5.00We had the best time and could not recommend HVH enough. Our pilot was highly skilled and went out of his way to make the take off and landing sensational. We included an extra stop (wine tasting) and it was a real James Bond moment landing near the vineyards in front of the testing verandah. We selected a Friday and started at 11.30am and finished back at the airport just after 4.30pm. What a great day. Looking to create a forever memory - this is one! 11 out of 10.
Spectacular!

5.00We recently celebrated our Anniversary with a "High Flyer Dining Experience" in the Hunter Valley that included a Helicopter joy-flight and lunch at The Gates Restaurant at Leogate Winery, booked using "Red Balloon" Vouchers. Being personally picked up via Helicopter at our accommodation and flown to our lunch destination via a flight over Wine Country was a thrill! After a delicious and delightful lunch (without any specific finish time) we were again picked up and returned to our starting point via Helicopter. Our Pilot, Jake, was professional and friendly. The day was a little inclement, but Jake worked around the weather conditions to ensure we were safe and had clear vistas of the below landscape. Thank you to Jake at Hunter Valley Helicopters and The Gates Restaurant - this was an amazing experience!
Exceptional experience

5.00The helicopter flight and lunch at Esca was exceptional with perfect weather. Jake our pilot was very professional, friendly and flexible with flight arrangements which contributed to a memorable experience. Lara our Esca staff member, was informative and provided excellent service and dedication to ensure our lunch would be enjoyed. Highly recommend the Red Balloon package for any occasion and especially for helicopter novices. Mick & Helen

5.00The helicopter flight and lunch was an incredible experience, from start to finish and far exceeded our expectations. We could not have picked a more perfect day, there was not a cloud in the sky and we could see as far as the Stockton sand dunes. Additionally, the food and service at Hunters Quarter was exceptional and we can’t wait to go back. James our pilot was fantastic, he took lots of photos for us as a keepsake and was very welcoming and informative. We could not fault this experience.

5.00We had a great flight. Our pilot, Adam, was knowledgeable about the area and the views were beautiful. Conrad was kind enough to take some photos and was very friendly.
A memorable experience for a special occasion.

5.00This was a very decadent experience but worth it for a special occasion. Unfortunately the flight was over very quickly, but the restaurant experience was one of the best dining memories we'll ever have.
Great experience
