      Exceptional experience
      The helicopter flight and lunch at Esca was exceptional with perfect weather. Jake our pilot was very professional, friendly and flexible with flight arrangements which contributed to a memorable experience. Lara our Esca staff member, was informative and provided excellent service and dedication to ensure our lunch would be enjoyed. Highly recommend the Red Balloon package for any occasion and especially for helicopter novices. Mick & Helen

      Birthday flight
      Chose to do this helicopter flight and 3 course lunch for my mother’s 70th birthday and it was amazing. Adam was our pilot. He was great to talk to and fly with. We had the best day. Very memorable.

      Exceeded our expectations!
      The helicopter flight and lunch was an incredible experience, from start to finish and far exceeded our expectations. We could not have picked a more perfect day, there was not a cloud in the sky and we could see as far as the Stockton sand dunes. Additionally, the food and service at Hunters Quarter was exceptional and we can’t wait to go back. James our pilot was fantastic, he took lots of photos for us as a keepsake and was very welcoming and informative. We could not fault this experience.

      Unforgettable 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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

      Service I paid for not provided and refused refund
      Treated 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.

      Great trip. We felt very safe and well looked after.
      The helicopter trip looking at the Hunter valley from the air was fantastic. The pilot Grayson was knowledgeable about the landscape and the geography we were seeing. We highly recommend this trip

      Great quick trip over the Hunter Valley
      Took our Red Balloon experience today with HV Helicopters, and despite rainy weather, we had a great time! Grayson our pilot was great at pointing out all the places we know in the Hunter Valley from driving, but look so different from the air!

      Awesome experience, great pilot
      It 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.

    Amazing tour giving you a stunning view of the Brokenback Range, the whole valley, the vineyards and some of the main attractions that you get a birds-eye-view of, like the Hunter Valley Gardens! I am not good with sudden drops but the pilot was flying so smoothly you couldn't tell we were going nearly 200kn/h! We got some great photos and videos of the valley and the pilot was very knowledgeable with telling us what we were looking at. Definitely recommend!

    We had a wonderful and memorable experience on our 15 minute scenic flight around the Hunter Valley and Broken back range with Grayson. Our 3 year old Daughter was onboard with us and she loved every minute of it, particularly the headset and microphone! Grayson was confident, experienced and made us feel safe. We thoroughly enjoyed the incredible views and guided tour of the area and would recommend to anyone!

    Excellent service, Amy was very helpful and accomodating and Grayson our pilot very informative and patient. A great experience, first time for all 3 of us and we enjoyed it very much. We want to go out to Uluru and do the same but weren't sure if Mr 9 year old would go up, He loved it and we can confidently book our adventure out there now!

    Thank you to HV Helicopters for being receptive and considerate toward helping me reconnect with an old career. It was encouraging to get behind the controls again and a real buzz that The skills were still there after nearly 30yrs. The pilot (Oliver) was very helpful, supportive and a great instructor.
    I also got to enjoy seeing my wife enjoy the pleasure of flying in a helicopter for the first time.
    The team and the whole experience was professional, friendly and incredibly special. A fantastic day and I look forward to going back again soon.
    Thanks guys

    I booked the 15 minute flight for my partner and I as a surprise as part of a romantic weekend away. Neither of us had ever been in a helicopter and we were very nervous beforehand.
    Firstly, we had to reschedule our time due to heavy rain. Grayson helped us out with this, enabling us to still complete our flight on the day, rather than having to come back another day.
    From the moment we arrived at the terminal Grayson put us at ease. He was professional, knowledgeable and informative.
    We absolutely loved the flight, it was not at all scary. Grayson was calm and a competent pilot. He took us the best route to see as much as possible on a cloudy day.
    Overall, our experience with Hunter Valley Helicopters was faultless. We had an AMAZING flight and can't wait to do it again in the future.

    We had a great time. It was such a lovely morning and the views were amazing. The Pilot was very friendly and polite. I'm sorry I can't remember the pilots name, but our flight was on the 18th Feb 2022 @ 08:00am
    It's something we would love to do again some day. This was a gift for my 81 YO mother, as she couldn't celebrate her last 2 birthdays due to covid.

    Myself and my husband had the opportunity to fly on 8th June 2020 and for me its 1st ever experience. A young lady (sorry, I forgot her name) who was so friendly and smiling always, made our trip so fun. She made clear of all the instructions and showed us many parts while flying, was quite informative. She was kind enough to take some pictures with the helicopter. I would strongly recommend to fly and have an amazing experience.
