Tiger Moth Coastline Tours

What Can I Expect

These Tiger Moth coastline tours will see you soaring over Norfolk or Suffolk in a vintage de Havilland biplane for a wonderful experience that’s both a pleasure flight and lesson!

Taking off from North Denes Yarmouth Heliport, you’ll be making the most of the stunning backdrop of the East Anglian coast and countryside. The views are amazing and made all the more incredible as this is open-cockpit flying at its best!

We are offering vouchers for the 50-minute Suffolk tour and the 90-minute Norfolk tour.

On the Suffolk Tiger Moth tour, you’ll head south after take off, to see the likes of lovely Lowestoft and soar over Southwold, the charming seaside resort that’s been a family favourite for years.

On the Norfolk tour, the Tiger Moth will be on a northerly heading past Caister and flying over the coast around Cromer and Sheringham, to reach the very picturesque Blakeney point. You might even spot the seals from your bird’s eye cockpit viewpoint!

Clearly, there’s a lot to see from the skies above Norfolk and Suffolk and you’ll have plenty of time to gaze at it all during your Tiger Moth tour.

Then, on your return leg, there’s another little treat for you. If you’re up for it, you’ll be able to take the controls and fly the plane yourself - and it’s a great feeling. And if you want more, make sure you say yes when your pilot offers to demonstrate a loop or a barrel roll! Now that’s the way to round off your Tiger Moth coastline tour.
