What Our Clients Have to Say

"What an amazing experience. I purchased this flight for my wife’s birthday. At 91 years old this was a once in a lifetime adventure that we will never forget. We loved viewing the stunning Katherine River, gorge and Edith Falls from above. Highly recommend."

Ian Bruce

"Experience of a lifetime! From the jump, Sonam was super friendly and accommodating, setting the tone for a great experience. The tour was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Amazing knowledge about the Katherine gorge with insane views throughout the entire 20 minute helicopter tour. Could not recommend it enough!"
