There are few experiences that truly take your breath away, and our recent adventure with Scenic Helicopter Tours in Sevierville, Tennessee, was one of them. As travel enthusiasts always on the lookout for unique ways to experience a destination, we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to see the Great Smoky Mountains from the air. This tour was nothing short of spectacular, and we can confidently say it’s one of the best ways to take in the beauty of East Tennessee.
A Warm Welcome from an Amazing Team
From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the warm and professional staff at Scenic Helicopter Tours. They greeted us with genuine smiles and took the time to answer all of our questions. The check-in process was smooth, and safety was clearly their top priority. Our pilot was incredibly knowledgeable, explaining our route and what we could expect before we even stepped into the helicopter. It was reassuring to know we were in such experienced hands, especially with a company that has been flying over the Smokies since 1972 and holds the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence for their outstanding service.
The Thrill of Flight & Stunning Views
As the helicopter lifted off, we felt a rush of excitement. There’s something magical about the way the ground slowly drifts away, leaving you suspended in the sky with panoramic views stretching for miles. We soared over lush forests, rolling hills, and picturesque farmland before reaching Douglas Lake, one of the highlights of the tour. Seeing the shimmering blue waters beneath us, framed by the distant peaks of the Smokies, was absolutely mesmerizing.
The views just kept getting better as we climbed higher. The Great Smoky Mountains stood majestically in the distance, their peaks softened by the morning mist. From above, the scale of this breathtaking national park truly hits you. No matter how many times you’ve visited the Smokies by car or on foot, nothing compares to seeing them from the air. The perspective is completely different, and it gives you a whole new appreciation for the natural beauty of Tennessee.
Capturing the Moment
One of the best parts of the experience was the opportunity to capture stunning aerial photos. Whether you’re a professional photographer or just snapping shots with your phone, the views from the helicopter provide some of the best photo opportunities imaginable. We were able to take breathtaking shots of the lake, the winding rivers, and, of course, the mountains in the distance. Every second of the tour was Instagram-worthy, and we couldn’t wait to share the experience with our followers.
