- Richie B0 contributionsA must do when you’re in Sydney.An awesome experience. Sydney is beautiful but from the air fantastic. Oscar on the ground staff was really helpful and guided us through each step before boarding. He made sure we were fully prepared. Our pilot Brandon was great giving us a running commentary on the sights as we passed by. There was never any doubt we were in very capable hands all of the time. A really good display of professionalism by both people. A Highly recommended tour.Written 12 March 2024

- stephfaulkner820 contributionsProfessional and friendly!We had a fantastic experience with Oscar (pilot) and Brandon (ground crew) on 5th August 2023. Professional, polite and friendly. We chose the HD cam footage as an added extra and I highly recommend doing this. The media is high quality. Recommend this company 110%. Thank you for giving us some great memories on our holiday!Written 6 August 2023
- McGAussie0 contributionsFabulous experience!Service from booking to end was friendly, professional and helpful. A smooth operation that ran on time. Our pilot Sacha was engaging and informative all along our route, and I’ve never experienced a softer landing. Our flight was from Sydney down to Bowral and back, stopping for a most enjoyable lunch at a winery, as part of a package. I can thoroughly recommend this company and experience.Written 3 July 2023
- michaelmI4651BU0 contributionsStunning views!Wow! Simply amazing tour! Cost less money for a private helicopter tour than to do the bridge climb (where they don’t let you take a camera). Once I did that math, the priority was an easy choice. Blue Sky did not disappoint. The day before our flight, we walked the coastline of Bondi beach down to the light house near Lady Beach prior to our flight. Seeing the cliffs from the edge and then later from the air was awesome.Written 25 March 2023
- TVDad0 contributionsBlown Away by Blue Mountain EcoTour!From start to finish the Blue Mountain Eco Tour was amazing! This was a private tour for just my wife and me. We began with a 45 minute Ariel tour of the Blue Mountains. It really was majestic, by air. Then we landed for part two of the tour, a three hour trip into the bush. Our guide concentrated on geology, ecology and protecting the wilderness. Your guide may be an aboriginal elder who will concentrate on ancient customs. It’s really luck of the draw. We ended up deep in the bush where we were surrounded by kangaroo in the wild. We ate a quick picnic lunch and headed back to the helicopter. The flight back to Sydney, included spectacular views of the coastline, harbor and city. This was our favorite tour in Sydney! It’s very very expensive! But this was our only trip to Australia ever, so I splurged! it’s well worth the money.Written 23 March 2023

What an amazing afternoon. Thank you so much to Eemon , the super swav and funny pilot . We did a flight over Royal National Park . Eemon has a great knowledge of the area and made me and my mate Luke feel super relaxed and comfortable ( it was Luke’s first flight) . The views were spectacular. On the way back we saw a whale breaching , all thanks to Eemon’s keen observation skills . So exciting , she went out of her way to give us a closer look and I got some great video .

This fabulous ride was a surprise birthday gift from my stepson and his fiancé.
It was a clear, sunny day and Alex, our pilot, made an extra turn over the Harbour bridge and the Opera house.
Fantastic views over Sydney city, the northern beaches, the dramatic coastline, Bondi and the other beaches.
Highly recommended!

Just do it! There's no pockets in shrouds.
Absolutely fantastic experience with the doors off too. Never thought we'd be flying so low too. Harbour bridge, I felt like I could shout to the climbers.
I wish 30 mins at work went that quick.
Matt our pilot was great pointing out points of interest.
Quite windy with the doors off and at first my eye lids flapped and thought it was a mistake but once over the city it was fine.
Brilliant.

A impressive experience and I think the only way to see Sydney whether you are a local or tourist. Some truly amazing views of the the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge, Sydney Opera House and its beaches - particularly when the helicopter tilts as it circles a sight. The helicam records the whole experience which allows you to relive the experience.
