Incredible experience - Incredible experience, without a doubt a highlight of my trip. Friendly driver for the pick up and drop off from Sydney CDB. Pilot gave a great commentary pointing out all the highlights during the flight. Big windows on the helicopter to take amazing photos. If you're thinking about doing it then I would definitely suggest it, and if you aren't thinking about it - start doing so!

Heliflight Sydney - The pickup in the city worked very well, everything went very quickly and the Sydney Heli Tours team was very professional. The flight itself took 35 minutes and went from the heliport at the international airport over the city with great views of the opera house, harbor bridge and the harbor. Then we went across the entire harbor to Manly, and down the entire coast to behind Bondi Beach, from here back to the heliport with subsequent transport back to the city. thank you for this great experience

Fantastic helicopter experience. - My friend and I were visiting from UK and booked with Helitours as a treat to round up our trip. What a sensational experience it was. We were picked up at a local hotel by Peter in a lovely mini bus. After just one stop to collect another couple we were on our way. A swift half hour journey to Mascot where the airport is, and a briefing from Peter, and we were ready to sign in and begin our adventure. First the weigh in, and the safety talk. The weigh in is so important because of the need to establish the correct centre of gravity for the aircraft. We were shown to our C120 Eurocopter and introduced to our pilot Max. Seated according to weight distribution, Max explained the radio system and who we would hear, then it was ready to go. A fabulous smooth journey with an expert description of where we were, and what we were seeing across Sydney City, Sydney harbour, the iconic landmarks. Cunard Queen Elizabeth was moored up in the harbour, and looked marvelous backdropped against the bridge and the opera house. Out over the northern beaches, over Bondi, and back to the airport. A thirty minute flight that was just brilliant. Special thanks to both Max, and Peter. This was a trip that was so worth the money. Thank you to all involved.
