Helicopter Rides in Austral.

Will be in Austral in late August. I have never been on a helicopter but have always wanted to take a ride. Any good places to do so in Austral. that the board could suggest?

There are helicopter rides over the Gold Coast and hinterland. I am sure that there are plenty around to fit in with where you will be going. <BR>Enjoy<BR>

Further to Liz's post, there are helicopter rides leaving from SeaWorld at the Gold Coast. Would be a spectacular ride over the beaches, waterways and hinterland.

You might consider taking a helicopter ride over the Great Barrier Reef. Some of my most favorite photos of Australia were taken from a helicopter over the GBR - a whole different perspective. Some GBR reef tours offer a helicopter tour as an added option which is not too costly, as the helo pad is on a barge near the floating dock. One example would be ReefWorld, offshore from the Whitsunday Islands.

I was in Sydney in Aug 2000 and took a helicopter ride with a company called Heliaust (or something like that). They were very professional and offered different kinds of rides ranging from a short as 30 minutes to as long as all day. My brother did one where they flew to him a private home in the mountains for lunch and then back. He said it was one of the best things he ever did!
