Fantastic sight seeing from the sky! - A very friendly and well organised company. Very clear safety instructions and attention to detail. Obviously a company who rates safety as a priority. Perfect weather to see the sights of Sydney, with commentary from our pilot. We saw the Harbour Bridge, the Opera House, Bondi Beach and whales & seals. A fantastic experience for our whole family.

Helicopter ride - Just taken a 20 minute flight over Sydney. It was well worth the cost and a great way to see Sydney. The views were great. A fantastic experience.

The best way to see Sydney harbour and cheaper than walking up the bridge. - We thought of walking the bridge for the view, but then saw the price. We opted for the heli tour instead, which was cheaper, less exhausting and provided more views than you will see from the top of the bridge. I highly recommend it. We were picked up from by our hotel (the Intercontinental) all in the price. We had a private tour with Lauren the pilot who provided commentary on the way.

Middle seat sucks - Really good experience, however I don’t think the back middle seat should be used. Being in the middle with restricted views really detracts from the experience. When you’re spending $250 per person, you want your monies worth.

Unique experience, heli could stay a little longer over the city center - Good experience, the helicopter could have stayed quietly a little longer over the city center but generally a unique experience, you can see well everywhere in the helicopter and the staff are nice.

Disappointing experience, not worth it... - My husband booked this as a birthday gift, but unfortunately, it turned out to be a very disappointing experience. The schedule was not followed, and there was no clear or timely communication regarding the delay. It was evident that proper checks weren’t conducted before the trip—my headset didn’t work at all, so I couldn't hear any of the live commentary from the pilot. It was completely silent throughout. After the trip, when I raised this issue at the reception, the staff response was dismissive and unhelpful. Based on this experience, I wouldn’t recommend this activity to any of my friends.

Not recommend very disappointed - I am very disappointed with the helicopter ride I recently booked with this company. The service was very unfair and unprofessional. Despite requesting to sit in the front seat for my birthday, my request was ignored, and we were placed in seats where the only thing we could see was the ocean. We did not get to enjoy the views that were the main reason for booking this experience, while other passengers were given the best seats. The staff showed no concern for our situation, and overall the service was poor and dismissive. Considering the amount we paid, this was extremely disappointing and far from the experience we were promised.

Total disappointment - We had booked a tour that our children were looking forward to. The day before, my husband had a serious accident and needed emergency surgery. We notified Helitours as soon as possible, but they refused any refund or reprogramming. Their only “solution” is to pay $200 per person instead of $250. The total lack of understanding and empathy in a medical emergency is shocking. Very disappointing and frustrating for a family who just wanted to have a memorable experience.
