- 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.

The 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.

My partner made me the best 40th present I could had asked. Helicopter ride was one of my dreams and it was definitely accomplished thanks to Hunter Valley Helicopters.
Our pilot was kind and engaged with us at all times. He knew the area and suggested the best options wineries. We were lucky as we had bought a voucher that included a massage, but since it was booked out, we got offered to do an extra winery stop.
We just felt like royalty all day. People came over to say hello to us, took pictures and we felt famous. The views excelled expectations and the lunch was lovely and so good quality. Pilot gave us the time the take all the pics we wanted in every angle. He was an excellent photographer as well.
We did this trip 2 weeks ago and we have been talking about it since then to every friend and family member. Totally recommended.

Myself and my wife went for a flight and lunch, we had Michael drop us off, he was very knowledgable of the area and made us feel very comfortable the whole time. I was extremely professional. Adam pick us up and dropped us back, he was equally knowledgable of the area and did a great job in accommodating a different drop of area. We really enjoyed the experience and highly recommend this experience

I surprised my wife with this 3 hour helicopter tour and included lunch, I chose Hunters Quarter to have lunch and wow, everything I could ask for and more. The dining here was exceptional to say the least. The helicopter experience is a must, what a way to see the Vineyards in all their glory truly amazing. Our pilot was excellent he pointed out all the landmarks and attractions during the flight and was an excellent pilot (I’m still waiting to feel the landing).

Supper Satisfied with this amazing experience! the staff were engaging and extremely knowledgeable, providing great information about the area throughout the flight. The lunch package was exquisite, and couldn't praise the service more. Would defiantly recommend adding a wine tasting, its the perfect way to end a beautifully spent day.

On Sunday 8/1/2023 for a surprise for my sons birthday I took him on a helicopter lunch package over the Hunter valley . The staff were amazing and helped with the surprise to not telling him where he was going. We were welcomed by Micheal and he was just lovely very easy to talk to and I watched as he interacted with other customers, he was just amazing, after our safety brief we were off. Grayson our pilot was fantastic, very knowledgeable of the Hunter, very easy to talk to and no problem with answering our questions. Micheal and Grayson made our day. Our lunch at Blaxland inn was great. The staff there were very nice and professional.
I most certainly would recommend Hunter valley helicopters for any special occasion. The are brilliant. Happy flying. Definitely check out what they have available

Flight was organised as a surprise jaunt for my partner who had never flown in a helicopter. After a long lunch we joined our pilot at a nearby vineyard estate. The look of surprise on my partner's face was priceless.
We weren't disappointed, a brief introduction & safety briefing by the friendly pilot (who doubled as photographer) then into the air for a wonderful flightseeing tour of the local vineyards before landing without a bump !
Thanks guys, wonderful experience ..... Highly recommended

The staff at Hunter Valley Helicopters are friendly, informative and obliging. Our flight was cancelled due to low cloud cover but arranged to fit us in the next day.
I would strongly recommend one of their tours and we will be doing another one.
