Helicopter Tours in PD

Helicopter Tours in Port Dickson are one of the very new niche tourism products in this part of Negeri Sembilan, which can be found at the all new PD Waterfront district.

Port Dickson is a local township otherwise known as PD that sits on the coast of Negeri Sembilan and is only an hours drive from Kuala Lumpur or Melaka.

This beachside paradise was once the main highlight for local and also foreign tourism many years ago but now has started to flourish again with massive tourism development being constructed and planned here.

During one of my visits to the PD Water Festival 2013 with Tourism Malaysia, we were introduced to this brand new tourism product which is managed from a local company that operates this tour only on weekends and public holidays.

For those who have never been in a helicopter, this is a good time to experience it as it. If you have a family, it would serve as an amazing family experience.

Prices for the helicopter tours are around RM250 (US$40) per person, and the total time for this ride is about 15 minutes. You start by signing up at the registration and information tent which is located in an open car park just next to the new PD McDonald’s drive through.

This is also in the PD town area for additional information. A complete 10 minute briefing and safety walk through will be conducted by the pilot before going on your tour therefore, you should listen carefully to the instructions here.

As the helicopter ride then takes off from the landing pad, you will see the PD Waterfront from the air and eventually as you get higher, you see the entire PD coastal area up from the air in a bird eye perspective.

The chopper will fly pass some popular resorts situated along the coast before it makes a turn and head back over ground. Here, you will experience seeing the coastal roads and township from the air before you make your landing back at the landing pad.
