Highlights - Twelve Apostles & Great Ocean Road Private Helicopter Tour

Set out on a 4 hour adventure of a lifetime, discovering the truly magnificent coastline of Victoria's Surf Coast, Great Ocean Road and the 12 Apostles.

Departing from Essendon Airport we fly past the Melbourne CBD and track southwest towards the Surf Coast. You will follow the Great Ocean Road and fly past iconic Bells Beach and several picturesque towns like Lorne and Wye River.

You will get extraordinary views of remote beaches like wreck beach and the Cape Otway Light station. After about 1.5 hrs we land at the 12 Apostles Heliport.

Here you have time to explore the amazing view and rock formations from the ground. You have the option to go for a short walk of about 7 minutes to Castle Rock lookout or if you feel like a longer hike try the 35 minute track down the Gibson Steps to access the beach.

After the stop we continue in the helicopter and track along the coast to view the 12 Apostles from the air. Before heading towards home through rural inland Victoria.

This tour is an incredible and unique experience that will tick all the boxes.
Available for 2 to 3 passengers, but send us an enquiry if you're looking for a bigger group.
