggest you bring a light Jacket or sweater.
Should I Bring a Camera?
Yes, we encourage you to take pictures. The view is absolutely breathtaking. You can open the window, we
just ask you keep the camera inside.
Is there an age limit?
Since safety is our #1 concern, we ask that children be over the age of two and wear a seat belt. We do not
allow infants to sit on laps.
How Close do we get to the Volcano ?
The flight gets you as close to the volcano as the FAA allows which is just outside the crater opening. We do
not fly over the volcano opening - you wouldn't want to fly over an active volcano !
How safe is it?
We have been offering helicopter tours of Mount St. Helens for 20 years - over 40,000 passengers - all
without a single safety incident. The industry refers to this as a "Gentle Tour" meaning slow climb rate,
hazard free, clear line-of-sight to destination and origination with no stop-overs. FAA regulated and licensed
pilots and operator.
Is there a Place to Eat Nearby?
Eco Park Resort operates a wonderful Backwoods Cafe right near the departure point. A great spot to
unwind and enjoy homemade pie while you wait for your flight. Milepost 24, Hwy 504
Can I change Tours or Upgrade?
Yes, if your group are the only ones on your tour you can upgrade to the flight of your choice. If other parties
are on your tour everyone would need to agree to the upgrade - which happens very frequently. The first
party booking a flight gets to select the tour type for that flight which is another reason to book early.
What if my plans change ?
You can change your reservation at no charge if space is available. Please notify us at least 48 hours
before Departure time to avoid a $50 cancellation fee.
What if its rainy?
We are in Washington so we do get rain at times, yes, even during the summer. If your flight cannot be
rescheduled to your satisfaction you will not be charged on your credit card - there are no deposits to refund !
Can I get a Gift Certificate ?
Yes, you can purchase a Gift Certificate right here for the price of the flight and the recipient can use it to
schedule their own departure time or you pre-schedule it for them. (Coming 6/20)
