Testimonials

Had an excellent scenic flight today over the beautiful Sydney Harbour! Our day started with complimentary transfers from Lincoln who was such a lovely bloke & super friendly. Then our pilot Forest was also fantastic and made us feel super comfortable and the commentary was great. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Sydney - definitely worth every dollar ☺️

We did a one day Eco Tour to the Blue Mountains. It was just the two of us and the pilot in the helicopter. Everyone was super nice and it was by far the highlight of our trip. The price we paid was worth it and being picked up and cared for the entire was awesome. We did something that would usually take way more time and would not even be nearly as exciting in half a day and we loved it! Really recommend it !!!

Best experience ever! Spoil yourself. Stunning views. You're made to feel very safe and comfortable. The captain has a lot of fun facts on the sites you see :) It's an experience you won't forget. ohhh and the rush you get going up in the air - wowza...it's like you're a bee :) it's much more exhilarating and you feel safer than what you do in a small plane.
