Rated 4 out of 5 by Throughly enjoyed the experience I was a little nervous at first, never been into something smaller than a mini before but the pilot and the attendant were great and I soon felt at ease. The views were magnificant, Melbourne is really beautiful from the air. I took quite a few photo's to reflect back on my experience. I want to thank my son for allowing me the opportunity to experience the flight. 14 April 2013

Rated 5 out of 5 by Makes for a good gift. This was a birthday gift for my father. He thoroughly enjoyed it. All went well. The provider contacted me promptly when there was a need for a slight change to the timing. 7 April 2013

Rated 3 out of 5 by Disappointed Hi, The idea of a helicopter ride was exciting until.......We took 3 and half hours to get there then we got lost. we all could not find our way into the airport, there were three cars meeting at Essendon....a map would have been helpful when you send out confirmation> As it was a birthday present for my 60th B'day I was looking forward to the experience only to be put in the middle in the back. Squishy squashy and behind the column in the middle. A no no when you sell a flight allowing a "fantastic view of Melbourne Docklands, The MCG etc" If I wanted to get good photos, I never had a chance. Should provide seating with a VIEW!!!!! I was extremely disappointed and will not be recommending this experience to any of my friends. Flight was clocked less than 15 min from take off to land? 17 March 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Most enjoyable time on a helicopter Quick drive out there to begin with, ample parking. Expedient and professional service with a touch of humor to lighten the mood. Was a great flight over Melbourne, one i shall remember for awhile to come. 12 March 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by AWESOME Friendly staff and a great experience. I would highly recommend to all. 11 March 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Helicopter flight It could have been the best experience if the agreed scheduled time had been met other than being told the time was changed to two hours later. Even on arrival it was delayed a further half hour. 2 March 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Give it a go! The flight circled Melbourne city twice. However, the flight circled twice in the same direction thereby restricting your views. Perhaps this was due to flight plan restrictions. The flight was late to depart due to the late arrival (~25 mins) of two, young and non-apologetic passengers causing me to miss an appointment. The staff were excellent; courteous, polite and informative. 26 February 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Awesome Time!!!! What an amazing day, starting of with Melbourne putting on a great 36 deg day. The views of Melb were so much better than expected. 19 February 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Great Birthday Present Idea The staff were really friendly and pleasant. Was easy to book a time at fairly short notice in Feb. really enjoyed the ride, great birthday present, something different to do and gives a unique perspective of the city. 13 February 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Stunning way to see Melbourne As someone who has live here 25 years I have to say this is a truly unique way to see the home city. Took my partner as part of an xmas present after she commented about always wanting to fly in a helicopter. As the friendly staff say, you never really get to see much of Melbourne during takeoff or landing from a plane, not the case here. The flight started past Flemington then over the docklands, headed around St Kilda beach, past the MCG and sports district and several laps around the CBD before coming back in for a landing. At such an altitude and angle you get to see Melbourne in ways you can't see it anywhere else. The views are amazing and the staff are friendly and informative. The pilot was very chatty and encouraged the asking of questions and conversation. The flight only lasts 20mins which is perhaps a fraction short, but you wouldn't want to stay up there too long so maybe shorter is sweeter. Another 5-10mins may have been nice though. Regardless of this both myself and more importantly my partner had a wonderful time, and the next door shops, especially the LaManna supermarket are worth stopping by on the way out too. Thank you kindly to the staff and crew of the experience for a great time. 12 February 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by The experience was an absolute blast I thought the experience was fantastic. The staff were very attentive and friendly from the time I arrived till the time I left. The flight itself was 1st class with the pilot sharing a great deal of information with all in the helicopter. There was plenty of banter during the flight which added to the enjoyment. There was nothing that I disliked about the experience and have already recommended it to many of me friends 11 February 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by An amazing experience! We can not speak highly enough of the excellent service we received from the staff. They were all friendly and great with our 4yo son - who absolutely loved his flight and hearing himself in the headphones! Thank you very much! 7 February 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by this was a great experience thoroughly enjoyed it experience was great from start to finish staff friendly flight was smooth and the views were fantastic would recomend it to anybody 31 January 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Fun for father and son My 6 year old son treated me to a 20 minute helicopter flight over Melbourne. Wonderful staff explained the experience and set my son at ease. Cries of "wow!" were soon coming from my son... and his father. The mechanics of the flight were explained simply, and the sights of Melbourne identified and highlighted as we passed over them. Truly a wonderful experience with a wonderful crew! 30 January 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Fantastic experience A thoroughly enjoyable trip, I was amazed at how much you could see. Melbourne looked wonderful from up there, I was sitting in the front and was able to take some incredible video. The only drawback was the long drive from Pakenham to Essendon, but I guess that was my problem. 23 January 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Fantastic My husband and I enjoyed it so much we highly recommended 22 January 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by friendly staff, beautiful view, amazing experience. This was a gift for my nephew's 21st and we loved it, however we were dissapointed that our once in a lifetime experience was not recorded as we thought it would be. Recomendations to the company: would be nice to make the adventure a little more special by including perhaps drinks on arrival, showing a dvd in waiting lounge about the helicopters eg technical information such as speed, famous people who have been on that helicopter or own a helicopter,etc 22 January 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by This was a surprising experience I was a little bit nervous prior to the flight due to my fear of heights. However, I did hold on the bar as we took off but not for long as I wanted to take some photos and then I just enjoyed the sights. 22 January 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by It was a great experience, by a professional organization Received a voucher and upsized to include two family members. The whole experience was great, the staff were very professional (around saftey) the Pilot provided lots of information about landmarks and history. The experience was quite memorable, would recommend this company. The price is expensive for what is a 20 minute flight, but in most cases it will be a once in a life time adventure. Enjoy!! 20 January 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Very nice birthday present Different type of birthday present to fly over Melbourne in helicopter. The aviation company appeared to be well organised with friendly curteous service. You need to expect to spend more time waiting to fly. It would also be nice to fly on the helicopter that has video cameras to record your flight. All in all a great experience. What a great city Melbourne is to see from the sky 18 January 2013

Rated 5 out of 5 by THIS WAS FANTASTIC WOOH WOOH WOOH. WHAT AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE. WAS A BREATHTAKING JOURNEY & HAD THE TIME OF MY LIFE. HAD WANTING TO DO THIS FOR MANY YEARS & FINALLY GOT AROUND TO IT & IT WAS WELL WORTH THE WAIT. WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT ANYONE. THINK I'LL EVEN DO IT AGAIN. FANTASTIC 11 January 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Great way to celebrate a birthday! Red Balloon certificate birthday present was a great idea. It gave me all sorts of alternatives, but for me the standout was the helicopter flight over Melbourne. Having a small choice of date and time was a bit restrictive, but reasonable. Administration was excellent, adequate but minimal. But then, the excitement of the flight was special. Just three passengers, fantastic all round view, excellent - to the point - commentary. One disappointment for me was not taking advantage of the availability to purchase a DVD of your flight, but I will next time!!!! The best experience I could wish for in my 80th year! 11 January 2013
