Top 5 Flights In Australia

There’s no doubt about it – Australia is an amazingly diverse country with so much to see and experience. If you want to enjoy a luxury Australian holiday with a difference, why not discover this country from the air? Here are what we believe to be the top 5 flights in Australia:

• Helicopter Flight: The Great Ocean Road, Victoria

Anyone who has driven along any part of Victoria’s amazing Great Ocean Road will no doubt describe the mesmerising beauty of this rugged, unique coastline. Just imagine how much more exhilarating this experience would be from the air.

One of the best scenic flights would have to be 12 Apostle Helicopters. With a strong commitment to safety and customer satisfaction, 12 Apostle Helicopters offer scenic flights that range from a quick eight minutes to a 30 minute, 90km trip of this spectacular coastline.

• Scenic Flight: Fraser Island, Queensland

Fraser Island, off the coast of Queensland, is a fascinating place to visit. This World Heritage Listed wilderness is absolutely stunning from any angle, but to view it from the air is something truly special.

Air Fraser Island specialises in scenic aerial tours of Fraser Island. Its air-strip isn’t located at some nearby mainland airport; Air Fraser Island’s air-strip is, in fact, the beach of Fraser Island.

Air Fraser Island can provide a package deal that combines a scenic flight with day tours of the island, Fly Drive 4WD Hire and various other island activities. You can even experience aerial whale-watching from June to September each year. Teamed with a stay at the magnificent Kingfisher Bay Resort this makes for a perfect luxury tour or honeymoon.

• Tiger Moth Joy Flight: Gold Coast, Queensland

What better way to discover the sights of the Gold Coast than from the open cockpit of a Tiger Moth Joy Flight?

With Tiger Moth Joy Flights you can truly get a bird’s eye view of the Gold Coast beaches and hinterland from your seat in a rare, vintage Tiger Moth that has been flying since 1931. Guests can choose from their flight type – scenic or aerobatic – along with the destination, from South Stradbroke to the beaches of Surfers Paradise or the stunning waterfalls of Springbrook National Park. Flight durations range from 20 minutes to an hour.

• Luxury Seaplane: The Kimberleys, Western Australia

An ideal way to experience the exquisite Kimberley region of Western Australia is undoubtedly via aerial view. Horizontal Falls Adventure Tours provide just that, in a luxury air-conditioned Prop Jet Seaplane.

Horizontal Falls Adventure Tours specialises in providing scenic flights over the Kimberley from either Broome or Derby. For a truly luxurious travel experience, combine your scenic day trip with an overnight stay on the Horizontal Falls Adventure Tours’ custom-built luxury house-boat, complete with dinner and breakfast.

It is no wonder that scenic flights are  our most popular tour. With wilderness and landscapes unique to this remote region of Western Australia, the Kimberley sights are best appreciated from a birds eye view.

An extreme Kimberley scenic flight can offer you an opportunity to;

• See the ever changing mudflats
• See the spectacular deserted Thousand Island Coastline of the Buccaneer Archipelago
• See a corner of the Kimberley that is as awesome as it is beautiful
• With the Horizontal Falls in flow and the incredible water colours
• See the eddies and whirlpools of the huge tides!

Once you have experienced all of the above, there is still more amazing sights to take in on your Kimberley scenic flight.  View the Iron Ore Isles from the air and the south sea pearl operations that deliver the best pearls in the world.

Spend a day in our backyard and understand why we love it here.
