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 went on the White Mountains NP & Porcupine Gorge Scenic Flight with Dave as our pilot. He was very accommodating with our young kids (5 & 3yrs) and flight time. He was able to work with covid restrictions to provide a safe flight and also brought the cheese & crackers that went down well at the bottom of the White Mountains. Seeing the national park and gorge from above and hearing all Dave's knowledge of the area was one of the most amazing experiences and a definite must do.

Wow ! fantastic - better by air! We decided on the porcupine gorge and the White Mountain flight with the landing on the sand stone. We also opted to have no doors on the front passenger seat so that our photographs and videos were not hindered. Brett our personal helicopter pilot had an unsurpassed knowledge of the region pointed out points of interest - his interest and knowledge of the region is to be commended. He is very keen to please his customers and made the whole experience especially good by pointing out possible walks for us in the porcupine gorge for the next day! I would say that the experience was the Australian equivalent to the Grand Canyon in the US. Thank you Brett we have recommended you to friends who are heading to Hughenden. Thank you once again - you made it great for us!

It is so exciting to receive reviews like you have provided after your recent flight with Brett . Brett is a great guy , and a wonderful contributor to the experience during the flights over the National Parks. Your comparison with the Grand Canyon is true with Porcupine Gorge known as Australia's little Grand Canyon . Thankyou for taking the time to review your flight with Brett and Fox Helicopters . Travel safe and see you again one day soon

We had the doors off as we flew over Porcupine Gorge and then White Mountains National Parks which made for some excellent photographic opportunities (make sure you are rugged up as it is cold up there). Brett’s knowledge of the area and friendly manner was very much appreciated. Morning tea beside Flinders River was delightful as was the opportunity to take a walk.

I was born and raised in the Hughenden district and now live in NSW, but until now I have not had the opportunity to explore this magnificent country from the air. The flight with Fox was a great opportunity to do this! It was thrilling to see this ancient landscape where once roamed prehistoric creatures and to see the lava flow from ancient volcanoes. The pilot, Isaac was professional and safety conscious. He really puts you at ease and goes to a lot of trouble to make sure you are comfortable and enjoying the flight. From start to finish this was the highlight of my recent trip to North Queensland. Thanks Fox Helicopters!!

Highly recommended. We did the combo of Porcupine Gorge and White Mountains with drinks and snacks once landed in a remote gorge. The whole experience was brilliant and very well organised. We have done helicopter scenic tours in WA, NT, QLD and NZ. Fox Helicopters are right up there in comparison to the bigger operators, including safety communication, included value, etc. Hot tip; doors off is awesome.

Gday Scott, Porcupine Gorge and White Mountains are such a wonderful experience .It is rare to find two such diverse Parks so close to each other. So little is known about White Mountains as a truly remote area .Our team is very passionate about showing these areas to our visitors. Thank you for your positive comments and we hope to see you again soon. Travel safe Kind Regards David and the Fox Helicopters team

My mother and I had a wonderful flight with our pilot Brett. We didn’t think she would be able to fly but Brett was very understanding and helpful as my mum recently had a hip replacement. Brett was able to take the door off the helicopter and helped her get in and out with the use of a stepper.

What a great day! We combined the Porcupine Gorge with the White Mountains flight. We would definitely recommend this combination. It was a perfect day, our pilot Danielle was fantastic and helped make the day special. We flew over spectacular country which cannot be explored by any other means. Our thanks to Danielle, Brett and Fox Helicopters for an unforgettable experience.
