Exploring Brisbane’s tourist attractions makes for a wonderful day, but you know what will make it even better? Flying over to them!

Brisbane helicopter rides are perfect with the city’s subtropical weather that brings about 283 days of sunshine. They’re also great for both visitors and Brisbane locals as you see the sunny city from a whole new vantage point. 

Feel the rush of soaring over the bustling metropolis, the lush mountains, and the breathtaking coasts on a Brisbane helicopter tour. Plus, you can book one that also takes you to a quaint picnic lunch, a posh fine dining date, or even to a golf course! 

Here are the Brisbane helicopter rides you should check out:

You know what they say about the best country pubs: the more hidden they are, the better. And we know just where to find them! On the Country Pub Helicopter Experience from Brisbane, all you have to do is sit back, relax, enjoy the ride, and we’ll take you to a thoughtfully selected country pub. There, you’ll enjoy a lovely gourmet lunch and the finest craft beer to go with it. 

This jam-packed Brisbane tour will not only take you over the spectacular sights of South East Queensland but also to a secluded winery in the region. On the Winery Helicopter Lunch, you can venture into the vast greenery of the winery and have a scrumptious gourmet lunch paired with the best wines in the region. Sounds like bloody good boozy time!

Fine dining after a scenic Brisbane helicopter ride? Sign us up! You and your loved ones can enjoy the Fine Dining Helicopter Experience no matter the occasion—dates, anniversaries, birthdays. After sightseeing across Brisbane, you’ll head to a five-star restaurant with views of the surrounding landscapes that exemplify the beauty of the Queensland countryside. 

As we said, Brisbane helicopter rides offer a slew of activities you can do after the riveting scenic ride over the coastal city. On the Heli Golf Experience, you and your best mates can fly over the Scenic Rim’s otherworldly landscapes and national parks and visit three of the region’s state-of-the-art golf facilities. Meant for two to four people, it’s a party for any occasion. The best part, lunch and drinks are on us!

If pub crawls are right up your alley, you’ll have a blast on the Helicopter Pubs Tour. Go pub-hopping with the luxury of air travel. If you’re more of a countryside enthusiast, choose the country pub experience to go to four of the finest country pubs surrounded by nature. But if you’re more of a sand and sea spirit, the coastal pub experience takes you to four pubs by the sea.

Last on our Brisbane helicopter ride recommendations is the Helicopter Gourmet Beach Picnic Experience.
