Sydney by Helicopter

Whether you are a visitor to the harbour city of Sydney, or a resident, one of the most spectacular ways to check our great metropolis is to take in Sydney by helicopter - a "joy flight". I've been up several times, and the experience is memorable, to say the least.

Sydney HeliTours offers high quality helicopter services from their location at the Mascot Heliport (Sydney Airport), including the aforementioned Sydney joy flights. It's relatively inexpensive too, at only $209 for a booked flight (per person), or they even have weekend standby seats at $99 each.

They are the largest scenic helicopter company in Sydney, and are owned by the Curry Kenny Aviation Group. The company flies more passengers around Sydney Harbour and its surrounds than any other helicopter company.

Having been in operation since 1993, the Chief Pilot at Sydney HeliTours, Michael Twigg, estimates they have flown over 143,000 passengers, from all over the world.

The company doesn't only do Sydney joy flights either - they also cater for tailored helicopter tours and scenic flights, aerial film and photography platforms, as well as corporate charter and transfers. And their fleet is as you would expect from a company with such along history - well maintained and beautifully presented, and operated all year round.
