Great!
Short - but great. Loved it. Nice view over whole of Brisbane. Nice Pilot. 20 minutes are definitely too short but it was enough to fly to the CBD and then slowly return.

Tim was great!
Tim was great! He walked us through everything which made me more comfortable as a first time flyer. Very informative and fun. Would do this again. Thanks again.

No helicopter tour if you're traveling solo
The tour is written "for one" but you're only told wayyyy after you have booked that there needs to be three people in the helicopter for the tour if you want to go. After waiting eagerly for this tour, I was told the day before (outside of the 24h window so I wouldn't automatically get refunded) that I could either reschedule or pay for the remaining seats myself... Not great.

WONDERFUL FLIGHT!
EXCELLENT experience. Our Pilot (sorry I. ant remember HER name) was very patient, insightful and friendly. The morning was rainy and overcast but that did not deter us. I know it sounds crazy but I told my travel companion "wonder what it would feel like in a helicopter this size to hit tubulance"? Got my wish...( it was less than a minute) but our pilot handled it with a steady and calm hand. We even saw our hotel in the distance of the path she flew. Fabulous flight, great pilot, highly recommended, will return again for a longer flight.

Very nice experience
It was a really nice experience here. A beautiful view of Brisbane from the top, with the buildings and the story bridge. Thanks to the team and the pilot

Great flight!
The entire flight experience was nice. From the warm greeting to the actual flight. Our pilot was very nice and took us over a lot of Brisbane which was very nice to see!

A fantastic flight experience around the city
A great way to see the city from above, and to experience the unique sensation of flying in a helicopter! Our pilot was professional, informative, and accommodating to us as newbie helicopter passengers, given the conditions that prevailed that day. We flew from Archerfield to around Southbank, got close to the CBD and the Story Bridge, before turning around back to Archerfield. If anything, 30 mins passed by ever so quickly! Thank you to V Squared (no doubt a reference to the lift/drag equation) for an enjoyable flight and courteous ground staff members.
Operator response
Thanks so much for your lovely review Renody. We are so pleased to hear you had a fantastic experience with both your flight and our hard working friendly team here at V2 Helicopters.
