We had an absolutely amazing scenic flight with Sunshine Coast Helicopters. From the moment we arrived, the team made us feel welcome, relaxed, and well looked after.

Matt, our pilot, was fantastic — incredibly friendly, professional, and provided great service throughout the experience. His calm approach and easy-going personality made the flight even more enjoyable, and his local knowledge added so much to the scenic views.

The flight itself was breathtaking, with stunning views across the Sunshine Coast and a smooth ride from start to finish. We felt completely safe the entire time.

A truly memorable experience and one we’d highly recommend to anyone thinking about a scenic helicopter flight. 🚁✨

A big thanks to Darren and Josh for making our wedding anniversary such a special day. Darren helped with the planning and Josh was our pilot. We flew along the coast, past Noosa and then to a winery for wine tasting and lunch and then to stopped in again to flaxton Gardens for afternoon tea before heading back along the river to the airport. Both guys were extremely professional, courteous and personable and we could not have had a better day. Would thoroughly recommend Sunshine Coast Helicoptor tours for anyone planning a special occasion.

The pub crawl was honestly one of the coolest experiences I’ve had. We kicked off at the Sunshine Coast Airport around 9am, then flew over the Tangalooma Wrecks to the Gutter Bar on Moreton Island. After that, we headed to Stradbroke Island for lunch, and later, chilled out at Sandstone Point Hotel for a drink in the afternoon. Our final stop was Northan Grounds, then we headed back to the airport just before sunset. It was all so well planned and ran smoothly — seriously, one to remember! I’d give it a solid 10/10 and totally do it all again.
Highly recommended!

Rod took our family of 4 up to celebrate our son Will’s 19th birthday. It was extra special for us because he was leaving to join the NAVY to train as a helicopter mechanic only days after our flight. We wanted to do something special for Will (it was a big deal for us with our first born leaving the Sunny Coast where he has grown up) It could not have worked out more perfectly! Not only did we have the most magical experience seeing the our beautiful coast from the air, but Rod took the time to talk to Will about the aircraft and what he can expect in his training. His attention to detail, his warm disposition and professionalism was second to none. Go flying with Rod, you won’t regret it. Thank you Rod, you helped create some special memories for our family - so grateful.

The kids and I had a terrific and memorable hour-long tour in a beautiful helicopter (we even got the upgrade!). Our pilot was professional, knowledgeable, and made the experience extra special by explaining how the Glass House Mountains were formed. It was engaging, safe, and such a great adventure for the kids. Highly recommend!

🌟 A Birthday Gift That Soared Above Expectations! 🌟

We recently had the pleasure of taking a private helicopter tour with Sunshine Coast Helicopters to celebrate my parents’ 80th birthday—and what an unforgettable experience it was!

From the moment we lifted off, our pilot, Rod, went above and beyond to ensure a magical flight. He brought warmth, a wealth of knowledge and humour that kept us entertained and laughing throughout. His passion for flying and the region was infectious.

The scenery was absolutely breathtaking—a sweeping panorama of coastline, hinterland, and sparkling waterways that was nothing short of magical.

I was even able to arrange a surprise stopover, landing at Sandstone Point Hotel on Bribie Island and giving my parents a chance to soak in the moment with lunch and a celebratory toast.

Once we touched back down at Sunshine Coast Airport, my parents described it as “an experience they will never forget”, with my dad summing it up perfectly as “a trip of a lifetime.”

Mission accomplished, Rod!

Thank you, Sunshine Coast Helicopters, for creating such a special memory.

If you're looking for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure with heart, beauty, and impeccable service—this is it.

Best experience!!
I may be biased, a background in aviation and just a huge aviation nerd, but it is a must do!
My partner and I jumped in the As350 and got a beautiful view of the Sunny Coast. Our pilot was friendly, a wealth of knowledge and an all round top bloke.
I would definitely do again!
Thanks guys!

We had a great experience on the flight! Rod was a brilliant tour guide, giving pleasant descriptions of surrounds plus taking us to the beach where our kids where at to give a wave 😄

If I could give 10 stars I would. We all just loved our flight, a great experience we will never forget. We were also very lucky to have spotted a whale. Our pilot Rod was the best!

We had a wonderful flight with Rod today. I can tell you guys, this was a lifetime memory, beautiful view, good company. Rod is such a lovely guy, and fantastic pilot. Rest assured, you will be in good hands in the air. 👍

We booked a Helicopter ride for my Mum for her 80th Birthday as it was on her Bucket list and Rod definitely went above and beyond to make it a fantastic memorable experience for everyone.
I highly recommend Sunshine Coast Helicopters and encourage anybody (at any age) who is thinking about taking a trip to talk to Rod he is fantastic.

Fabulous day out We recently had a fabulous experience with Rod on a trip to Spicers for lunch. He was so friendly, professional and made the day a memorable one. Would highly recommend this wonderful company.

Wow what an experience. The weather was questionable in some areas so Rod worked with it and made our experience amazing. He was so knowledgeable and took us on a great trip. What a great host and amazing person and will definitely be referring and booking again ♥️ What a great setup and fleet of helicopters.

Best day EVER!!! We were lucky enough to have the chance to experience the ultimate pub tour. We had the best day ever flying up and down our coastline stopping at some unique bars and pubs. Our trip was highlighted by having such an awesome pilot. Rod's experience, knowledge, banter and all round fun personality made our day so special.

Thank you so much Rod and Darren. We highly recommend you to put this on your bucket list.

Thanks again Glenn and Sue Gardiner

If you get the chance, definitely book a tour! We flew with Rod and it was sensational! The ride was smooth, we never felt uncomfortable and his knowledge of the area allowed us to learn about all the local sites including some stunning waterfalls! Do yourself a favour and get on a flight, we will be doing it again! We flew on 02/06/2024

We had such a great day from start to finish. It was so easy to book it and communication was great. We did the 3 pub stops and everyone was stunning. Rod gave us a brilliant tour of the mountains and finished off coming down the coast. This is a must do and would recommend highly. Thankyou very much Rod.

This was our first helicopter tour, and it was so good. We did the Southwest Scenic tour for my husbands birthday. Rod our pilot was friendly and provided great commentary. Well organised, felt very safe and loved being able to see the coast and the hinterland. Highly recommend.

Travelling like the queens that we are. We can not recommend Rod and Sunshine Coast Helicopter Tours enough. His professionalism, local knowledge and chivalry has set our expectations very high. If you’re up for an air adventure - Rod is your man. Thankyou so much, the ‘famous’ girls from Melbourne.

Rod was an incredible host and pilot for a special 40th birthday winery tour like no other! We felt like celebrities turning up to the 4 amazing venues by helicopter. A truly unforgettable experience made better by Rod’s warm and entertaining nature! If you want the best in the biz, look no further. Highly highly recommend!

If you’re looking for a helicopter flight whether it be just a quick sightseeing flight or a charter flight I highly recommend Rod and the team at Sunshine Coast Helicopter Tours. We were fortunate enough to fly in the as350 Squirrel on a 40min flight and it was awesome. And don’t skimp on the time you definitely need to do a minimum 40min.

My first ever helicopter ride thanks to my wonderful grandma for taking me. We flew with Rod and he was just exceptional! Very comfortable flight with incredible service and the views of the glasshouse mountains and the coastline were breathtaking. Highly recommend this company.

Fantastic trip! This was a gift for my 95 year old mother. I could not have chosen a better company. Rod was a wonderful host and pilot. Friendly, helpful and caring towards Mum. He even gave her a bonus by allowing us to travel with her due to circumstances beyond his control ! He took photos, helped mum into and out of the chopper and gave excellent commentary throughout the trip. Cannot recommend this company and Rod enough. If you want a different experience look no further! Thank you Rod and his boss as well. We had a great experience!

I didn't know choppers could land on anyone's private (acreage) property, but it was certainly worth asking the question! We made quite a splash in our street and our friends' as well. Rod was awesome right from the get go, organising everything like an expert PA. I use a wheelchair but that was no problem and he knew which destinations could cater to me. Not only that, but he really knows how to fly a chopper. Things were pretty tight at our friend's place so he landed on their driveway, which was a little interesting to say the least. We also did a fly by of a mate's place. I haven't had so much fun in a very long time. I could not recommend this experience or this company highly enough. Thank you Rod!

Best on the Sunshine Coast by far Wow ! What an incredible experience ! Thank you so much Sunshine Coast Helicopter Tours. From the moment we contacted you through to the flight everything was absolutely perfect ! These guys are the absolute best on the Sunshine Coast without a doubt !

Had the most amazing experience!! I want to say a huge thank you to Rod for making our ride so special. This was my first time on a helicopter and definitely won’t be my last. I highly recommend Sunshine Coast Helicopter Tours, it’s such a fun adventure to go on and was the perfect way to end the day.

Can’t recommend Sunshine Coast Helicopter Tours highly enough, an absolute must do. Darren is a pleasure to deal with and wealth of knowledge, pointing out landmarks, whales and dolphins and sharing local history of the coast. Definitely recommend landing and having a meal or a coldie somewhere and then back into the chopper and into the sky, what a blast. Thanks to Sunshine Coast Helicopter tours for a great day, we’ll be back.

Thank you so much, Rod and Sunshine Coast Helicopter Tours! My wife, daughter (Isabelle) and I had a blast this morning, on the Sunny Coast Cyclone. It was such a great treat for the girls and Isabelle loved every moment (as you can see from the after photo!).

Darren was amazing to deal with! Amazing customer service ???? we flew with ron/rod I couldn't hear! Lol. But he made out experience so special! He was amazing from beginning to end. The whole experience was first class. And I will be gifting my kids a helicopter ride with these amazing people for Christmas. Couldn't rate them any higher! Thankyou boys for the experience of a lifetime ???? well done for providing an unforgettable experience!

I booked this for my fiancés 40th birthday and it was one of the greatest experiences well treasure for ever. This was such an incredible experience and Darren went above and beyond, and was so accomodating to make the day extra special for us. Highly recommend and we look forward to our next flight.

Effing Awesome! I recently had the opportunity to take the 30 minute helicopter tour with Sunshine Coast Helicopter Tours and it was an absolutely amazing experience. I was showing off my beautiful home to my friends who are from Hong Kong and I was stoked because Darren made them feel really comfortable. From the moment we arrived at the heliport, the staff were friendly and helpful, making sure we comfortable and had everything we needed before takeoff.

As we soared above the beautiful Sunshine Coast, the views were breathtaking. We were able to see the stunning coastline and beaches in a way that I never could have experienced from the ground. Darren pointed out various landmarks and points of interest as we flew over them, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to the tour.

One of the highlights of the tour was flying over the various estuaries that spill out into the Pacific Ocean, up and down the coast. The views from above were absolutely stunning and I felt like I was getting a true bird's eye view of the region including the hoards of tourists enjoying their Christmas Holidays on the beach and on leisure crafts.

The helicopter itself was top-of-the-line and really comfortable, with plenty of room for all four of us including our bags.

Overall, I highly recommend any tour with Sunshine Coast Helicopter Tours. It was an incredible experience that I will never forget and I would definitely do it again. Whether you are a local looking for a new way to experience the beauty of the Sunshine Coast from a new perspective or a visitor looking for a unique activity to add to your vacation, this tour is a must-do. The staff are friendly and professional, the views are breathtaking, and the whole experience is truly unforgettable. So, it was a great value for money and I would give it a five-star rating.

Awesome experience Awesome experience. I surprised my teenagers with a 30 minute flight & this was the first time we had been in a helicopter. We loved it!

Professional helicopter services gold coast If you are visiting the gold coast, do something that will that you can't experience anywhere else in the world. Piolt Ash Jenkinson took us on a flight from gold coast airport down to byron bay lighthouse and then over to mount warning, accross tamborine and right up to stradbroke before flying down the coast line back to the airport. An amazing 1.5 hour journey that is too magical and amazing for words. I would highly recommend seeing such a beautiful part of the world in this way best birds eye view you will ever have. The pilot has 14 years of experience as you will feel very safe in his competent hands this is a must do, put it on your list .not as expensive as you think and great value for money. Bring your best camera along and enjoy the ride .my merories will last a life time .thankyou Ash and PHS for allowing us to have an experience like that we will be back again..
