Scenic Helicopter Flights

Take your island adventure to new heights with scenic helicopter flights over Flinders Island. Soaring above turquoise bays, rugged peaks and hidden coves, you’ll gain a breathtaking new appreciation for the island’s wild beauty. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply want to see more in less time, a helicopter scenic flight offers the ultimate bird’s-eye view of this extraordinary landscape.

See the island from a new perspective

Every helicopter scenic flight is an unforgettable experience. You’ll lift off smoothly and watch as the island unfolds beneath you: windswept dunes, glistening beaches, coastal lagoons and the rolling farmland that defines life here.

Each flight is guided by experienced local pilots who know the island’s geography and stories inside out. They’ll point out key landmarks and share fascinating insights into Flinders Island’s geology, wildlife and history. Typical highlights include:

  • The dramatic peaks of Mount Strzelecki National Park

  • The white sands and turquoise waters of Trousers Point

  • The remote northern tip near Killiecrankie Bay, famous for its diamonds and cliffs

  • The winding coastline and rocky outcrops of Palana and North East River

  • Offshore views of the surrounding Furneaux Group of Islands

Personalised experiences

Want to make your scenic helicopter flight even more memorable? Many travellers choose to include extras such as:
