We booked the 20 minute flight over the Hunter Valley Gardens and the experience was great. The pilot was friendly and professional and took his time to explain everything. Only caution for anyone booking this is that bad weather may result in cancellations as our booking had to moved to another day due to rain. Overall it was a fantastic experience and I would highly recommend.

We had an amazing experience! The person flying us (I don't remember his name) was super friendly and polite. He even patiently took our pictures with the helicopter and was very pleasant to talk to. I would highly recommend this company if anyone wants to try out the Helicopter ride.

My first helicopter ride

Justin_H, Oct 2023
Easy to book a ride in this delightful chopper, it was my first trip in one! The pilot greeted us with smile and joke about flying. He was professional, confident and very knowledgeable about the area. He made us feel comfortable and made it one enjoyable experience. I can strike this one off my bucket list. Thank you HV!
