World's Coolest Helicopter Rides

Hong Kong:

The east-meets-west appeal of sophisticated Hong Kong doesn't fade, regardless of who's in clout. In a city chock-a-blocked with skyscrapers and jet-setters, it's only innate to want to rise above it all. Helicopter rides absorb highlights like Kowloon Bay, Victoria Peak, and the scintillating skyline. The chic ritzy Peninsula Hotel is the single hotel in the settlement with its own helicopter and helipad.

Victoria Falls:

"The smoke that thunders", "Mosi-oa-Tunya", or the "Victorian Falls", call it whatever, these thundering waterfalls bestride the border amid Zimbabwe and Zambia, reaching 5,600 feet across and plunging from a height of 360 feet. Today's travelers who can swoop over the monumental gorges by helicopter are coveted. Safari Par Excellence (or SafPar) proffers two "Helicopter Flips" over the falls, one from the Zimbabwe side and the other from Zambia.
