    Grey and Rubin were excellent guides and pilots. It was a very smooth ride and the views were amazing. We would do it again. Seeing the Twelve Apostles from the air was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We both highly recommend this tour.

    The young pilot was taken excellent, very professional, courteous and interactive. Although young, an excellent aviator. Harry, great job flying and thanks for arranging our Vineyard lunch. Which was discussed and booked but never disclosed to the operator ahead of time. Harry fixed the the issue and met our expectations

    We had an amazing flight from Melbourne to 12 Apostles. Ed is a very competent and friendly pilot. We had a very safe flight. I think the best way to view the 12 apostles is from a helicopter. The tour is really worth it.

  • The quickest and most exciting way to visit the 12 apostles

    We can highly recommend rotor 1 for the perfect way to visit the 12 apostles and lunch at a winery on the way back. Michael and Ed made us feel very secure and explained so much about what we were seeing from the air. They are one of only 3 Melbourne companies with permission to land at 12 apostles visitor centre. Whole experience very professional and relaxed. Whilst it’s not for everyone’s budget I felt as a once in a lifetime experience it was worth every dollar. It’s the only way to avoid a 12-13 hour day trip by mini bus. Lunch booked at Jack rabbit vineyard with private helipad was also excellent and good value for money. We will be thinking about this perfect day for a long time to come. It was really beyond our budget but not as bad as in Europe for a such a long distance. Weather was perfect for us I don’t think they can fix the weather every time!

  • Superb helitrip with Ed to the twelve apostels

    The heli trip from Melbourne to the twelve apostels is fantastic. We got a warm welcome by our pilot Ed. It all starts with a great view of the skyline of Melbourne. Then a trip of about one hour and fifteen minutes tot the apostels. During the flight, we got to know each other better and Ed is such a nice empathic guy with a wonderful story. He makes sure that one is in the best position to take pictures of the apostels. Afterwards Ed brought us to a vineyard with good food and a spectacular view on the vineyard, the bay and the skyline of Melbourne. This helitrip is value for money and Ed is the best compagnon one can imagine.

    Our flight was wonderful, the scenery beautiful and Ed our pilot a terrific host. We were booked for a Wednesday, however as the weather (in true Melbourne style) was forecast to be awful- Ed contacted us on Monday and offered to bring the flight forward to Tuesday and we enjoyed a gorgeous sunny day flight. The reschedule meant we couldn’t go to the winery, however Ed put together a gourmet picnic hamper for us and we enjoyed that on the beach instead which was really lovely . A great way to mark my 50th birthday and tick off a bucket list item.

    The whole experience was amazing, we loved flying, the view of Melbourne city, Flemington, Bay of islands, London bridge, the arch and 12 apostles! Our pilot Edward was fun, informative and went above and beyond. It was for our honeymoon so we added landing at a winery for lunch. The food at Terindah Estate was so good. Would definitely recommend to everyone such a memorable experience!!
