Scottsdale, Arizona, is a destination that defines modern luxury in the desert. Known for its world-class resorts, championship golf courses, and vibrant social scene, this city blends natural beauty with high-end adventure like nowhere else. Whether you’re teeing off against the McDowell Mountains, relaxing at an award-winning spa, or taking flight over the red rock canyons of Sedona, Scottsdale offers experiences that leave a lasting impression.
And right in the heart of it all — just across the street from the iconic TPC Scottsdale — is H5 Helicopters, Scottsdale’s premier provider of luxury helicopter tours and private charter experiences. From the ground to the sky, Scottsdale is where adventure meets sophistication.
A Playground for the Luxury Traveler
Scottsdale has long been a magnet for travelers who appreciate fine living and outdoor adventure. The city’s blend of upscale amenities and rugged Sonoran beauty creates a rare balance — you can sip champagne poolside in the morning and be exploring the Grand Canyon by helicopter that same afternoon.
For luxury travelers, Scottsdale delivers at every level:
-
Five-star resorts like the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess and The Phoenician set the standard for desert hospitality.
-
Michelin-worthy dining abounds, with chefs blending local flavors and global inspiration.
-
Designer shopping at Scottsdale Fashion Square and the boutiques of Old Town cater to every taste.
-
And for those who crave a touch of adrenaline — luxury adventures like private hot air balloons, exotic car rentals, and helicopter experiences redefine what a desert getaway can be.
The Pinnacle of Golf Luxury: TPC Scottsdale and Beyond
If golf is your language, Scottsdale is your paradise. With more than 200 golf courses across the region, it’s no surprise the city is often called “The World’s Finest Golf Destination.”
At the center of it all sits TPC Scottsdale, home of the legendary WM Phoenix Open, known as “The Greatest Show on Grass.” Each February, this course becomes a global stage — a thrilling mix of championship golf and high-energy entertainment. The iconic 16th hole, surrounded by grandstands, offers one of the most unique and electric atmospheres in professional golf.
For those lucky enough to visit outside of tournament week, TPC Scottsdale’s Stadium Course and Champions Courseoffer year-round access to the same pristine fairways that the pros play. Golfers can book a tee time, enjoy lunch at Toro Latin Restaurant, and maybe even spot a few PGA players practicing nearby.
And when your round wraps up, H5 Helicopters — located just a minute away in the Scottsdale Airpark, catty-corner to TPC Scottsdale — offers an unforgettable way to continue the experience: by taking your adventure to the skies.
Taking Luxury to New Heights: Scottsdale Helicopter Adventures
While golf defines Scottsdale’s luxury on the ground, helicopter tours redefine it from above. At H5 Helicopters, guests experience the Southwest’s breathtaking beauty through private, first-class flights designed for discerning travelers.
From the moment you arrive at H5’s private hangar in the Scottsdale Airpark, you’ll feel the difference. Every detail — from the modern aircraft fleet to the personalized service — is built to deliver comfort, exclusivity, and pure exhilaration.
Here are some of the most popular luxury helicopter experiences available from Scottsdale:
1. The Grand Canyon Experience
A true bucket-list adventure.
H5’s Grand Canyon Experience is the only luxury round-trip helicopter tour from the Phoenix Valley to the Grand Canyon and back — no transfers, no buses, no crowds. The journey includes sweeping aerial views of the red rocks of Sedona, Grand Canyon, the Painted Desert, Meteor Crater and much more.
2. Sedona Red Rock Canyon Experience
For those who want beauty and adventure without going quite as far, H5’s Sedona Red Rock Canyon Experience delivers dramatic scenery in half the time. You’ll soar over sculpted red canyons, hidden valleys, and famous formations like Cathedral Rock — a perfect blend of serenity and spectacle.
Many guests pair this flight with a golf day at Troon North, turning it into the ultimate Arizona itinerary.
3. Custom Charters and Executive Transport
H5 also offers on-demand private helicopter charters for executives, VIPs, and travelers seeking fast, scenic connections across Arizona and the Southwest. Fly directly from Scottsdale to destinations like Sedona, Flagstaff, Tucson, or even private properties — all without the hassle of traffic or commercial airports.
It’s the most efficient and stylish way to experience Arizona’s beauty from above.
4. Proposal and Romance Flights
Few experiences rival a helicopter proposal high above the Arizona desert. H5’s team has crafted countless unforgettable engagements, often landing at Roosevelt Point — a secluded mountaintop overlooking dramatic canyon views.
From sunset flights to surprise landings, these moments are customized down to the finest detail.
Imagine: You and your group step out onto a private overlook just as the desert sky turns pink and gold — the helicopter waiting nearby, champagne ready.
That’s luxury storytelling.
