HARBOUR & BLUE MOUNTAINS (PRIVATE)

The UNESCO World Heritage-listed Blue Mountains are known for their striking contrast between plateau, cliff, and valley landscapes, as well as the famous blue haze produced by the abundant eucalypt trees. The best way to appreciate the evolution of this 18-million-year-old mountain range is from the air. This once-in-a-lifetime 90-minute helicopter experience includes both a Blue Mountains scenic flight and a Sydney Harbour scenic.

The tour begins in the comforts of our modern guest lounge. Upon arrival, you will be greeted and checked in by our expert operations staff. A thorough safety briefing will then be conducted by the pilot inside the spacious lounge area to ensure you feel confident and prepared for your flight.

Before boarding, you’ll have the opportunity to take photos of the helicopter from the ground. Stand in front of it, pose at the side, and make the most of this fantastic photo opportunity! Cameras and video recorders are welcome onboard, so you can capture every incredible moment as you fly over picturesque Sydney Harbour and beyond.

Upon take-off for the Blue Mountains tour, enjoy panoramic views of Sydney with its skyline, Pacific Ocean, and the renowned Botany Bay. The flight continues along the coastline at 500 feet, gliding over Maroubra Beach, the Eastern Suburbs beaches including Coogee and Clovelly, and the world-famous Bondi Beach, where the aquamarine waters sparkle under the Sydney sun. Admire the spectacular houses perched on the sandstone cliffs of Ben Buckler and Vaucluse before heading north toward Sydney Harbour Heads.Entering Sydney Harbour, fly past the Sydney Opera House and the southern pylon of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, flanked by the skyscrapers of North Sydney on one side and the Circular Quay/Sydney CBD on the other. You will follow the Parramatta River at 500 feet, passing the Parramatta CBD, the geographical centre of Sydney, before turning west toward the Blue Mountains.

As you approach, the majestic Three Sisters and the dramatic sandstone cliff faces of the Jamison Valley will unfold beneath you. Witness the cascading Wentworth Falls as their crystal-clear waters tumble into the valley below. Stretching as far as the eye can see, the uniquely Australian eucalyptus forests guide you south toward Sydney’s water catchment area at Warragamba Dam. It’s remarkable to travel from Australia’s largest city to such a remote and untouched landscape in a single flight.

The return journey takes you via Sydney’s south-western suburbs and the Sydney Olympic Site, completing a flight that promises to exceed even the highest expectations. Throughout the journey, your pilot provides informative commentary via voice activated headsets, you will also be able to talk with the pilot and your other passengers whilst on the helicopter.
