Outing Highlights
A 25-minute, doors-off adrenaline burst
This experience is condensed and intense: a 25-minute helicopter sortie flown with the doors removed so passengers feel the winter air and the immediate rush of being suspended above the coastline.
Wineglass Bay from an uncompromised angle
The route puts Wineglass Bay — its curve of white sand and blue water — squarely in view, with clarity favored on cool, bright days that bring out the coastline’s contrast.
Private-feel experience for two or three
You can reserve the helicopter for a party of three or book the experience just for two, keeping the flight intimate and focused on the vistas and the sensation of doors-off flying.
What the day feels like
What it feels like
Short and sensory: the helicopter lifts you clear of the shoreline and spends 25 minutes above Wineglass Bay with the doors off, so the wind and winter air are part of the experience. Expect brisk, invigorating conditions and wide, uninterrupted coastal views on clear days.
