Unforgettable aerial adventure over Melbourne

Our helicopter ride over Melbourne was unforgettable! As we lifted off, the city unfolded beneath us, revealing incredible views of the skyline, Yarra River & Port Phillip Bay, and the surrounding landmarks. It was thrilling to see the entire city from such a unique vantage point. One of the highlights of the trip was flying over Albert Park during the Formula 1 season. Watching the energy of the F1 crowd and catching glimpses of the cars racing around the track from above was an extraordinary experience. It felt like being part of the excitement, but with an exclusive, bird's-eye view !
Amazing flight

The sky was clear and flight was amazing. We had brilliant views of St Kilda, MCG and Rod laver arena. I have a phobia for heights but did not experience any anxiety under the capable hands of our pilot, Richard. We will plan for a longer trip to the winery next time.
Great tour operator

We had a fantastic experience, The breeze was slow so it was a gentle flight. The cloud ceiling was above us so the visibility was unlimited. We flew over major spots in the city so we took some cool photos.

This was a surprise gift for my daughter that lives in Melbourne. It was such a success, that we couldn't stop talking about it for days. Circling the MCG while there was a game going on was the highlight for me. I think my daughter like getting a close view of her apartment. Ed was extremely knowledgeable and made the trip super interesting. We took up the offer of the extended trip, and it was brilliant. I cannot recommend this company and this excursion enough. My daughter says it was by far the best thing she has ever done in Melbourne. Thank you Ed, it was fantastic. Clive

I’ve lived nearly 6 years in Melbourne and can confidently say that was the best experience I’ve done. Ed took amazing care of us, made the experience personal and enjoyable, and just wish I could keep doing it again and again. Would recommend it to anyone and will make sure to do this with any family members that visit. Absolutely world class

Ed was a treat. The whole experience was something I’d recommend to anyone. As someone who is scared of heights, I was reassured and also felt comfortable throughout the duration of the flight. Will be back again!
Awesome way to see Melbourne.
