Best places to visit in Victoria by Helicopter

Victoria is known for its natural beauty and breathtaking landscapes. What better way to take in the sights than with a private helicopter charter? Helicopter tours are a popular way to see the state, with a few operators offering helicopter rides around Melbourne and bespoke winery tours.

Here are some of the best places to visit by helicopter in Victoria:

1. Yarra Valley: Victoria is famous for its wine, and there's no better way to explore the vineyards than by helicopter. Take in the stunning scenery of the Yarra Valley as you fly to a winery of your choice. Take your time to explore, enjoy a wine tasting and degustation lunch. In the Yarra Valley, helicopters can land at many of the wineries including Balgownie Estate, St Hubert, Meletos & Stones of the Yarra Valley and Levantine Hill, just to name a few.

2. The Great Ocean Road: One of Victoria's most spectacular sights, the Great Ocean Road is a stretch of coastline that is particularly impressive from the air. Follow the beaches, see the Otways from air and fly over the Twelve Apostles, Loch Ard Gorge, and other iconic landmarks for an unforgettable experience. It’s also a great time-saver as a trip by road to the twelve apostles is about 3.5 hours each way.

3. Phillip Island: Just a short flight from Melbourne, Phillip Island is home to penguins, seals, and a host of other wildlife. See the island's rugged coastline and famous surf breaks from above, then land and get up close and personal with the animals.

4. The Grampians: Victoria's rugged mountain range is a sight to behold from the air. Fly over national parks, waterfalls, and rock formations for a bird's eye view of this stunning region.

5. Melbourne City: There's no better way to see Melbourne than from above. Experience the thrill of a helicopter ride over the city's iconic landmarks, including the MCG, Federation Square, and Flinders Street Station. If you are a true adrenaline junkie some operators offer ‘doors off’ Helicopter rides!! Great to take unobstructed photos! Better bring a warm jacket though, it gets fresh up there!

These are just a few of the many incredible places to visit by helicopter charter in Melbourne. Whether you're after adventure, relaxation, or simply a unique perspective on the state's natural beauty, a helicopter charter is an experience not to be missed.
