5.00This was our first-ever helicopter experience, and it was absolutely incredible! My husband, teenage son, and I were originally scheduled to fly the day before, but our flight was canceled due to an incoming storm. In hindsight, we were so grateful for that decision - the weather the following day was perfect! We were pleasantly surprised with a complimentary private flight for the three of us, which made the experience even more special. Our pilot, Johnny, was very professional, friendly and reassuring. Even my husband, who is afraid of heights, felt completely at ease and ended up loving the flight. Seeing Sydney from above was unforgettable- the Opera House, the Harbour, and the stunning coastline (Bondi and Coogee beaches) were breathtaking. A huge thank you to the wonderful staff, especially Peter, who went above and beyond by picking us up (twice!) from the meeting point and dropping us off near our hotel so we could catch our flight back to Melbourne on the same day. An amazing experience from start to finish, delivered by truly professional and caring staff. Highly recommended 🚁✨🥳
Wonderful experience

5.00This experience was great. I have never been on a helicopter before, but the staff took you through step by step instructions on what to do. And when you set off the amazing views over Sydney opera house and bondi beach was such a beautiful sit to see.
Treat yourself

5.00Well worth the price, stunning views of the Harbour and the beaches. Apart from the obvious two landmarks which we all want to see, the natural beauty and splendour of the bays is a sight to see.
Incredible! Do not hesitate to BOOK!

5.00Incredible! Never been in a helicopter before and booked it for a surprise treat whilst in Sydney for New Year. Picked up on time with clear instructions and taken to the heliport. Whilst on the short transfer the driver was helpful in explaining the process as to what will happen when we arrive. Greeted at reception by helpful welcome team who confirmed the booking and weighed each of us. Requested to leave bags in reception area so as not to add more weight and clutter to the helicopter. Briefing video shown and life jackets provided. Very impressed by Health & Safety. Given clear instructions as to what to do and when out near the helicopter. Our pilot was Lauren, who was really knowledgeable and helpful answering our questions whilst in the air. Incredible journey over the Opera House, Bridge and up the coast line. No restrictions on taking photos or videos whilst airborne. Safely returned to the helipad and opportunity to take photo with the helicopter. Merchandise available to purchase and we bought a toy kangaroo dressed in branded flight jacket and head gear as a reminder. At the end, Driver dropped us at Circular Quay. Fabulous experience and highly recommend. Thank you to all the team for helping us make memories!
Brilliant experience
