Description

Context The panoramic helicopter flight over Formentor offers a unique aerial perspective of Mallorca, particularly of Cape Formentor—a rugged headland in the northern part of the island featuring dramatic cliffs and untouched beaches. This protected natural area, designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, seamlessly blends sea and mountain in a landscape of exceptional ecological value. The flight departs from Son Bonet Airfield, near Palma, and ascends to a maximum altitude of 600 meters.

The experience After a safety briefing, you’ll take off in a lightweight and agile Robinson R44 helicopter. The flight includes a close approach to Cape Formentor, where the lighthouse and sheer cliffs unfold beneath you. The salty breeze of the Mediterranean fills the air as you glide over the Sierra de Tramuntana and the bays of Alcúdia and Pollença, with their crystal-clear waters and coastal vegetation. The rhythmic sound of the rotor enhances the sensation of altitude and motion.

For whom This activity is suitable for adults and children over 2 years old who can sit safely and wear a seatbelt. Ideal for travelers interested in nature and aerial photography, as well as individuals with limited mobility, provided they meet the safety requirements. Not recommended for those with severe vertigo or fear of flying.

Local context The Formentor area is closely tied to Mallorca’s maritime heritage and sustainable tourism practices. The local community strongly values environmental protection, so flights follow strict regulations to minimize impact on wildlife and vegetation, particularly during the bird nesting season.
