Where to go for a helicopter flight in Australia
Helicopter flights are available across most major cities and regions in Australia. Each location offers something different from the air, so the hardest part is choosing where to go first.
Sydney helicopter flights
The Sydney Harbour helicopter flight is one of Australia's most iconic experiences. Fly over the Harbour Bridge, Opera House, and Bondi Beach on a Sydney scenic helicopter tour that never gets old. Options range from 10-minute scenic laps to 30-minute extended flights with doors off for an even bigger rush.
Melbourne helicopter flights
See Melbourne's famous bay and cityscape from the air on a Melbourne helicopter flight. Doors-off tours over the bay are a popular choice for those who want to feel the full experience.
Brisbane and Queensland helicopter flights
Queensland is made for aerial sightseeing. Fly over the Gold Coast beaches, the Daintree Rainforest, or take a Great Barrier Reef helicopter and cruise package that combines two bucket-list experiences in one day.
Perth and Western Australia
From the Swan River to the Kimberley coast, Perth helicopter flights showcase just how vast and varied WA's landscapes really are.
Barossa Valley and South Australia
A private helicopter tour over the Barossa Valley is a very different way to see wine country. Fly above the vineyards, land for a tasting, and head back with a view of the valley you'll want to talk about for years.
Helicopter experiences as gifts
A helicopter flight is one of those gifts that lands properly. It's specific, it's exciting, and it's an experience rather than something that sits in a drawer. Browse helicopter gift experiences across every price point and find something that fits the occasion perfectly.
Is there a minimum age for helicopter flights?
Age and weight requirements vary by operator. Most flights welcome children accompanied by an adult. Check individual experience pages for specific requirements before booking.
Do I need experience to go on a helicopter flight?
No experience is needed for scenic helicopter flights. You're a passenger and a trained pilot handles everything. If you want to take the controls, look for a learn-to-fly helicopter experience.
Can I buy a helicopter flight as a gift voucher?
Yes. All RedBalloon experiences can be purchased as gift vouchers. The recipient can book their preferred date directly with the operator, with vouchers valid for 12 months from purchase.
