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 had a wonderful time exploring the Gold Coast from the air. From the sandy beaches and skyscrapers to the hilly Hinterland while watching the sun set. Mick was a great pilot and guide who gave us a wonderful tour of the Gold Coast from the air and we highly recommend this great experience.

Had the most amazing experience!!
Mick had so much knowledge about the aircraft which he shared in an interesting and engaging way!! And he was no natural in what he did, he built great rapport with my partner and I. I felt so safe and comfortable, even whilst spiralling through the air.
He made sure to stay in touch with me throughout the whole flight, able to sense when the G force was getting to me and tailoring the flight to ensure I got the most adrenaline filled experience possible, finding the perfect line of pushing me to my limits- without pushing me past them.
No matter what you're looking for, this is the place to do it. From the near on 30 stunts he pulled that had me smiling ear to ear, through to finishing up the flight with a scenic stroll back down the coast, past Southport spit, following it all the way back to Coolangatta. This flight had it all.
Can't recommend this enough

Loved my flight in the Yak-52. Mick is an excellent Pilot and host, I liked the personal touch of calling me the night before to confirm everything, (most companies send an auto generated email). On the day he took me through what we were going to do and gave me a rundown on the aircraft. It was a perfect day and so much fun to see the Gold Coast from the air (though a lot of it was upside down). I upgraded to the video/photo package and so glad I did, its so professional. I thoroughly recommend the team at Gold Coast Adventure flights 10/10 will definitely do this again.

Hi Dannii, so glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for fantastic review. I agree, best way to see the Gold Coast, even if it is upside down. I look forward to flying with you again.
Thanks, Mick.

I had the pleasure of going on an Acrobatic Flight on a Russian YAK 52 and what an experience!! From the moment I arrived, everything was explained to me in great detail and I felt completely comfortable about the fact that I was about to do figure 8's and what not in the sky! Ha. I highly recommend these guys, not only are they sheer professionals but they are experts at what they do. We laughed whilst we did tricks and had a blast. I could not have asked for a better way to spend my 40th birthday than hanging upside down in the sky admiring the view. Thanks guys- we will be back for more action packed fun in the near future!

Absolute highlight of the year...amazing experience and heaps of fun.
Hats off to Mick. From our initial meeting to shaking hands at the end, Mick is super professional and goes above and beyond to explain everything about the aircraft and the aerobatic manoeuvres.
You have total control over what happens during the flight and Mick will give you as much or as little as you can handle.
The manoeuvres and G force experience is amazing. Gives you some appreciation of a fighter pilot experience! Loops, Barrel Rolls...you get the lot.
The views over the Gold Coast are awesome and I couldn't think of a better way to spend 30 mins on a Friday arvo.
Thanks again Mick, I will be back for more.

Our 15 year old son had a sore face from smiling so much during his aerobatic Yak flight with Mick. Due to smoke haze Mick kept in touch with us for 3 days waiting for a window of opportunity to do the flight. He is a super funny guy, but also very professional at the same time. It was the best service we had during our time on the Gold Coast. We can't recommend this company and the flight enough.

A once in a life time adventure to be in a plane with Mick flying across the Gold Coast skyline doing a heap of different tricks.
What a fantastic personalized 25 minutes worth of adrenaline.
Absolutely loved it and highly recommend to anyone seeking something different to take you out of your comfort zone.

This was an absolutely unmissable experience! If you enjoy an adrenaline rush and want a unique perspective on the Gold Coast (above, upside down and moving fast), I highly recommend you give this a shot. The views are amazing, the plane is an absolute beast and I personally could not stop laughing in delight at the high g:force stunts. The pilot Mick really took the experience to the next level with a sharp, witty sense of humour and a real passion for flying. He will immediately set you at ease and is a massive value add to the experience. If I could give this 6 stars, I would.

Mick is a true professional, his enthusiasm for flying and in particular aerobatics is simply contagious. The experience from start to finish was one I will never forget, from the detailed preflight information about the Yak 52 aircraft to the amazing manoeuvures performed over the Gold Coast, my expectations were not only met but far exceeded. Already planning my next Yak 52 experience for next year.
