Brilliant bucket list activity
Absolutely brilliant, we did the day fishing and pub crawl. Proper bucket list stuff.
Everyone was great to deal with and our pilot was awesome, even caught a Barra.
Can’t recommend highly enough
Operator response
Hi Mark,
Thank you for your amazing review. Our Heli Fishing Pub Crawl is such a great tour and definitely one for the Bucket List. We are so glad to hear you caught a Barra as they can be a little tricky to catch this time of year. Well Done!
Cheers, From Ellie and the Airborne Crew

Wonderful Experience
Our guide was Tebo and we were in safe hands. He was able to explain many sights while we were in the air which made the flight memorable.
Seeing Darwin from the air was definitely worth the money spent to appreciate the town and its many things to offer a visitor.

Awesome x 10 great experience and great people running it. A Territory must do.
These Guy’s are the best! Very giving of their time, knowledge and care for the passengers, not only about the geography and sites to see but also the technology and aircraft that they work with. We could not have had a better time! Much thanks to Clints wonderful Team of champions especially Brent (our pilot on the day) and legends Blake and Tim. When we set down at the end neither my wife of myself didn’t want to get out. We will be back for sure! 5 stars is not enough!

Beautiful views of Darwin, Places of Interest
The whole trip was awesome, I would recommend it to everyone. From start to finish there was lots to look at. At the end had a birds eye view of the R.A.A.F base in Darwin. Pitch Black Exercise has a few more days to go and at the base, all Military planes were lined up on the Air Base. The views of Darwin were beautiful.

Great Fun
We did the 20 minute Darwin Cyclone helicopter tour and it was excellent. The pilot was professional throughout and made it a very enjoyable trip.
We would have no hesitation in looking at other trip options on our next trip to Darwin.
