The wildlife we saw along the way was just incredible seeing all of this from the air gave us a completely unique perspective.
We can’t recommend Great Ocean Helicopters highly enough and will absolutely be booking with them again in the future.
From the very beginning, the booking process was seamless and easy. Aimee and Nathan were fantastic, friendly, professional, and clearly very experienced, which made us feel completely at ease from start to finish.
The day itself was unforgettable. We were picked up directly from Kingfisher Bay Resort and taken on an amazing journey across K’gari. We covered so much of the island, including the southern lakes, 75 Mile Beach, Eli Creek, the Maheno shipwreck, Butterfly Lakes, Indian Head, and the Champagne Pools. Flying over the dense rainforest and the varying ecosystems was absolutely amazing and added a completely different perspective to the experience. We stopped for lunch at Orchid Beach before continuing on over the Marloo wreck, up to Sandy Cape and the lighthouse, across the northern end of the island, and back via Platypus Bay, Moon Point, and Big Woody Island.
The wildlife we saw along the way was just incredible, dingoes walking along the beach, stingrays and eagle rays in the water, sharks, huge bait balls of fish, and even a lone whale. Seeing all of this from the air gave us a completely unique perspective.
This experience was the highlight of our trip. The combination of breathtaking scenery, abundant wildlife, made it a truly special day.
We can’t recommend Great Ocean Helicopters highly enough and will absolutely be booking with them again in the future.
I would highly recommend this to anyone that wanted to get some spectacular photos and have some memories of a lifetime.
Great flight with heaps of local knowledge and insights. Nathan was more than happy to point out any of the local sights and provide background info.
Saw lots of local sea life and cannot rate this experience too highly.
Don’t hesitate, jump in, you will love it.
Nathan was beyond incredible while on the flight. He was professional but also very friendly and easy to talk to. Nathan was very informative on the flight and pointed out more locations than what was mentioned on the flight plan. Nathan went above and beyond to ensure we saw the whales that were shortly in the distance.
Once again I could not recommend this place enough for a helicopter flight.
Thanks again for such a great flight experience from the initial query to the safe landing. Would do it again in a heartbeat.
The flight was amazing. Would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone heading to Hervey Bay or the surrounding areas.
Also, shout out to Aimee and Nathan for being so friendly. 😊😊
But the sky shined later and thanks to the awesome pilot we would see such breathtaking landscapes!
Hervey Bay and Fraser Island are two of the most stunning places I’ve visited.
We would definitely fly with them again.
Thanks Nathan and Aimee.
Aimee and Nathan were awesome to deal with and really go out of their way with custom package deals to suit your needs or special events. A truly amazing experience all round, I will definitely be referring to everyone we know.
We booked our flight with a days notice and Aimee was so helpful and friendly making sure all our needs were met. We had come back from Fraser Island wanting to see the whales from the sky as oppose to Fraser Island itself- Aimee tailored a flight to suit us perfectly at no extra cost to the ones advertised. Nathan piloted the flight and was excellent. He explained everything we saw and could answer all our questions.
An experience to remember, will be coming back next year to experience whale season in full bloom!
Would really recommend this, the views were fabulous.
This was a wonderful birthday gift to experience with two special friends .
The warm ,friendly and accomodating service provided by Aimee and Nathan (owner/operators) ensured that our "Taste of Fraser" tour was everything we hoped for and more
Thanks again for a truly memorable experience,
Aimee and Nathan run an extremely professional business from the first phone call through to the end of flight photos.
I could not fault a single thing about the service they offer and the absolutely incredible experience we had.
Thank you both so very much for allowing my family and I to gift my mum this amazing experience for her 80th birthday.
Will definitely be spreading the word and doing it all over again in the future.
My teenaged kids and I took the 35minute flight over Fraser taking in Lake McKenzie, Eli Creek, the Maheno wreck, many other lakes, creeks and swap lands and then back from the east coast of Fraser Island over the west coast beaches and back into Hervey Bay.
It was great to view all of that beauty from above after having hired a land cruiser and trekked across those same locations by 4WD on the ground.
Perfect to get the different perspectives.
The operators recommended flying at low tide so we could get a better view of the sand islands and marine life.
Very good call!
Thanks
This is a must do in Hervey Bay. Truly unbeatable.
I took my 82 yr old father (who’s lived in Hervey Bay for nearly 50 years) on a flight with Nathan and he couldn’t believe how outstanding it was - kept saying over and over it’s the best thing he’s done since living there.
Thanks very much Nathan and Aimee. Outstanding.
Highly recommended
