Aimee and Nathan were absolutely amazing from the start to finish. Very accomodating and patient with my father who has mobility issues but they got him in the helicopter and he had a great time. Definitely coming back for more rides in the future

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.

I would give a million stars if I could, I think that explains it self. If you are wanting to do a helicopter flight this is the place. Aimee was lovely with a welcoming personality. Aimee made our pre flight experience super easy and smooth.
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 Aimee for being all over it! Communication is always easy and no shortage of flexibility with options. We had our son up from interstate for a whirlwind break so time was of the essence. You guys never fail to deliver - he had a great time and took some spectacular photos!! Highly recommended 😎

Thank you both, Nathan and Aimee for being so accommodating at short notice. My Hubby and I had a great flight yesterday. The best way to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. The flight was absolutely breathtaking and Nathan so professional, informative and experienced. I had my doubts after booking it, thinking "what have I done?" but so so worth it in the end. We walked away saying how fabulous that was.
Thanks again for such a great flight experience from the initial query to the safe landing. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

We had the most amazing experience with Great Ocean Helicopters. Aimee was fabulous to deal with and made all arrangements with our enjoyment her main concern. She selected the perfect day for our 30 minute flight over K’Gari. Our pilot (Nathan) was fabulous and we even spotted whales putting on a show. A big thank you to Aimee & Nathan. We would highly recommend them.

What an experience we had this morning. Did the Fraser Island tour and was looked after by Amy for the booking and Nathan for the flight. Their service was friendly but professional and saw some amazing sights across Fraser Island including a whale and calf sighting. This was our first ever helicopter flight and we felt so safe in Nathan's hands. Great Experience. Highly recommended.

It was bit dreary early today, and kind of worried about the weather.
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.

I was lucky enough to experience a wonderful heli flight for two over K’gari for my birthday last week and I highly recommend these guys to show you how beautiful & amazing this place is from the air. They were super friendly and flexible with time and date and worked around local weather conditions. A photographers dream ????????????

We would definitely fly with them again.
Thanks Nathan and Aimee.

Absolutely amazing experience both on the ground and in the sky and such good value for money.
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!

Great experience from start to finish! Aimee was so helpful over the phone and organised our great tour on very little notice! So helpful and informative at the office too. Nathan then took us over Fraser and tailored our trip so that we’d spot some whales (which we requested prior to our flight). We couldn’t recommend the experience enough, no matter what time of year. Great people!

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
