Every trip has one free day too few. These 10 helicopter tours justify the slot, priced and timed so you can decide in minutes and get back to the fun part.
Cruise from Cairns to two outer reef sites, snorkel, enjoy a BBQ lunch, and see the Great Barrier Reef from a 10-minute helicopter flight.
“Wow! What an amazing day! Great organisation, service, food. The two snorkeling locations were fantastic, clear water, loads of fish and amazing colours. The heli flight was insane! The whole day was magical.”
See Sydney Harbour, Bondi Beach, the Opera House and Harbour Bridge from above on a 20-minute helicopter flight with pilot commentary.
“Really good experience, however I don’t think the back middle seat should be used. Being in the middle with restricted views really detracts from the experience. When you’re spending $250 per person, you want your monies worth.”
See Uluru from a helicopter on a 15-minute flight from Yulara, with hotel transfers, expert commentary, bubble-window photos, and desert views.
“A breathtaking experience over Uluru! Flying in a helicopter over Uluru was simply unforgettable. From above, the view of the sacred monolith and the surrounding landscape is absolutely spectacular and truly breathtaking. The pilot was professional, knowledgeable, and very friendly. The flight was smooth and safe, with perfectly timed moments to admire Uluru from every angle. An emotional and deeply moving experience that I highly recommend to anyone visiting Australia’s Red Centre. Worth every cent. A must-do at least once in a lifetime!”
See Uluru and Kata Tjuṯa from a helicopter on a 25-minute flight from Yulara, with hotel pickup, pilot commentary, and clear Red Centre views.
“you guys need a microphone head set for your shuttle drivers... there was a older couple sitting behind us that were struggling to hear the safety instructions by our driver. you could go another step and have a video demo also play that can be viewed. the shuttle driver shouldn't have to concentrate on his driving and be sure you are taking in vital safety info. the activity itself was amazing, best way to ring in 40th bday”
Spend five hours at two Great Barrier Reef sites, enjoy a BBQ lunch, snorkel or scuba, and add a 10-minute helicopter flight from Cairns.
“helicopter ride is a MUST!!!!!! Driver has a good and stable driving skills. Diving is a little scary for the first time, but they led me very well and made me feel calm. Staff are all experts about the ocean things, passionate, friendly and willing to help. The activities worth the price. Remember to take medicine first if you have sea sick lol.”
See Sydney Harbour, the Opera House, Harbour Bridge, beaches, and coves from a shared helicopter with CBD transfers and refreshments.
“Helicopter ride was awesome,all the staff were very professional and friendly”
See Cable Beach, Willie Creek, red cliffs and Roebuck Bay from a small-group helicopter with hotel pickup and pilot commentary.
“Being up in the air, the scenery, the feeling of being free and that another one ticked off my list.”
See Bondi, Manly, Sydney Harbour, the Opera House, and Harbour Bridge on a 30-minute helicopter flight with live commentary.
“Excellent helicopter ride. From beginning to end it was very professional. Pilot Jake was fantastic.”
Review of Sydney HeliTours’ 30-minute flight over Bondi, Manly, Sydney Harbour Bridge, Opera House, beaches, and skyline.
“Well organised, welcoming and super fun! I was lucky to get allocated front seat with the pilot which mate it extra cool and exciting!!! Weather is very changeable but clouds has mostly cleared with blue skies adding to the photos, videos and experience!”
Take a 35-minute helicopter flight from Broome to Willie Creek, then tour a working pearl farm with a boat ride, pearl harvest, and morning tea.
“The helicopter flight out. The comprehensive information about Pearl farming through every stage of the pearls development. The staff obviously enjoy there work and the food was fantastic.”
Pick a coast, a rock or a cellar door.
