Was a great tour. The time got changed a few times but that didn’t bother us as we were free all day. It was a 6 seater aircraft, 5 in the back and 1 in the front with the captain. Got great views of Sydney Opera House, Manly beach and other suburbs! Would definitely recommend. We were in the air for approx 20 mins.

Awesome way to see the city

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

Sydney helicopter experience

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.
