Helicopter Rides

See the Roanoke River From the Sky

Helicopter Rides at the Black Bear Festival offer a rare opportunity to experience Plymouth and the Roanoke River from above. This aerial adventure gives visitors a “God’s Eye View” of the expansive river delta, historic downtown, and surrounding natural landscape.

Departing from 516 East Main Street, these rides provide a breathtaking perspective of one of the most unique ecosystems in the region. With over 50 miles of shoreline within just five miles of Plymouth, this is one of the best ways to truly appreciate the beauty of eastern North Carolina.
