Having by chance met Richard and Matt as they were dropping off people at the Outback Pioneer Resort, we were impressed with their enthusiasm and friendliness, so decided we would 'go with them' for our helo ride over Uluru and Kata Tjuta. Together with my elderly parents (who had never even sat in a helicopter before!!) we did the sunset... More

Very professional outfit. Pilot was very informative. We did a 15min flight which went far too quickly. We were surprised that we did not fly all around the rock. I'd suggest spending a little extra and do a longer flight

We decided if we were driving this far to Uluru, we were going to do the helicopter flight over the top and we were not disappointed. We booked with this company as they also work out of Kings Canyon and they were recommend to us. We did the flight over Uluru & Kata Tjuta and the view the sky is... More

We chose to do the extended flight option which took in the Olgas as well as Uluru and we did this at sunset and were so glad we did as the colours were simply amazing or, as our wonderful pilot, James described them - ripping! Our pilot, James was extremely professional and friendly and during the flight gave us very... More

When in Ayers rock you must do this tour, preferably including the Olgas. We also took our two year old son onto this flight, he loved it. In fact, small children are likely to fall asleep, Just make sure they keep their headphones on.

We knew the extended 36 minute helicopter flight was expensive but what we didn't know was the flight plan was very limited due to restrictions placed on the company. Heli flights i have done elsewhere have been exciting and somtimes exhilarating. This bordered on boring. If you happen to get a pilot with limited oratory skills it is just that.... More

We headed up into the skys and the views were simply incredible! The photo's of the rock from the sky were the best i'd taken and we thoroughly... More

What an amazing experience my son and I had. A helicopter flight from Yalara to Uluru and then across to Kata Tjuta (the Olga's) Our pilot was so knowledgable and respectful and explained why we couldn't fly over the rock or the Olga's. I would definitely recommend this flight. It was simply breathtaking...

As per other recent reviews, we also did the extended 36 minute flight over both Uluru and Kata Tjuta and whilst I don't disagree with their comments, we were disappointed that we did not get closer to the rocks. Compared to our last helicopter flight in Alaska where we were skimming just above the ice, this seemed more like a... More

Hello Lexus, Can I begin with thanking you for your review, we take on all feedback and are constantly reviewing our product for ongoing improvement. Unfortunately our regulator does not allow us to fly as low as other operators around the world especially within the National Park of Uluru & Kata Tjuta where we have to adhere to additional strict...

Our family of 5 did the 36 minute extended Uluru and Kata Tjuta flight. As we had 2 small children with a combined weight under 60 kg, they counted as 1 person, so all 5 of us could go on one helicopter which was wonderful. The flight went over the town of Yalara and on to Uluru. Whilst it didn't... More
