First helicopter ride

Published on Feb, 2025

Grey and Rubin were excellent guides and pilots. It was a very smooth ride and the views were amazing. We would do it again. Seeing the Twelve Apostles from the air was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We both highly recommend this tour.

The young pilot was taken excellent, very professional, courteous and interactive. Although young, an excellent aviator. Harry, great job flying and thanks for arranging our Vineyard lunch. Which was discussed and booked but never disclosed to the operator ahead of time. Harry fixed the the issue and met our expectations

An amazing, fast and confortable experience

Published on Mar, 2023

We had an amazing flight from Melbourne to 12 Apostles. Ed is a very competent and friendly pilot. We had a very safe flight. I think the best way to view the 12 apostles is from a helicopter. The tour is really worth it.
