About this tour
Pilot your own private helicopter for twenty minutes over Melbourne's most recognisable landmarks. You'll lift off from the tarmac with the city skyline as your backdrop, then descend to 400 metres as you bank past the Docklands, St Kilda's Boardwalk and Luna Park. The route sweeps across Albert Park's Formula 1 circuit, the Shrine of Remembrance, and the Royal Botanic Gardens before finishing above the MCG with sweeping views of the Yarra and CBD. Bose headsets keep conversation clear as your pilot narrates the route.

What to expect
Check in at the helipad, then walk straight onto the tarmac for photos with your helicopter before boarding. Once airborne, you'll fly at 400 metres—low enough to spot detail but high enough for proper perspective. Your pilot narrates landmarks as you pass: the Spirit of Tasmania at Station Pier, St Kilda's amusement park, then inland over the Formula 1 track and gardens. The final approach over the MCG gives you unobstructed views of three Melbourne icons at once. The entire flight takes twenty minutes; total visit time is roughly an hour including check-in and pre-flight briefing.
