Meet The Owners

Lori and Isaiah are no strangers to the helicopter tour industry. Lori has been in the business for over 30 years, encouraging thousands of people to take their first helicopter ride. Isaiah, with over two decades of flying experience and more than 5000 flight hours under his belt, has done it all—from sightseeing tours and flight instruction to crop spraying and medical helicopters. Combining their extensive expertise and shared passion, they founded their first helicopter tour company in Hilton Head Island, SC over a decade ago. Their commitment and enthusiasm for helicopter tourism are evident in every flight.

In 2016 and 2017, Lori and Isaiah welcomed two amazing daughters, Josie and Sadie, into their family. These delightful additions have become an integral part of Happy Helicopter Tours. Josie and Sadie enjoy explaining the tours and safety rules to guests. Their favorite aspect of the business is that they had the privilege of naming it, making Happy Helicopters a true family affair.

Our family can’t wait to meet your family and share the joy of helicopter tours with you. Whether you’re an aviation enthusiast or a curious first-timer, we promise an unforgettable experience filled with breathtaking views and warm hospitality.

Signed,

Happy Helicopters!
