Tropicopter

Tropicopter is a company located in the Port of Motril which takes visitors up in one of their special helicopters to enjoy a bird’s eye view of the coastline and surrounding valley. On our trip, we did a spectacular tour of the coastline leading to Salobreña and then circled the picturesque castle perched atop a massive rock jutting out into the sea. It's a photographer's dream!

The helicopters are small but comfortable (pond-jumpers, as they're sometimes referred) and can sit 3 easily. The tours might seem to be on the short side (10-15min.) but it's the perfect amount of time to enjoy the thrill of going up hundreds of feet over the Mediterranean without the claustrophobia or airsickness which longer flights might provoke.
