Over Port Everglades by Helicopter, Then South to Miami Beach
A 35-minute helicopter loop from Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport, down the shoreline to Miami Beach and back.
Keen Fly flies this route from its hangar at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport. The listing sells it as a 35-minute flight, and the operator's rate card puts it at 30 to 35 minutes.
The operator's route note runs from Fort Lauderdale and Port Everglades south past Dania, Hollywood, Hallandale and Sunny Isles, over the Haulover sandbar and Bal Harbour to Miami Beach, then back to the airport. Headsets come with the fare, and the operator gives its tours in English and Spanish.
The booking calendar lists departures every half hour from 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM, and one booking takes up to three people. The listing only accepts a booking with at least two travelers in its 25 to 63 age band. A solo traveler cannot book it here, and neither can a pair where one or both people are under 25 or over 63.
The listing prices it from USD 245 per person. It adds an airport fee of USD 35 per passenger, paid to Keen Fly directly, and tips are extra.

The listing's itinerary sends the helicopter over downtown Fort Lauderdale and Port Everglades on its way to the shoreline, with Fort Lauderdale Beach and Las Olas named along this stretch. In the operator's own description, the boats, cruise ships and cargo ships around the port can all be seen at once.
South Over the Haulover Sandbar to Miami Beach
South of the port, the itinerary follows the beaches from Hollywood to Sunny Isles. It then crosses from the shoreline into the bay over the Haulover sandbar, passes Bal Harbour and North Miami Beach, and reaches the hotels, towers and waterfront houses of Miami Beach before the turn for home. A traveler who flew with their sister in 2025 wrote that the pilot took them over the city side on the way down and headed back up over the ocean, and that "you don’t get to really experience the same view as the person next to you." The operator suggests watching the water for dolphins and manatees along the way.
Who Sits Where, and the Weight Rule
A flight is not private by default. The operator does not guarantee a window for every passenger, and it only promises seats together on a flight booked as private. Its tour page lists up to three passengers per flight; the rate card in its booking system says up to four.
The operator's limit is 280 pounds per passenger, and 300 pounds is the ceiling with a paid comfort seat. Between 280 and 300 pounds that seat is required for aircraft balance, priced at USD 50 extra on the operator's tour page and FAQ, though one line in its booking system gives the charge as half the fare. The whole group's weight has to stay within 750 pounds.
Children can fly from age 2, and anyone under 16 has to be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. The operator lists the flight as wheelchair and stroller accessible and does not recommend it for travelers with heart problems or other serious medical conditions.
The Paperwork That Can Ground a Flight
Every passenger has to submit the operator's emailed online waiver at least 48 hours before the flight time, or immediately for a same-day or next-day booking. The operator says that if it is not received on time, the tour is cancelled with no refund. Its booking notes also ask each passenger to watch a safety briefing video before arriving.
Bring a government-issued photo ID. The tour page requires one for everyone 18 and older, and the general FAQ asks it of all passengers. Pockets should be empty: bags, hats and caps, selfie sticks, food and drinks are on the operator's list of things to leave behind.

The listing's directions: driving west on Commercial Boulevard, turn right at the NW 15th Avenue light, take the first left, turn right at the stop sign, go left at the roundabout and park on the right. The operator says parking outside its building is free. Traveler reviews from 2021 and 2022 warn that GPS can leave you a couple of blocks off, and one pair was dropped by a rideshare at the locked rear of the airport; ask to be let out at the front of Keen Fly.
Arrive 15 minutes before departure; the operator counts anyone not there at the scheduled time as a no-show. It also reserves the right to delay or reschedule for weather, maintenance, FAA inspections or a temporary flight restriction.

After that, the flight itself is the run down the coast to Miami Beach and back.
