H — the helipad. The line is indicative: the pilot determines the exact flight path.
A helicopter flight over Pripyat and Chernobyl is a chance to see the abandoned towns of the exclusion zone from a few hundred metres up, take unique shots and gain unforgettable impressions. Unlike ground tours, the flight lets you view the landscapes of the former tragedy in a completely safe way: the helicopter does not touch the contaminated ground, so the chance of exposure is negligible.
What you will see in 110 minutes
- Pripyat and Chernobyl from a bird’s-eye view;
- the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant and the exclusion zone with its abandoned villages;
- a panorama of Kyiv and the beauty of Mezhyhirya on the way to the zone.
Individual or group format. The individual flight from Kyiv lasts about 110 minutes and covers the most locations. Another option is the group tour from Slavutych: the departure lasts an hour, the group flies in threes, and while some are in the air the others explore Ukraine’s youngest city with a guide.
Who it suits: those looking not just for a sightseeing flight but for deep emotions and exclusive shots. Photo and video are free. The price shown is for the entire helicopter — up to three passengers.
How to book a flight?
Booking a helicopter tour to the exclusion zone is easy — leave a request on the site or call us, and the manager will confirm the date, time and format (individual or group). We fly in favourable weather; if the flight cannot take place, we will reschedule it at no extra cost.
The flight is fully legal, with all permits and passenger insurance, under the control of experienced pilots. Find out the current price and answers to any questions by phone or through the form. Book a flight online or by phone.
What to bring with you?
Bring a camera or smartphone and some water, and wear comfortable clothes. You won’t need a Geiger counter — the flight is safe, as the helicopter does not touch the contaminated ground. Photo and video are free, so shoot as much as you like — even seasoned stalkers will envy your shots.
A flight over Chernobyl is an unusual gift for those who value experiences. Leave a request for a gift certificate or for helicopter rental for your own route.
Questions about this route
Is the price per person or per helicopter?
Per helicopter. The Robinson R44 takes up to three passengers: whether you fly alone, as a couple or three of you, the price is the same; a free seat stays empty, the flight is private and we never add strangers.
There are two of us — is the price the same?
Yes. The price is fixed for the whole helicopter: two or three of you pay the same and the free seat stays empty. There is another option: on the 12-, 18- and 24-minute routes there is a shared flight — you buy two seats, we add the third passenger, and the flight departs once the group is complete.
What happens if the weather is unsuitable on the day of the flight?
We reschedule the flight to another date that suits you, at no extra cost. Safety comes first: flights are not operated in non-flying weather, and the pilot makes the call.
Is there a weight limit for passengers?
Yes, there is a limit — it relates to the helicopter’s weight and balance. The combined weight of three passengers is up to 250 kg, with up to 120 kg per seat. There is no surcharge for weight. The exact limit depends on the fuel load and is confirmed before departure. If a passenger weighs more than 120 kg or the total exceeds 250 kg, contact us and we will find a solution individually.
