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.

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.

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.

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!

I booked this trip for my husband's 50th. While he's from Brisbane, the scenery around the Scenic Rim was new to him, as was the Koroomba Winery we visited. As a bonus, they also let us stop off at a nearby brewery. Jesse the pilot was great, and we also really appreciated Captain Mike's pick-up. Great day all around.

A helicopter ride with Captain Mike and the team at Pterodactyl Helicopters is a must do experience for anyone wanting to see the area and have a unique and once in a lifetime experience. There is absolutely nothing like flying in to a winery by helicopter, along with Captain Mike's commentary along the way of all of the local landmarks. We absolutely loved the entire experience and would highly recommend it!

We went to 4 wineries and had lunch at Kooroomba. We had a wonderful day which was made more enjoyable due to our friendly pilots Damien and Ben. (Just the nicest guys and lots of fun).
Highly recommend as a special and amazing experience. Thank you.

The cost will be the main barrier to entry. But once you have parted with your money, there is no denying that you will love it. It was my first chopper experience, so I was a bit nervous, but the pilot was very re-assuring and I always felt I was in very safe hands. If your budget can stretch that far, I’d definitely recommend doing it.

We are a family of five adults mainly and our 10 year old daughter. Mike took us our around the Lake Manchester are and left us at a beautiful spot on the river. They had left us the glampiest tent ever with a fantastic picnic. We spent a lovely afternoon swimming walking and just chilling with a nice glass of fizz and a lovely picnic. Mike picked us up and flew us back taking in some of the scenery. Great value, lovely people every tiny detail taken care of, a brilliant thing to do, thanks Mike & Jhoey for a 1st class service x

We are in the buisness of selling smile. We do this by providing extraordinary experiences every day. I would say we made a sale here. Thankyou so much. Part of the thrill of doing our job is spending time with people like you and your family.

My boyfriend organised a day tour involving two wineries, lunch at Spicers, and a stop at a pub on the way back. He proposed at Spicers.
We had an incredible day and I can’t rate Pterodactyl highly enough - they were friendly, professional, and did great job of helping to facilitate the proposal and keep it a secret.
