Essential Tips for First-Time Helicopter Tour Flyers
What to Expect During Your Flight

As you can imagine, there are no bad seats on a helicopter tour. Sydney has an endless trail of stunning sights from all corners. But typically, the front passenger seat offers the most expansive, panoramic views. - Consider Flight Route
If there's a particular landmark you're hoping to see up close, you can inquire about the flight path with our staff and secure a seat that provides the best vantage point.
Prepare for Your Helicopter Tour
The ideal choice of clothing for a helicopter tour in Australia is something that you feel comfortable in. We recommend closed shoes for safety and stability.
