We absolutely loved our Helicopter Tour with Alex. We had never been in a helicopter before and he made us feel completely safe and secure. The views are to die for and I'm so beyond happy that we did this. Would 1000% do again.

A Bucket List Must

Chris_B, May 2023

The whole experience was amazing. We both suffer from motion sickness so we’re delighted that this was not a factor. Charles our pilot was fantastic, giving a running commentary through the whole trip. The absolute highlight though was flying over the harbour bridge. This was such an exhilarating experience, I would recommend to everyone.

Fantastic half hour helicopter trip

I was going to take video with my phone but the view was too good to be taken by phone, so i put down my phone and just enjoy the marvelous sight, The shouting so you can talk through your headphones, the slightly turn of helicopter was fun. I wanted to learn how to fly an helicopter, Adam our pilot had a good sense of humuor. Our time was awesome, i would definetly want to go again but longer.

A great experience

Atiyeh_E, Mar 2021

My friend and I bought this flight as a birthday surprise for our spouses. The pilot, Craig, helped us a lot to complete this surprise. He was an amazing kind man. We had a fabulous flight. I definitely suggest it.

Amazing experience!

KELLEY_P, Jan 2020

This was an amazing and worthwhile tour. They did everything in their power to get us out safely in the smoke and took us on a tour with great views of all parts of the city and park. Staff were friendly, caring, and personable. Awesome!

Response from Host, Jan 2020

Thanks for your kind words, we always do our best to provide a great experience and we are certainly glad you had an amazing time. Cheers!

Amazing trip

CHUWEI_T, Jul 2019

This is our first time to take helicopter. The journey is amazing. It's nice to see Sydney from the sky. The helicopter flew over the Sydney bridge and oprea house. We highly recommand people to experience the helicopter journey.

Amazing trip

CHUWEI_T, Jul 2019

The view from the helicopter is amazing, especially while flew over the top of Sydney bridge and oprea house. We highly recommand people to take the helicopter trip.

Loved it

Sandra_P, Apr 2019

Fabulous way to see the beautiful city. First time up, amazed at smooth take off and landing. A prior pick up would have been advantageous.

Wahnsinns Erlebnis

Lisa, Feb 2020

Sehr freundlicher Empfang und super nette Mitarbeiter. Schon im Vorhinein wurden unsere Fragen sehr schnell beantwortet. Der Flug war ein klasse Erlebnis. Man hat einen Privatflug also waren wir nur zu zweit mit dem Piloten. Der hat uns während des Flugs einiges gezeigt und erzählt. Der Blick über die Stadt, die Brücke und die Oper sind wirklich atemberaubend. Aber auch mal die Stadt hinter den Sehenswürdigkeiten und auch das Olympia-Areal zu sehen ist toll. Wir können den Flug wirklich empfehlen und würden ihn dort auch wieder buchen.
