Where do helicopter rides in Orlando depart from?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The answer to this depends very much on which tour provider you book with. Most depart from around the Downtown Orlando or Kissimmee areas. Double-check the company website or your booking details for exact departure points and times for your Orlando helicopter ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can children go on Orlando helicopter tours?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Most companies require passengers to bring a photo I.D with them, as well as their booking confirmation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I take photographs on my helicopter tour in Orlando?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Most companies will allow you to take photographs once you are inside the helicopter. That being said, selfie sticks and similar devices are generally not permitted for safety reasons. For specific rules and regulations according to your tour provider, check on their website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
