“Thank you Sky High Helicopters for a fantastic day. Chris was an
excellent pilot and an excellent host. He kept in contact with us in the days
before our trip informing us about the weather forecasts and the implications
for the flight. On the day of the flight he made us feel really welcome, really
comfortable and he explained everything regarding flying in a helicopter, our
flight plan and the weather. The flight was tremendous; Chris pointed out a
range of landmarks and explained everything flying related. The meal at the
winery was superb and even though we had to leave a little early because of
impending stormy weather, we had an excellent smooth flight home thanks to
Chris’ flying and navigation skills. All in all we had a truly fantastic
experience.”

"It seems like an age since our helicopter flight over Sydney Harbour last Sunday, but memories of the amazing experience are still very much with me. My only regret was that the experience was over far too quickly. I was surprised by the differences with fixed wing flight, especially the lightness of the aircraft and the low altitude at which we flew, but this just added to the fun and the excitement allowing me to sit back knowing that I was in safe and capable hands. So thank you for granting me a wonderful morning, and for providing some excellent memories of my short trip to Australia."

"My wife and I decided to treat ourselves to something totally different – a helicopter ride. This was something neither of us had done before and the prospect of flying over our home city had been one of those things on our “to do list”. We decided to go with Sky High Helicopters as they covered the sights we wanted to see and were very competitively priced. ! I admit I was little nervous to start with but nerves soon gave way to sheer delight and almost euphoria as we zoomed up the Parramatta River looking at all the mansions on Woolwich peninsula and then close enough to exchange waves with the harbour bridge walkers!! Capt Apps was very professional and likeable, talking us through the sights, filling us in with extra stories about certain landmarks we flew over. After widing our way up the harbour we took a turn to the left and up the northern beaches…what and experience it was to be flying just out from the breakers not far above the water passed place we had been swimming at for years but had never seen from this angle! It was a smooth yet exhilirating ride which by now we could not get enough of. We touched down near Erina, on the Central Coast, and felt like royalty being picked up by a restaurant shuttle bus, and escorted to the fine dining at Cowrie, Terrigal. The lunch was delicious, and view over the coast spectacular. Capt Apps was there at the helicopter to take us back to Sydney, and we could chose our course home, either over the coast, or inland over KuRing-Gai Chase National Park and the west side of the Harbour Bridge. I would thoroughly recommend flying with Sky High Helicopters for a wonderful helicopter experience! It is a memory we will both treasure forever."

"Exhilarating
and breath-taking views of Sydney complimented with a professional,
friendly and knowledgeable service made our day an unforgettable
experience."

On a recent short trip to Sydney, we decided to spoil ourselves for the day by taking a helicopter flight with Sky High Helicopters. The entire flight was absolutely exihilerating from take off to landing. We thoroughly enjoyed the breath-taking scenery of Sydney Harbour and the beautiful coastline beyond. In perfect conditions, we flew right over the magnificent Harbour Bridge and the Opera House, with a bird's eye view of the entire city.
We flew right along the harbour to the ocean, followed the beautiful beach front up the coast, then continued across land to the Hunter Valley, landing at Robert's Restaurant for lunch in the sunshine between the vines. After lunch we strolled across to the neighbouring Pepper Tree winery to taste the finest of the local wines. The meal was fabulous, the wines superb, the scenery was lovely - but nothing beat strolling back to 'our' helicopter and lifting off for the homeward journey, to the amazement and waves of the scores of onlookers who watched our departure. We flew across land back to the harbour before following the shoreline back to the heliport, sneaking a peak at how the rich half lives - admiring the amazing water-frontage mansions of Sydney from the sky. A delightful day, a wonderful thrill and experience - one that we will certainly recommend to all those we meet !! Thank you for an incredible day and some unforgetable memories.
