Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

In celebration of our Wedding Anniversary, we wanted to do something special so we took the 25-minute 12 Apostles to Bay of Islands flight giving us a bird’s eye view of the rock formations to truly appreciate the beauty (especially Bay of Islands), which was very impressive!! Blake was a great pilot and very knowledgeable about the area. Despite being short staffed due to Covid, the staff were friendly and professional. For extra $$ you can get a copy of your flight in USB. The whole experience was truly impressive and would highly recommend it.

We drove from Warrnambool to the 12 Apostles and made the impromptu decision to see how much a helicopter flight would be over the apostles. We decided to book into the next flight ($145pp for 15min flight). We are so glad that we did. It was a beautiful clear sunny day. Each passenger has a headset so you can hear the pilot identify the different landmarks. We were on the flight with 2 other couples. If you get the opportunity, we would highly recommend you do the flight over the apostles.

A thrilling ride in the smaller Robinson R44 chopper, it's like a flying bubble, over some of the prettiest scenery in Australia. Our pilot Tash gave us a good description of the many rock formations, coves and islands along the coast. Took lots of photos. The helicopter base is right at the 12 Apostles car park and I bought a ticket on the spot in the afternoon when plenty of people were there, and took the basic $145 ride. The chopper runs close to the coast almost to Peterborough, then flies back a bit further out from the shore, I guess to keep the flight tracks separate in busy times. You also buy a video USB of the flight for $45. Most of the flights were the bigger choppers with 7 passengers, mine was in the baby chopper with 3 passengers. Great fun.

There are Twelve Apostles reef rocks standing on the beach of Australia's Great Ocean Road~
The sea is vast and the coastline is very long. It is not practical to appreciate the rocks from the land!
We took a 16-minute helicopter ride and circled along the coastline, admiring the coast and the Twelve Apostles.
The helicopter is very beautiful and safe. Each trip carries 7 passengers, including the captain and 8 switchboard personnel.
I was sitting on the right side of the captain, overlooking the entire journey from the middle of the first row. The scenery was extremely beautiful~
Helicopter tour of the 12 Apostles on the Great Ocean Road with beautiful scenery, highly recommended~

We did the 1 hour tour with a wonderful weather. It was very very very beautiful. The 25 minutes tour is a minimum. Our helicopter has 3 passengers, some have 7 passengers (maybe too many to take photos and videos). We were only 2 so it was perfect. Booking in advance is a good thing

Despite being short staffed due to Covid, the staff were friendly and professional. We did the 25 minute 12 Apostles to Bay of Islands flight which was perfect having explored the area the previous two days by car. Nick was a great pilot and knowledgeable about the area. The whole experience was fantastic and would highly recommend it.

We had perfect weather for a 25 minute flight over the Bay of Islands. Tash was our pilot who was extremely well informed about the 12 Apostles. Although very busy our experience was seemless. Loved every minute of our flight and would recommend this experience to locals and visitors alike.

went on the 1 hr flight and it was awesome. The staff where professional and personal. Felt safe and looked after from my first contact to the flight. Pilot had great knowledge of the area. If I’m ever back this way I would do it again. Great value for money. I highly recommend. The only thing I would say if your solo give them a call a few days prior and they will assist in getting you on a flight, you can’t book for 1 online.

Although very busy, the crew at 12 Apostles was well organised and got everyone through asap.
Excellent aircraft and we really enjoyed the info from pilot Tash throughout the flight.
Highly recommend at least the 25 min trip for a great experience.

This was an unexpected and worthwhile highlight. The 15 minute flight gives you an incredible view of the famous rock formations. It was super windy and you could not tell at all during the flight. The souvenir video is also amazing. Highly recommend.

Infants under two years of age can fly on the lap of an adult for a $20 fee. Over two years of age, a child must sit in their own seat and are the same price as an adult ticket.
Written 24 January 2020
Minimum price is $145, and they go up from there.

I would like to know how much is the HD video, how long is it and can you buy when you're there?
Written 15 March 2018
To answer this question , the ride lasted approximately 15 minutes so the video goes for 15 minutes . It started recording from the moment the helicopter left the landing pad .

Hi, should I book the ticket in advance? Or to only buy it when I am there?
Written 19 April 2017
Hi , No need to book unless is christmas holidays etc. We arrived on a saturday and only had about 45 minutes to wait. Tip is to book the flight as soon as you get there. You will get a timeslot , if there is a bit of a wait you can get something to eat at the kiosk or walk over the viewing area to get your ground view. They have about 7 choppers , so they get through the line up quickly.You wont regret it , it is spectacular from the air. The pilots also give great commentary during the flight. Hope this helps. You can also get a video of the flight.

Anyone have experience in bringing a 23month old toddler? What should the parents be aware or take note of? Thanks a million!
Written 8 March 2017
I remember seeing parents with toddlers in the lines waiting to go on the flights. They have special babies safety vests too. And you can only wear a sun hat while waiting in the line, you must remove the hat and leave handbags etc behind. They have a place you can leave them though. And if you want to take photos make sure you get a window seat!
