So, you’re dreaming of seeing Bali from above? I recently looked into the 20-minute GWK-Uluwatu helicopter tour, and let me tell you, it packs a punch. Starting at IDR 4,490,000 per seat, this particular route kicks off from Nusa Dua. It’s a fantastic way to get a bird’s-eye view of some truly iconic spots. We’re talking Uluwatu Temple, with its dramatic cliffside perch, the stunning sands of Dreamland Beach, Melasti Beach, and Pandawa Beach. And of course, you’ll get an incredible perspective of the massive GWK statue. It’s a lot to take in during 20 minutes, but absolutely breathtaking.
Beyond the 20-Minute Whirlwind
While that 20-minute GWK-Uluwatu tour is a great introduction, if you’re serious about seeing Bali from the sky, a 30-60 minute flight is often recommended. That’s when you can truly appreciate both the northern and southern coastlines, even catching a glimpse of the majestic Mount Agung. For example, the flight from Nusa Dua often crosses the Badung Straits, offering a chance to spot Manta Rays off the coast of Nusa Penida – a truly unique experience. The northern route, in particular, is known for spotting marine life near Nusa Penida and offers incredible views along Uluwatu’s limestone cliffs, with Mount Agung looming in the background. If you opt for the extended southern route, you’re looking at vistas of Mount Batur volcano, Kintamani Lake, the lush Jatiluwih Rice Fields, and even the iconic Tanah Lot temple. Helicopter land-in add-ons are also available, including convenient pickup and drop-off, pre-arranged picnics, hiking opportunities, and optional landings along your route if you want to explore more intimately. Keep an eye out for deals too; Fly Bali, for instance, sometimes offers 10% off private helicopter experiences for long weekends in Bali.
