We celebrated my husbands birthday with the "Picnic in the Sky" experience, and it exceeded all our expectations! Jake, our pilot, was fantastic—professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. He made the flight enjoyable and ensured we had an incredible time.

The views from above were nothing short of spectacular, offering us a unique perspective of the Hunter Valley. The visit to Kawal Distillery was a delightful addition to our adventure, where we learned about their distilling process and sampled some of their spirits.

Flying to Kawal Rock on their property was another highlight. The breathtaking scenery provided the perfect backdrop for our celebration. The picnic lunch was very delicious.

Overall, the "Picnic in the Sky" was an unforgettable experience that we would highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique and memorable way to celebrate a special occasion. Thank you to Jake and Louise of Kawal Distillery for making this day so special!

Two separate HVH bookings this week. First one was a half hour trial lesson experience in the R22 for the Mrs. As expected, Grayson was confidence inspiring and utterly awesome. Taking the doors off the aircraft is genius. The Mrs has raved about this ever since. Second booking was for wine tasting and lunch the next day. Jake landed the R44 at our accommodation bang on 10am before whisking us off to McCaffrey's Estate for an hours tasting session. Then off to The Gates at Leogate for a 2 hour lunch before bringing us back to our accommodation. An utter gentleman and a fabulous pilot. Thank you both so much. This was not our first experience with HVH, nor will it be the last.

21st birthday gift This was my 21st birthday gift for my Granddaughter.
It was her first helicopter experience & she loved it.
The views were amazing & James described where we were all the time.
Very professional & thoughtful.
Thank you for making her day a memorable one

I organised this as a suprise Xmas gift for my partner.
The booking process was super easy with the itinerary planned over the phone then confirmed via email.
The day was beautiful with a quick tour over the hunter valley then 3 stops to different wineries with wine tastings booked for us alongside a lunch booking.
Would highly recommend the wine tour via helicopter.

20 minute helicopter 🚁 ride Absolutely loved it,
Pilot was friendly and helpful, I have mobility issues and he helped me physically access the chopper.
Trip was only short but. Helicopter ride was a bucket list item for me.

My boyfriend and I had the absolute pleasure of experiencing the Scenic Hunter Valley Heli Flight and 3-Course Lunch, and it was nothing short of extraordinary!

Our pilot, Adam, was incredibly friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. He took the time to point out key landmarks from above. We felt safe and comfortable throughout the journey.

We chose The Gates Restaurant for lunch. The food was delicious and the service was impeccable.

This ride exceeded all expectations and left us eager for another flight ☺️

From the moment we arrived, the team made us feel welcome and excited about our flight. The helicopters were in pristine condition, and the breathtaking views of the Hunter Valley were nothing short of spectacular. Grayson and Jake’s friendly nature and detailed knowledge of the area added an extra layer of enjoyment to our journey.

Great experience I would do a lot and I learnt a lot.

Hunter Valley Helicopters offers an unbeatable way to experience the stunning Hunter Valley Wine region with a Birds Eye perspective of Australia’s beautiful wine producing region.

We enjoyed a guided tour of the valley, followed by an incredible lunch at the Esca restaurant at the Bimbadgen winery which included being flown in and then picked up afterwards - unbeatable!

Excelent This was a Birthday treat for my amazing partner Susan and it exceeded both of our expectations in spades. The experience will last a lifetime as a great romantic milestone in our journey together. A fantastic and memorable experience elevated by the standard of service and friendliness of staff throughout. It far exceeded any expections I had, the meal (with the excellent wines) was excellent, not hurried and in a fantastic location with great service and view. The Flight and ground crew were friendly helpful and went out of their way to make it truly memorable experience. I thoroughly recommend Hunter Valley Helicopters for their service, professionalism and the cleanliness and appointment of their Helicopters plus thir choice of lunch venues. It couldn't have been better.

We had an awesome experience with these guys. I booked a trial introductory flight for my partner for his birthday. The weather was bad so they let us change the date at no extra cost on the day we were supposed to go. The pilot was great and we got to sit and watch them take off and land up close. All up would go through these guys again. Thanks

Best experience Loved the view from the air of the beautiful hunter valley vineyards. James our pilot was lovely. Very knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble. Really looked after us. We had a great time. Next time we will book for longer! Recommend.

Fun with friends This was a great experience! The pilot was skilled and friendly. The scenery was green and beautiful to fly over.

Memorable On Sunday 8/1/2023 for a surprise for my sons birthday I took him on a helicopter lunch package over the Hunter valley . The staff were amazing and helped with the surprise to not telling him where he was going. We were welcomed by Micheal and he was just lovely very easy to talk to and I watched as he interacted with other customers, he was just amazing, after our safety brief we were off. Grayson our pilot was fantastic, very knowledgeable of the Hunter, very easy to talk to and no problem with answering our questions. Micheal and Grayson made our day. Our lunch at Blaxland inn was great. The staff there were very nice and professional.
I most certainly would recommend Hunter valley helicopters for any special occasion. The are brilliant. Happy flying. Definitely check out what they have available

Such a fun experience! 10/10 experience. Nick our pilot was friendly and very informative. Beautiful views of the valley and wineries, very unique way to do a winery tour. Would recommend to anyone!
