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.

What an incredible way to see the Gold Coast. The service from ABC Heli was second to none. Greg our pilot provided us with an incredible experience and his commentary on the flight was very great, keeping us informed of all the highlights.
The booking staff on the phone at ABC Heli were also very helpful and worked the flight time to coincide with our itinerary for the day.
I strongly recommend the 30 minute scenic tour.
If I could give these guys 10 stars I would.
The best service we have received during our stay on the Gold Coast. Thank you ABC Heli. 👍🚁

The crew at ABC Helis where so amazing.
I wanted to propose to my partner and they helped me with a great flight and set up a fantastic food platter , did a sneaky drop off for us for me to pop the question.
Returning after an hour to pick us both up taking photos for us and making it such a memorable moment.
Can’t thank them enough and would highly recommend them for any situation that you may need.

The experience from start to finish was amazing. The crew were super friendly and very accommodating. They did a great job at helping my now fiancée set up a picnic and hide the ring without me knowing a thing! The flight was incredible and definitely a day I won’t forget. Highly recommend!

Greg went out oh his way to make this fabulous experience the best it could possibly be. He had lots of great tales and fascinating facts. We felt extremely safe and well looked after. It’s a wonderful experience we will always remember. So exciting, awe-inspiring and fun. Highly recommend doing a helicopter ride with Greg from ABC Heli.

Had to put when we went just to submit this, it was never went.Every time we rang to try and book they were never in the office. Said he’d send me bank details to send payment to and still waiting 2 weeks later. Obviously doesn’t want our money. We definitely won’t be recommending this company.

Had a flight with Greg today with my family and it was awesome. We have been lucky to have been on a few helicopter rides but this was the best. Great aircraft, lots of room inside and Greg was such a great pilot. Super safe and just a really nice guy. Pointed out all the things to see on the flight. Thanks for a great experience .

What a brilliant flight !! Spectacular views from our spacious 5 seater helicopter expertly flown by Dan with accompanying commentary.
Highly recommended for both locals to see where we live from a different perspective and for visitors to see why we love living here in Paradise.
Do yourselves a favour and book a flight - you won’t regret it.

We bought this experience as a wedding gift for our cousins who were visiting Australia on their honeymoon! This experience exceeded their expectation and ours! Andrew out awesome pilot coordinated the whole experience for us making suggestions on what was best to see and visit. The 6 seater chopper comfortably fit all of us and with an effortless takeoff we left the ABC heli hanger behind for a spectacular birds eye view flying up along the coast line past Burleigh Mountain, Q1 and right up to the Southport Seaway. What a way to showcase the entire Gold Coast! Andrew was informative, professional and made those who were first time helicopter passengers feel at ease. After flying over the Southport Spit we headed inland flying over the Commonwealth Games Athletes village towards the Gold Coast hinterland. We landed by the banks of a creek at OReillys Vineyard to be greeted with an overflowing breakfast hamper that we could cook on the bbq near the creek edge. Freshly squeezed juice, cereal, fruit, yoghurt, croissants, bacon, eggs and sausages.... we could not finish it all. After seeing turtles and alpacas we then headed in for wine tasting! The Platypus Semillion Sav Blanc was a favourite! The flight back was over the hinterland and Hinze Dam showcasing the vast expanses of trees and green countryside that are within a stones throw of the Gold Coast beaches. Our landing was incredibly smooth- the only disappointment... that this amazing experience was over! However Andrew did say ABC heli do flights to Stradbroke Is, Sirromet or can custom make our own experience! We would thoroughly recommend this for anyone who has a limited time to visit the Gold Coast as well as for us locals who are after a unique experience and a different perspective of where we are fortunate to live.
