Very cool, you see everything that Sydney has to offer! The pickup process is very easy if you dont have a way to get to their location. Double check with their assigned seating as its random and they initially separated my wife and I, and seemed reluctant to accommodate us sitting next to eachother at first. Outside of that, we had a great time and they took plenty of great pictures of us with the aircraft once we returned

I had an amazing helicopter ride over Sydney. Seeing the city’s key landmarks from above, including the stunning Sydney Opera House and the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge, was truly unforgettable. The whole experience was smooth and well-organised, and the staff at the helicopter centre were extremely helpful and friendly throughout. The driver provided excellent pick-up and transfer service, making the entire day stress-free. I was able to capture some incredible memories from the flight, and overall it was a fantastic experience. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Sydney.

This 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.

Excellent 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.
