Where a Brisbane Helicopter Experience Gift Will Take You

Aside from the spectacular views of the Brisbane River, Story Bridge, and the surrounding area, the fact is that going on a helicopter tour in Queensland provides you, your family, and loved ones with the opportunity to see and visit some of the most famous attractions and landmarks in the area - all without having to waste time travelling the busy roads of Australia.

Let's find out where a Brisbane helicopter experience ticket will take you.

Brisbane Wineries

If you're looking to mix some of the most breathtaking views in Brisbane with some of the best-tasting wines, going on a helicopter tour to any one of Brisbane's many wineries will not disappoint.

Fly out of the city and through the sky, passing over farms, wine country, and more, until you land at some of the most famous wineries in the area.

Options such as the Overflow Estate 1895, Spicers Peak Lodge, and Beechmont Estate are all prime options. Gift the promise of great wine, delicious food, and aerial views that just can't be beat.

Brisbane City

One of the most classic Brisbane experiences to be had in Queensland is a simple yet thrilling Brisbane City helicopter tour.

Soak in the views from 1,000+ feet in the air and see everything from the Brisbane River and the CBD to Story Bridge, Suncorp Stadium, the Gabba, Mt. Coot-tha, and much more.

With a helicopter tour of the Brisbane CBD, you can get a week's worth of sightseeing done between dawn and night. It's ideal for locals and visitors alike - for anyone who wants to see the city from a new angle - on a clear day, you'll even get to see the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast.

Moreton Island

If you want to avoid the same boring high tea experience, and you'd rather give the gift of a Brisbane adventure, a flight to Moreton Island might just be the treat that everyone needs.

This makes for such a great gift, and such a fun place to visit, thanks to its glassy lagoons, long beaches, and massive sand dunes.

When flying above, you'll get to see Mount Tempest, Cape Moreton Lighthouse, and a sweeping desert with sandhills as far as the eye can see. It's one of the best local attractions - one that people from all over the world go to see.

Stradbroke Island

Another island worth taking the time to explore is Stradbroke Island, North Stradbroke Island to be exact. This patchwork of calm coves, tea-tree lakes, and ocean cliffs make it a fantastic place to be.

Amity Point, Brown Lake, Blue Lake, Cylinder Beach, Frenchman's Beach, and the North Gorge Walk make for a day of adventure.

Rotor One even offers a Stradbroke Island beach picnic experience, complete with gourmet platters, premium wine, and the option to include a proposal setup for that special somebody - talk about an amazing gift!

Tangalooma Wrecks

If your gift recipient likes to explore, take them to the Tangalooma Wrecks via helicopter.

This striking chain of sunken shipwrecks shows just how dangerous sailing in the past was, and although the shipwrecks are covered by a thin layer of water, it's crystal clear and the wrecks are just below the surface, making everything easy to see.

When you travel there by air, you'll likely get to see animals such as manta rays, turtles, and dolphins - plus you might even get to do a bit of impromptu whale watching as well.

Fraser Island and Kingfisher Bay Resort

Fraser Island, known to the locals as K'gari, is the world's largest sand island, a truly spectacular sight to see - a once in a lifetime experience. Cruise in a state-of-the-art helicopter and take in the dunes, beaches, and rainforest all in one go.

On the ground, you'll get to see Lake McKenzie, Eli Creek, Champagne Pools, and so much more.

There's always the option to have a gourmet picnic and even stay the night at the Kingfisher Bay Resort - a wonderful island resort that serves as a peaceful escape from the business of everyday life.

Brisbane Pubs

If you have a dad or anyone else that loves their beer, then going on a helicopter pub crawl around Brisbane really is the perfect experience gift.

Let Rotor One take you to the Butter Bar, Straddie Brewing Co, the Sanctuary Cove Tavern, Eagle Heights Hotel, the Bearded Dragon Hotel, and more.

Cruise into each location in an impressive chopper and head to the bar stools to try some of the best brews that Australia has to offer.

Why Give a Helicopter Experience Gift?

Something we should mention is why helicopter experience gifts are so popular and such a great choice as far as gift-giving in Australia is concerned. Let's find out why experience gifts like these just can't be beat.

Quality Time Matters

The simple fact is that an experience gift like a helicopter tour lets you spend time with the people you are purchasing these gifts for. Instead of an object that the recipient can only enjoy by themselves, why not making it a time of fun and laughter? Sharing moments together is about quality time with friends and family, and that's what you get with an experience gift like a helicopter tour.

Making Memories

Perhaps the number one reason to get an experience gift is because it creates memories. Not only will you remember spending time with those that matter most, but you'll also have unforgettable memories from the day itself - whether it's a scenic flight, a tour to a winery, a helicopter beach picnic, or a pub crawl where you fly from one location to the next.

It's Something New and Different

Something else to consider is that although material gifts are perfectly fine, sometimes it's hard to find the right gift for someone, and even if you do, there's no guarantee that it won't end up in the back of a closet just a few days later.

With an experience gift like a helicopter tour, there's no chance of that happening. It's always something new and unique, and that's what gifts should be all about. There are a range of activities and destinations, whether having a premium glass of wine at a Brisbane winery or exploring the Tangalooma Wrecks - it's always great fun!
