Blue Sky Helicopters

At Blue Sky Helicopters, our mission is to bring the beauty of Sydney and it’s magnificent surrounds to you in safety and comfort. Helicopter flights over the World’s most beautiful harbour and beyond…..Experience the thrill and excitment of a helicopter flight from the spectacular 30-minute City to Surf to day trips visiting the Hunter Valley or Blue Mountains.

Because quality and choice is so important to us, we offer you two options… ‘Private Charter’ or ‘Share with Others’. With Private Charter, passengers secure their own helicopter (minimum 2 passengers required). Share with Others means just that… sharing the helicopter with other passengers (maximum of 4 passengers per helicopter). Both options allow us to give you personalised service and an exceptional ‘Blue Sky’ experience.

To further increase your comfort and enjoyment, our helicopters are equipped with Sennheiser stereo headsets allowing you to talk to your pilot as well as listen to the in-flight music. *We can also guarantee passengers window seats, an absolute must when flying over the World’s greatest City!

Blue Sky pilots are very knowledgeable on Sydney and will give you a personalised narration highlighting the City’s history and sites. We’ve also pioneered the concept of live (real-time edit) in-flight video! We are the only helicopter company in Australia that can offer our passengers the ultimate souvenir of their flight, complete with the narration of the pilot and a magnificent musical soundtrack.

Our custom-built, state-of-the-art digital video cameras are strategically mounted on (and in) the helicopter to capture every breathtaking moment of your flight from you boarding the helicopter to your arrival back at the heliport.

All this… plus communication between pilot and air traffic controller recorded for you to remember your ‘Blue Sky’ experience forever!

*Up to 3 passengers
All flights minimum 2 passengers and maximum 4 passengers.
