Lake Travis Helicopter Tour
This approximately 81-mile route is Austin Heli Tours' broad Lake Travis sightseeing experience, traveling from Downtown Austin to Lake Travis and Lake Georgetown with city, river, lake, and Hill Country scenery in one flight.
The planned route begins with Austin's skyline and Auditorium Shores before passing Mt. Bonnell and following the Colorado River toward Pennybacker Bridge. It then continues across the Texas Hill Country and Lake Travis, where guests may see hidden coves, waterfront homes, cliffs, The Oasis, Mansfield Dam, Starnes Island, and Volente Beach before continuing toward Lake Georgetown.
The combination of urban landmarks, rolling hills, winding shoreline, and two lakes makes this the strongest Austin Heli Tours option for broad sightseeing and aerial photography. Exact routing can change because of weather and flight conditions.
What makes the Lake Travis route different
Lake Travis is known for its long, irregular shoreline, clear water, coves, cliffs, marinas, and waterfront communities. The helicopter route makes it possible to understand the lake's scale without spending hours traveling between overlooks and shoreline stops.
The flight also contrasts Downtown Austin's dense skyline with the open Hill Country and the quieter landscape around Lake Georgetown, giving photographers and first-time visitors a varied set of views in one uninterrupted trip.
