Helicopter Rides in Sydney 

Helicopter flights over Sydney are right up with the very best in the world. The best-selling helicopter scenic flight for two (30 minutes), high above Olympic Park and Sydney Harbour, includes the added bonus of a third person flying free. Taking off in a modern Robinson helicopter on your private flight, you’ll enjoy aerial views of the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge, Sydney Opera House and maybe even out to the Blue Mountains in the distance.   

Seeing these famous sights from this angle is sure to thrill even the most experienced of adventurers. What’s more, every passenger in a Robinson helicopter has a window seat, so there’s never been a better incentive to see Sydney’s best landmarks with your head in the clouds. 

Keen for a faster thrill with coastal views? In just 20 minutes you can tick off the world-famous Bondi Beach, plus Taronga Zoo, the Opera House, Harbour Bridge and more. 

All flights offer up some unbeatable photo opportunities and the best views of Sydney skyline and beyond. Take a look at all products to find the options that’s best for you. 

If you’re after a little more combat-style action, then how about the Black Ops military helicopter flight in Sydney? This even includes GoPro footage to take home. 

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to strap yourself into one of the most dynamic helicopters in creation: the jet-powered McDonnell Douglas 500E (MD500E). 

This unique package is for one flier and features a 20-minute flight aboard the legendary aircraft made famous in cult film “Apocalypse Now”, “The Italian Job” and “Mission Impossible”. 

 

Helicopter Rides in Melbourne 

You’ll find a range of Melbourne helicopter rides available to choose from onsite. A popular option is the 18-20-minute Melbourne city orbit tour. This incredible sightseeing experience from Essendon Airport gives you a chance to tick off a number of must-see Melbourne landmarks in a matter of minutes. Look out for the MCG, Eureka Tower, Rod Laver Arena and many more. 

You and a friend will delight in a scenic flight 1,000 feet above the city while revelling in the breathtaking beauty of Melbourne and its surroundings. If you can stretch to a slightly longer flight you’ll also be able to take in sights like Phillip Island and the magnificent coastline.

Helicopter rides near you 

We pride ourselves in having a huge range of Australia’s best experience providers. 

There are too many locations to talk about all of them here, but rest assured that Adrenaline is your one-stop-shop for scenic flight in locations including: 

 

What to expect on your first helicopter ride? 

Helicopter tours are always a magical experience, whether it’s your first flight or the latest of many. After all, this is a thrilling bucket list activity in every sense. But your first flight tends to be extra special and is a time you’ll never forget. 

An adventurous spirit certainly helps, but in reality, you’ll be supplied with everything you need on the day. Dress comfortably and remember your sunglasses and camera for those all-important souvenir photos. Helicopters have inbuilt air-conditioning and heating, so simply bring a jumper if the day is nippy and wear appropriate, light clothing for warmer weather.  

There is no turbulence encountered in helicopters, thanks to their sleek bodies and tubular blades, so if you’re worried about a bumpy ride you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Noise-cancelling headphones are supplied, so sit back, relax and listen to the informative commentary supplied by your experienced and expertly trained pilot. Feel free to ask any questions you may have during your flight. 

First-timer nerves tend to disappear after take off and you’ll instead be fully focused on the spectacular views as you soar through the sky. The entire experience is thrilling, memorable and a real must-try. 
 

How safe are Helicopter Tours? 

Concerned fliers should check that the company running the tours has the necessary permits and licensing to provide these unforgettable experiences. The gold triangle of scenic flight safety is centred on three crucial elements: regulation from an official administrative body, seat belts and harnesses, and emergency preparation. 

Most companies also have a closed-door policy when flying high, except in the event of specially equipped aircraft for professional photography flights. If you check the registration, wear your seatbelt and take note of safety instructions provided prior to take-off, joyriders are assured of the smoothest, safest and most enjoyable flight possible. 

You could also view reviewer feedback on social media channels, which is a great way of finding out what other people thought of the experience and how many have taken the helicopter tour in the past. All Adrenaline helicopter tours are supplied by leading experience providers, so you can be sure they exceed expectations in all of these categories. 

With years of experience as a leading seller of gift vouchers and unique adventures throughout Australia, Adrenaline is fully qualified and expertly equipped to make all your dreams of the ultimate helicopter ride come true. 
 
 

How Much Does a Helicopter Tour Cost? 

A helicopter tour is surprisingly affordable. Prices start from as little as downwards of $100 for a 10-minute scenic flight to less than $300 for a learn-to-fly helicopter 30-minute experience in Melbourne or Sydney and can scale upwards of $550 for a helicopter pilot training one-hour session. 

Adrenaline also offers other reasonably priced helicopter adventures over some of the nation’s most picturesque landscape, such as the stunning Hunter Valley wine region, which includes a deluxe lunch and champagne experience. This fly and dine package includes a breathtaking scenic flight in a luxury Robinson R44 chopper and fly-in gourmet, three-course lunch and wine tastings at one of the region’s premium wineries. For all this, you’ll only be paying slightly more than $350.    

Those with a bigger budget and a sense of adventure could go for a Doors-off Helicopter Aerial Photography Flight with Pro-Camera Hire for up to three people. This takes off from Mascot Airport in Sydney and is an experience that’s sure to impress photography lovers.
