About this tour
Fly solo above Melbourne in a private helicopter, banking past the MCG, St Kilda's Boardwalk and the Shrine of Remembrance in twenty minutes. You'll rise from the tarmac at 1,200 feet with the city's skyline as your launching pad, swing out over Port Phillip Bay past the Spirit of Tasmania, then trace the coast and landmarks that define the city before banking back toward the CBD. Bose headsets keep the noise at bay while you frame shots of the Yarra River, cricket ground and gardens all at once.

What to expect
You'll walk across the tarmac to meet your helicopter and have time for photos before climbing aboard. Once airborne at 1,200 feet, the city unfolds beneath you—Docklands Marina and the observation wheel slip past first, then you're tracking toward the bay. The pilot banks left along the coast, giving you St Kilda's Boardwalk and Luna Park, then swings back inland over Albert Park's F1 circuit. The Shrine of Remembrance and Royal Botanic Gardens come next, and finally the MCG fills your window with the Yarra River and CBD sprawling beyond it. It's compact enough to stay tight and sharp, long enough to catch your breath.
