Helicopter Scenic Flights Melbourne, Australia

Heli Experiences Pilot Josh( Below) and I flew to Mt Buller last week, and enjoyed one of the best blue sky winters day ever.

After departing Essendon, given the early morning fog we were VFR on top for the trip over Melbourne and cleared up to 2500 feet by the Essendon controllers, before experiencing perfect weather for the remainder of the trip. We snuck up to 6500 feet for a direct track straight to Mt Buller, which we could see in the distance before we even got to the Yarra Valley!

After a track over the Village and the fresh snow on the ski runs, we landed at the top of the car park at Horse Hill, for the quick trip onto the moment.

Some of our guests had never seen snow before so it was a real treat. We left the moment at 4.15 pm and was back just after 5, with our guests in the hotel by 5.45pm…now that’s a day at the snow!! Even Better they got an awesome Melbourne helicopter scenic on return.

One of the questions we are asked many times, which one should I do? Well to be honest i think they are completely different experiences. I’ve heard there is a palpable feeling of achievement once you have completed a Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb and certainly It’s one of the most inspiring experiences in Sydney. A helicopter flight around Sydney Harbour is plain different and has it’s own Pluses. The fact that you are not stationary and you get to see a lot more Sydney Harbour Sights including North head, The awesome coastline and Bondi beach as well as flying right past the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House will leave you with a  lot of photos to sort through. Not a bad problem! To sum up when in Sydney, You should do both and make your own mind up. Do the Climb, then do the Ride! (or the other way around!)
