Loved every minute Incredibly fun day out! Our guide, Nick, was very comforting and highly skilled while keeping the experience relaxed and entertaining for our group (even as the wine started to kick in over the day). Would highly recommend anyone with a group to give this a go!

A Wonderful Wine Tasting Adventure It was a wonderful experience to combine a memorable adventure with some lovely wine tasting in the Hunter Valley. The views were amazing and our guide Travis was awesome and made the whole experience so enjoyable.

Amazing ride! James is very professional pilot and I highly recommend for the ones who are visiting hunter valley to go for a heli ride with James worth the money and safe,

A very special experience Absolutely amazing experience. Our pilot Travis was so wonderful. Although the first winery was plush, the tasting was a let down as the host was not attentive. We fed this back to Travis. We then were taken to Thomas Wines and wow what a wonderful time we had with Brodie. We felt safe. We got an amazing view of the Hunter Valley and we bought wine.

Our dual 60th birthday celebration was a Wine and Waves flight over the Hunter Valley, Lake Macquarie, Swansea Channel, Blacksmiths Beach up the coastline to Newcastle and returning to the Hunter Valley.

We had an extremely foggy morning and our pilot Travis arranged to reschedule once the sun was out and the fog burned off.

We live in Lake Macquarie, so loved taking this flight over our own backyard. Lake Macquarie, while beautiful from the ground is spectacular from above.

I highly recommend Hunter Valley Helicopters and our wonderful pilot, Travis.

Birthday Surprise Great view over the Hunter Valley and great guide for information.

Great way to see the Humter Wine Region and options for longer flights over the ranges and the pilot was very informative pointing out the larger wineries and attractions. Seamless booking experience online or in person and had no issues speaking to them direct via phone. Very worth it and prices start at very reasonable rates and many options depending how long or how much you want to see. The pilot was great and without prompting offered to take pics of us in front of the helicopter before we took off. Definitely give it a go and great value for money.

Our experience with Hunter Valley Helicopters was absolutely incredible! They were fantastic at accommodating our larger group, making everything run smoothly from start to finish. Jake, our pilot, was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole experience so much fun. The flights were a real highlight of our weekend, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Hunter Valley Helicopters for an unforgettable day!

WOW 😲 , AMAZING Absolutely amazing experience, definitely returning for another.
I took my son for a quick ride as a last minute before school returns.
He went as co pilot
Best experience, would highly recommend to everyone of all fitness levels.
If my nan was still with us I would have taken her up next week for the amazing experience it is ,Guide had great area knowledge.
Definitely 5 star

Great experience We did the Picnic in the Vines trip and would definitely recommend it. Adam the pilot was great. The picnic at Ivanhoe winery was a really enjoyable

Awesome experience What an amazing experience! Unfortunately, on the way to our scheduled helicopter flight, my car battery died just as I was about to leave. I called the pilot, and he was incredibly understanding, telling me not to worry and that we could reschedule once my car was fixed.

After getting my car sorted, we finally made it out for the flight. The pilot was welcoming, friendly, and professional, making us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. The helicopter flight itself was absolutely incredible, with amazing views and a smooth, enjoyable experience from start to finish.

A huge thank you for being so accommodating and making the whole experience stress-free. It was well worth the wait, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable helicopter flight!

Unreal experience today with Adam, my partner surprised me with a helicopter ride and it was amazing! Such a smooth beautiful trip! High recommend :)

We had a great time flying, the pilot with us was awesome. Great activity, though pricing is on the premium end. The fact that little kids are free is awesome.

I have had the pleasure of flying with Jake yesterday, having my introductory 1 hour lesson on the brand new Robinson Helicopter R22. The helicopter was clean and ready; Jake, my instructor was patient, knowledgable, and made me feel at ease. The entire experience - from booking, to Mel greeting us as we arrived, and the flight itself, was flawless. The team is professional, accommodating, and provided a seamless experience. I enjoyed my first lesson, and looking forward to having many more hours of flying in the near future.

An incredible way to explore the Wineries! We had the most incredible experience with Hunter Valley Helicopters over the weekend! Our wine tour was unforgettable, made even better by our pilot Jake—he was fantastic, super friendly, and more than happy to answer all our questions and accommodate anything we needed throughout the day.
It was Simon’s first time in a helicopter and he said it was the best thing he’s ever done—definitely a Christmas present to remember! Such a fun, unique way to explore the region.
Highly recommend this to anyone looking for something special—we’d absolutely do it again! 🚁🍷

Ticked off the bucket list…. I went on the ride with two very anxious people wanting to experience a helicopter ride but not sure of the outcome. The time, cost and pilot were very suitable for us. The whole experience was informative and relaxed.

Love this experience Such a great experience. Perfect morning, great view and great safe pilot.

Fly with Hunter Valley Helicopters for an Awesome Experience 👌 What a way to continue celebrating a milestone birthday, helicopter 🚁 experience followed by a 5 course lunch at Hunters Quarters. Thank you to our pilot James for a fantastic helicopter experience and showing us many wineries from the sky.

Beautiful views and being taken to our lunch venue including pick-up made the experience even more spectacular. Highly recommend booking Hunter Valley helicopters for a memorable experience 👌. Thank you again James and for the excellent service.

Amazing experience Had the most amazing day, and lunch. Our pilot Jake was absolutely fantastic, very knowledgeable, informative and friendly

Fantastic way to see the Hunter! A great first experience of helicopter fight for my nervous flyer husband. He loved it.
A beautiful way to see the Hunter Valley from different perspective.
Big banks to the fantastic team at Hunter Valley Helicoptera!

What an absolute best customer service

I was just visiting the airport for the first time (Planespotter) and I was heading into the office to get a business card to add onto my collection and the young man was so kind

When I was just Planespotting just outside the office the same young man ask me if I wanted to get airside to look at the R44 and of cause I said yes.

I went onto the tarmac and had a look at the Robinson

He told me he was going to store the helicopter on the other side of the runway.

When he said, he had to go, he said i could watch him take off behind the yellow line and not behind the tall fence.

Absolute legend you are

Hunter Valley Helicopters were incredibly well organised and truly professional from start to finish. The flight itself was absolutely breathtaking. Our pilot didn’t just fly us over the region — they brought it to life, pointing out key landmarks, hidden gems, and even spotting our accommodation from the air.

Seeing the Hunter Valley from above gives you a whole new appreciation for its beauty — from rugged mountain ranges and vast open‑cut mines to rolling vineyards and iconic attractions. It’s an unforgettable way to experience the region. I can’t recommend it highly enough. A solid 10 out of 10.

Trial introduction flight Very good experience, I did the trial introduction flight with Grayson and he knows his stuff!

My husband and I had a full day experience starting with helicopter flight to a day spa, 2 hours at the day spa then flight to Leogate estate for wine tasting and a three course lunch at the Gates restaurant and another flight back to Cessnock airport. Our pilot Jake was great and pointed out numerous points of interest during each flight. The weather was not the best but we had a great time. Would definitely recommend it

Wine and waves experience It was a very professional atmosphere from start to finish. Grayson our pilot was very informative about the helicopter and the scenery. We saw the lake, beaches, harbour and vineyards and the commentary and views were absolutely amazing. Would definitely recommend.

Wonderful Experience - more than five star excursion! We had a wonderful experience. From booking process and mail exchange everything was perfectly handle by Jake. And what a positive surprise, he was our pilot! Super professional and helpful. The chosen wineries were just perfect. And our highlight was the pick-up and drop-off from our resort!

Helicopter to Bimbadgen for lunch - wow! Excellent experience.
Couldn't fault it.
Pilot Jake was very good, the food at Bimbadgen was wonderful.
Highly recommend!

An unforgettable experience Thank you for an unforgettable experience! You went above and beyond to ensure we had a helicopter that could accommodate all four of us, we truly appreciate the effort. The cheese tasting with the wine pairing was a nice touch. Highly recommend.

Beyond Amazing We had the best time celebrating our wedding anniversary with a High Flyer dining experience that included lunch at Esca at Bimbadgen.

Our pilot Jake was highly skilled and could tell he new the area very well.

We had a wonderful experience with Hunter Valley Helicopters. The team were friendly and communicative, making the booking process easy. We had an incredible short tour of the Hunter Valley, perfect for our 4 year old who had a blast. Thank you for an awesome trip!

Amazing day full of great memories We had the best time and could not recommend HVH enough. Our pilot was highly skilled and went out of his way to make the take off and landing sensational. We included an extra stop (wine tasting) and it was a real James Bond moment landing near the vineyards in front of the testing verandah. We selected a Friday and started at 11.30am and finished back at the airport just after 4.30pm. What a great day.
Looking to create a forever memory - this is one! 11 out of 10.

My first helicopter joyflight gifted to me by my partner was amazing. Definitely the highlight of our weekend. Our pilot, Adam not only gave us extensive knowledge and information about the Hunter, but as aviation enthusiasts, he gave as detailed information about helicopters and flying in the area. Adam was so friendly and accommodating and this ensured our flight was a memorable one. We will definitely do this again in the future. Highly recommend. Thanks so much Adam ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🚁🚁🚁🚁🚁

Anniversary tour My partner and I did the 10 minute tour over the Hunter Valley for our anniversary. It was such an increadible view and experience. Adam was a great pilot with an even better sense of humor! The only thing I would have changed is to have done the longer tour! We would definitely recommend!

Excellent! Such a great way to visit wineries and see the hunter from above. We had an amazing time, thanks Adam! Definitely a must do

Spectacular! We recently celebrated our Anniversary with a "High Flyer Dining Experience" in the Hunter Valley that included a Helicopter joy-flight and lunch at The Gates Restaurant at Leogate Winery, booked using "Red Balloon" Vouchers. Being personally picked up via Helicopter at our accommodation and flown to our lunch destination via a flight over Wine Country was a thrill! After a delicious and delightful lunch (without any specific finish time) we were again picked up and returned to our starting point via Helicopter. Our Pilot, Jake, was professional and friendly. The day was a little inclement, but Jake worked around the weather conditions to ensure we were safe and had clear vistas of the below landscape. Thank you to Jake at Hunter Valley Helicopters and The Gates Restaurant - this was an amazing experience!

Beautiful and scenic helicopter ride Adam was an amazing pilot, very sweet and friendly, and gave us a beautiful tour of hunter valley on our anniversary. It was truly breathtaking and a wonderful experience my wife and I will always remember.

Great experience has to be done we booked a 30 minute flight which took in not only various vineyards in the Hunter Valley, but also across part of the mountains , from the minute we arrived until we left literally had a brilliant time, lots of laughs lots of jokes, and some amazing views, absolutely amazing experience brilliant way to see the Hunter Valley, would absolutely recommend to everyone.

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.
Can thoroughly recommend.

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 ☺️

Great trip. We felt very safe and well looked after. The helicopter trip looking at the Hunter valley from the air was fantastic. The pilot Grayson was knowledgeable about the landscape and the geography we were seeing. We highly recommend this trip

Wonderful experience Our pilot was fantastic! Very knowledgeable about the area. We felt very comfortable and had lots of fun. The views were amazing. I would book this tour again, if you are thinking about doing this, do it! We loved everything about it thank you to our pilot for a fantastic tour

Great quick trip over the Hunter Valley Took our Red Balloon experience today with HV Helicopters, and despite rainy weather, we had a great time! Grayson our pilot was great at pointing out all the places we know in the Hunter Valley from driving, but look so different from the air!

Hunter Valley Flight We had a great flight. Our pilot, Adam, was knowledgeable about the area and the views were beautiful.
Conrad was kind enough to take some photos and was very friendly.

I recently took my team to Hunter Valley for the Chairman’s Elite Retreat, and we had the pleasure of experiencing an unforgettable adventure at Hunter Valley Helicopter.

From the initial contact with Grayson, Jake, and Jacob to planning the route, they have shown care, knowledge, professionalism, expertise, and passion for what they do, which truly sets them apart.

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.

They are both fantastic pilots, ensuring a smooth and safe ride while keeping the atmosphere fun and engaging. Their friendly demeanor and willingness to go the extra mile made the experience even more special.

I highly recommend Hunter Valley Helicopter for anyone looking to elevate their experience in the region. Thank you, Grayson, Jake, and Jacob, for making our retreat truly memorable! We can’t wait to fly with you again! 🥂✈️

Wine and surf Enjoyed our flight very much. Great views and excellent service. Awesome once in a lifetime experience. Would totally recommend Hunter Helicopters.

Hunter valley helicopter Awesome experience! Adam was very friendly and professional. Flight was nice and smooth. We enjoyed the experience ????????

Helicopter ride I recently had helicopter ride experience with Adam and Grayson, such a incredible tour. Both of them were amazing and guided us all the way, very friendly and cooperative. Would visit them again soon.

A really fun experience! The helicopter ride was so exciting and excellent. This will be a moment I never forget! I loved every second of it must visit and fly if you come to Cessnock!

Great experience We had a great trip, very friendly pilot who was very informative of what we ere seeing as we flew around. Would highly recommend this company.

A must do in the Hunter Valley This was a surprise flight for my 8 year olds birthday. The pilot who flew us in the helicopter was amazing. My son had an amazing time and next time we will definitely book the longer one. I just have to remember after reminding my son to not walk around the back of the helicopter ????

We had the most incredible experience with Jacob as our pilot and he’s whole team this weekend at the Hunter. It was my partners first time flying and he made us both feel very safe and comfortable during the experience. We will be using them again

What a day! What a trip! Such an incredible experience from initial enquires to finish. Michael our pilot was sensational: professional, friendly, patient. The team went the extra mile. Highly recommend!!!

We had the most wonderful day with Michael taking us around a few winery’s and helping us with getting the boxes of wine back to the hanger. Highly recommended

The only thing i regret is I didn't do it more! Completely worth every penny! A must do when you are in the Hunter region!

Great Gift Idea This was a gift. Was greeted by pilot on arrival. Gave us a fill explanation of what to expect. Made us feel verry comfortable. Great pilot. Totally recommend.
