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.

Memories forever! Imagine arriving at a fantastic restaurant with your loved one in a helicopter, after being treated to wonderful views of the well-named Scenic Rim, walking in on a red carpet to a phenomenal meal, being treated as a VIP the whole way, when your chaufer isn't just a limo driver, but a helicopter pilot!
It simply doesn't get any better than what Pterodactyl provides.
Everything was Easy. Booking, briefing and execution were flawless.
Our Pilot was absolutely meticulous, supremely professional, but also fun, quirky and quite funny.
It is a day we will remember forever, for all the right reasons! My advice - DO IT!!!!! Awesome.

What great service from the time you enquire to the time you get home.
Pick up by a wonderful Limo service at the door.
Taken to the Airstrip
Then drinks are ready when you arrive. And a sit and chat with Damo ( Home James) the pilot for us for the day.
A tour around the choppers and a few golden rules and it was off to do the tour.
Damo having lots of knowledge also helped us understand the areas we were flying over.
Then came the pubs which also had great service. But the feeling of being a VIP when you land at the back door.
Then again the Limo again home to the door.
What a great time we had and the wife already wants to do the winery. So watch out Damo I warn you now she is coming back for you to take her to the winery.
Would recommend Elite and the tours for anyone to do this great experience.
Thanks to the Elite team and Damo (home James) for a great time.
Oh and Damo I think a Heli fish could be a go for me next.

Travelled with Paul to several pubs in the Scenic Rim - loved the scenery, the pubs chosen were terrific, it was do much fun. Our pilot Paul couldn't be faulted, he went out of his way to make sure we enjoyed the whole experience and took care to make sure everyone was looked after and had fun. And thanks to everyone at Elite's base who were all friendly and polite and also made sure we were having fun.

Flight from Archerfield to Eagle Heights hotel at Mt Tamborine for lunch, it was fantastic! Thanks to our pilot Paul who is just a great bloke and who absolutely made our day. The pub has a fantastic view of the Gold coast and it was a great lunch. Highly recommend the whole experience and we can't wait to do another trip with Paul!

We flew with these guys who recently merged with Elite Helicopters. They took us to Spicers Peak Resort. They are friendly, professional and capable. The choppers are clean and you feel very safe. You can tell by their professionalism you are in safe hands and they explain a lot about the flight path and attitude of the chopper along the way. The only constructive feedback we would give is it’s important for pilots to wear deodorant as the cabin is small and it can be uncomfortable to smell body odour.

We went for my wife's 40th birthday recently. It was a perfect day from the team (special thanks to Paul) at Pterodactyl to the fantastic wineries and the great conversation. I would absolutely recommend. We are planning when we can do the pub crawl!

My Fiancé organised a private helicopter ride with Jesse from Pterodactyl Helicopters to take us to a private location down by the river, where we were greeted with a gorgeous Teepee set up from The Soul Nook Collective. This is where the man of my dreams asked to spend the rest of his life with me!
Jesse was extremely friendly and made flying very easy, especially for my partner as he gets motion sickness easily!
We were blown away with the customer service and special touches the boys from Pterodactyl Helicopters our into making our day very special. 11/10
