North Carolina Home To One Of The Top Helicopter Tours

Lots of people love things that cause an adrenaline rush! Recently a friend of mine went skydiving for his birthday and loved it. Personally, I'm a bit more reserved. Rollercoasters, bungee jumping, and stuff like that aren't my thing. But I think riding in a helicopter would be cool! I've been on a hot air balloon ride and loved it, so I think I'd like a helicopter.

USA Today has a list of the 'Best Helicopter Tours for 2022' and one of the locations is in North Carolina. How amazing would it be to see the lights of Las Vegas or the Grand Canyon from the air? And it'd be awesome to see the ocean from above! Years ago I went parasailing at the beach and it was wild! I was ridiculously nervous, and my hands were all sweaty, but I'm glad I did it. The water is beautiful from above.
