4.00This was a fun experience for our first day in Sydney. It’s a beautiful way to see the city. It did feel very short so if you’re wanting more time in the sky and a ride that does not feel a bit rushed this might not be it. None the less it was fun and a nice experience.

Unforgettable Sydney Helicopter Adventure

5.00This helicopter ride over Sydney was simply unforgettable! From the moment our friendly driver picked us up and brought us to Sydney Airport, the whole experience felt special and perfectly organised. The staff made us feel right at home, and our pilot was welcoming, professional, and shared fascinating commentary about Sydney’s iconic landmarks as we soared above the city, beaches, and harbour. We felt safe, comfortable, and excited throughout the flight, and the panoramic views from the helicopter were truly breathtaking. It was the highlight of our trip to Australia, and I can’t recommend both the crew and this incredible adventure enough. Thank you for making our day so memorable, we’ll definitely be back for another flight!
Fabulous

5.00I had never flown in a helicopter before and this was a great way to start! Everything was smooth and professional from the charming and engaging driver on the minibus to the staff at the airport. The flight itself was fabulous and we lucked out with a clear and bright morning. The views are great, the only problem was that it was over all too soon, 20 mins went by so fast. The only negative was the woman who assisted us with getting off the helicopter at the end and taking photos, a smile would have been nice. Overall though, a great experience and I would not hesitate to do it again.
Amazing
