Highlights - Melbourne's Landmarks, Bay & Brighton Beach

With this extended tour you will see not only Melbourne CBD and Albert Park Lake, but we will continue low level along the beach to the iconic Brighton Beach boxes.

Just like the Skyline Scenic the flight path will take you over Flemington Racecourse, towards the South Western side of the city. Check out Docklands and Marvel stadium before your flight continues to Albert Park Lake (Famous for the Melbourne GP) and the St Kilda beaches. From here we will extend our flight at low level along the coast all the way to Brighton Beach. See the iconic beach boxes and maybe even some sea life.



Gift ideas

Here are some ideas to make this flight extra special:

  • Kids Co-pilot: Let the Birthday Bean have the front seat. Our pilots are always keen to show them the ropes. (Not recommended for kids under 3)
  • Popping that question: Looking for ideas to propose? Use the flight as a spectacular excuse. We recommend going on one knee before or after the flight. Give your pilot the heads-up and they might be able to assist with your plan.
