About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- StaceyL980 contributionsUnforgettable Helicopter Wine Tour Experience!From start to finish, our helicopter wine tour was absolutely incredible! The breathtaking aerial views set the tone for an unforgettable day, offering a unique and stunning perspective of the vineyards before we even landed. The service was top-notch, our pilot was not only skilled but also knowledgeable, sharing insights about the region while making us feel completely at ease. The wineries were a dream, with a warm welcome, exquisite wines, and a delicious tasting experience that truly showcased the best of the region. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to combine adventure, luxury, and exceptional wine! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Written 11 February 2025
- Richard H0 contributionsService I paid for not provided and refused refundTreated my two young grandsons to a flight today at Cessnock Airshow. Considered two options $85 for six minutes, $110 for 10 minutes. Chose the latter. Timed flight from lift off to set down on phone. Only got six minutes. Refused to refund the difference.Written 8 February 2025

- 876harpreetk0 contributionsAwesome experience, great pilotIt was our first time ride in helicopter, we were greeted really nicely by the pilot, he took our pictures, explained us the safety procedure as well. Even our 16 month old baby was great in the flight. It was awesome experience, must do for everyone once in hunter valley. We got to see great views and HV helicopters were really accommodating as well. We postponed it to a day later as it was raining on the day we were suppose to go for the ride. I will recommend them to everyone.Written 9 October 2024

- eyes19970 contributionsGreat experience in the hunter valleyThe restaurant that our original tour was booked for was full and Grayson was very proactive in informing us early with proposal for lunch at another restaurant with a wine tasting thrown in as well. Our friendly pilot, Adam, gave us a very detailed tour of the hunter valley region, pointing out various locations of interest and even flew us over the nearby mountain ridges. Would definitely recommend the helicopter tour as a highlight for the hunter valley region.Written 22 February 2024

My husband and I booked this tour to celebrate our birthdays jointly. The pilot was very very charming and accommodating. The flight was amazing the views spectacular. Lunch at Ecra was beautiful and very impressed that they were so understanding of my dietary requirements (Coeliac Disease and Lactose Intolerance). Would HIGHLY recommend!!

As part of our total lunch package/experience, the helicopter was the stand out.
Grayson made us feel very comfortable, especially my nervous wife who ended up wanting more flight time as the scenic flight itself was perfect in every sense of the word.
A taste of the life of the rich and famous when we called Grayson from the winery to collect us after lunch and he glides in over the tree top, sets down and we casually stroll over to "our" helicopter for the flight back to reality

We had a two - winery tasting experience. Pick up from McCaffrey’s and flights to two other wineries for tastings. Despite an overcast day, it was an awesome experience. Our pilot, Adam, could not have been more friendly and helpful. I thoroughly recommend this experience to anyone who enjoys a good wine tour, especially if you’ve experienced the Hunter many times before but not from the air.

We had such an amazing Fathers Day Experience thanks to Greyson and the team at Hunter Valley Helicopters, they were super responsive and professional. The weather almost made the experience cancel and the continuous updates from the team helped to relieve my stress. Thank you and we WILL see you again.

If you are thinking of booking a Hunter Valley flight, don't hesitate. The valley from the air is absolutely stunning - the greenest January in years!
We loved Hunter Valley Helicopters because their
service was amazing. From booking, personalising our flight through to our pilot Adam! It was the best day!
We flew from Chateau Elan (picked up at our hotel) to Adina Estate where we enjoyed an olive and vine tasting, on to Hunter's Dream then an amazing long lunch at Bristro Molines. We returned to Chateau Elan via Hanging Tree Wines.
Adam, our pilot, was knowledgeable, humorous and professional. Thanks team for providing a memorable lifetime experience!

The helicopter experience was a surprise for my 50th birthday. We were picked up from our accommodation and taken to 2 beautiful wineries. It was a clear sunny day so it was a beautiful experience. Our pilot Oliver was very professional and informative. Highly recommend this to be on anyone’s bucket list!

So I have now used Hunter Valley Helicopters 3 times. I have done a lunch package with my mum in 2014, a breakfast flight in 2019 and today a wineries and waves flight. Customer Service, Professionalism and overall money for value is outstanding. Im not the best flyer however feel completely at ease with their pilots. I wouldn't hesitate to do it again.

Our 3 children and their families gifted us an overall 20min flight with a stopover at Audrey Wilkinson Vineyard for a private wine tasting and exquisite 'picnic' lunch. Wonderful way to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. HV Helicopters were marvellous in coordinating the event for us to enjoy a hassle free 3.5 hours (albeit we could have taken longer at no additional cost). The staff at HVH were friendly, accomodating and always polite. Their craft was clean, tidy and comfortable. The flight was complimented by the reception, service and wine tasting we received at Audrey Wilkinson through one of their senior staff members. - Fantastic - P&D_N
