Sydney Helicopter Grand Tour

Take to the skies on an exhilarating helicopter flight and enjoy magnificent views of the dramatic city skyline, harbour and legendary landmarks including the Opera House, Harbour Bridge and famous surf beaches.

Your City hotel pick-up by a Sydney HeliTours vehicle will kickstart your memorable journey to Mascot Heliport, situated at 472 Ross Smith Avenue, Sydney Airport, the designated departure point for your adventure. Upon arrival, after a smooth check-in process and a comprehensive pre-flight safety briefing, you'll step aboard a luxurious helicopter for an exhilarating 30-minute Grand Tour scenic flight.

From high above, take in the breathtaking beauty of Sydney's iconic beaches as your helicopter gracefully glides over Coogee Beach, Bondi Beach, and Manly Beach, showcasing one of Australia's most stunning coastal stretches. Keep an eye out for the possibility of encountering schools of fish, dolphins, and depending on the season, majestic whales. Your aerial journey then leads you into Sydney Harbour, where you'll enjoy several mesmerising orbits and a close-up view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the iconic Sydney Opera House, and the stunning city skyline.

After your flight, savour complimentary refreshments, including tea and coffee. Following this incredible experience, our team will ensure your return to your designated City hotel, ensuring a seamless end to your adventure.

Throughout the flight you can talk to each other via voice-activated headsets and your professional pilot will provide you with an expert commentary on all the sights and heli tour highlights.
