5.00Absolutely book this! It was my first time ever in a helicopter and now I want to do one of these that every scenic place I visit. It was such a smooth ride and I really enjoyed how the pilot pointed out all of the cool things to see below. Even though it was only a short amount of time it felt like a long tour because we saw so much! Very professional and I felt extremely safe.

5.00This was SO worth it! We came straight from the airport, and they kindly let us store our luggage in the building. We watched a safety video and then discussed safety with the captain. We felt very safe while in the helicopter, and we saw such incredible aerial views of Sydney. The weather was perfect and the guided tour was so informative! Would definitely recommend.

5.00Excellent experience from start to finish. From being collected in the mini bus, very friendly driver to arriving at base, the guys there were very professional, polite and explained everything perfectly. Nice and relaxing lounge before and after the helicopter ride with refreshments on hand. The actual ride was out of this world a truly amazing experience, I felt exhilarated, my first ever ride. The pilot was very knowledgeable and very friendly. Thank you so much for such a memorable 60th birthday experience. It is a class organisation and I would highly recommend.

Not worth the time

1.00Shorter than advertised and not much information, stories or historical events. Felt like an assembly line. Gave my weight when I signed up and paid for the excursion only to be weighed again at the office and told because of my weight I had to have my own personal flight and pay an additional 200.00. (Nice up sell)
A fantastic experience...
