About Us
Rotor One - Brisbane Helicopter Rides 🚁
We're excited to announce our new helicopter rides in Brisbane, with the same exceptional service and unforgettable experiences we're known for in Melbourne.
Our Brisbane helicopter rides are the ultimate way to explore Brisbane's iconic landmarks from Brisbane CBD and the Story Bridge, to the famous Moreton and Stradbroke Islands. For something more intimate, escape to a winery lunch in the Granite Belt wine region, or land on a private beach for a romantic helicopter picnic.
We believe a helicopter ride is more than a flight — it's a breathtaking adventure that you'll remember for a lifetime.

What Occasions Are Helicopter Experience Gifts for Mum Ideal For?
Helicopter experience gifts are a great way to show your mum just how much she matters to you, and it really doesn't matter what day of the year it is.
Special occasions or otherwise, helicopter flights and tours feature a unique blend of the thrill of flying in the sky with the luxury of being treated to something special - combining for the perfect experience.
Mother's Day
Show the woman who gave you life that she matters most. This Mother's Day, forget the chocolates, flowers, and gift baskets - let her discover the joy of flying high in the sky in a bird of prey - whether it's a scenic flight over the Brisbane River, a tour of North Stradbroke Island, or a winery flight (gourmet wine and food included).
Birthday
Surprise mum on her birthday with one of the best gifts in all of Australia, a helicopter tour to a winery and restaurant where she doesn't have to do any of the cooking herself. Treat her to one of the best meals in the world, an amazing wine experience, and the opportunity to have fun flying in a helicopter - talk about spoiling mum this year!
Christmas
Christmas is always a special time in Queensland, but you can make it even more special with an experience gift like a helicopter tour.
She'll love getting to sit in a plush seat with noise-cancelling headsets, while she flies past some of the biggest and best landmarks in Brisbane and Australia. Let her enjoy Christmas with a gift she'll never see coming.
Anniversary
If your parents have an anniversary coming up, then there's really no better way to celebrate in Brisbane City than with a romantic experience.
Rotor One offers helicopter flights with included picnics on the beaches of Stradbroke Island, as well as a number of amazing tours to locations such as Spicers Peak Lodge - complete with the option to stay the night and enjoy a variety of relaxing amenities, like a full-fledged spa.
Every Other Day of the Year
Remember, mum is special, and simply put, she deserves to let her hair down and not worry about the stress of everyday life. Whether it's a Monday or a Sunday, every day makes for a great opportunity to explore Brisbane from a bird's-eye view.
Taking a Helicopter Ride with Mum - They're Unique Experience Gifts
You might be wondering why a gift voucher for a helicopter tour this Mother's Day is such a good idea. Well, there are plenty of reasons, with the biggest one being the fact that she's probably never flown in a helicopter - but there's so much more to it than that.
Create Lasting Memories
One of the biggest attractions of a helicopter experience is that it creates wonderful moments - memories that last a lifetime. When it comes to memorable moments in Australia, there's nothing quite like flying over the Tangalooma Wrecks for fun or sitting down at a winery for a bottle of wine after a thrilling helicopter ride.
Experiencing Something New
If mum loves doing new things, and she's always dreamed of riding in a chopper, then taking a flight to one of the many destinations that Rotor One offers is a prime choice. The simple fact is that although she may have already seen a lot of Queensland, Australia, she's probably never seen it from this vantage point. It's a great way to experience the same locations from a new perspective.
It's Not the Same Old Song and Dance
Okay, so flowers, chocolates, a card, and maybe a nice dinner are fine, but that's about it. If you want to go above and beyond for the woman that raised you, it's time to get something special and unique. Treat her to something she never thought she'd get to do. The bottom line is that doing something new is always fun - it gives mum a chance to explore and move outside her regular comfort zone.
A Chance to Take Amazing Photos
Mums love taking family photos, and what better way to do so than right in a helicopter - or at a winery, beach, or restaurant after touching down? Treat your mum to views that will blow her mind, and be sure that she remembers to bring her camera, because there's really no better place to take photos than from thousands of feet up in the air. If mum thinks she has great photos of Brisbane now, just wait until she gets to snap shots from the cockpit of a bird of prey.
Spending Quality Time with Mum
In reality, any day you get to spend with mum, having fun, relaxing, and possibly enjoying a glass of wine, is a perfect day. Remember, mum won't be here forever, and that means that spending special quality time with her now matters more than anything in the world. Getting to spend time with mum is exactly why this is one of the best gift ideas out there.
Upgrade Her Day with an Amazing Tour
Give your mum a thrilling yet relaxing day by taking her on the helicopter tour she never thought she needed! Fly to an award winning winery, enjoy a scenic flight, or tour one of the many islands around Brisbane - the possibilities are virtually endless.
Types of Helicopter Experience Gifts for Mum
Taking your mum out for some high teas might be fine on a rainy Sunday, but for any other day, it's a helicopter ride that she needs. Worth noting is that Rotor One offers many different types of helicopter rides that mum and the whole family can enjoy. Here are all the types of helicopter experience gifts that your mum can head out on.
Scenic Flights
Rotor One offers a number of scenic flights in Brisbane, with one of the most popular ones being the Brisbane City scenic flight, along with the Brisbane City, beaches, and coast tour, among many others. These types of short scenic tours are great for the mum that wants to see something new and have a bit of fun, but doesn't want to spend all day out.
Island Tours
Another highly popular helicopter experience that's a perfect choice for mum is the helicopter island tour. Take mum on a tour over North Stradbroke or Moreton Islands, where she'll get to see glimmering waters and sandy white beaches, and so much more. These islands are full of natural wonder! Take her to Fraser Island and the Kingfisher Bay Resort so she can visit one of the most renowned resorts in Australia.
Picnics
Rotor One also offers a special picnic flight. This flight goes from Brisbane to North Stradbroke Island, where a gourmet picnic hamper and bottle of wine awaits mum and her special somebody. Have her enjoy a range of artisanal treats, a bottle of wine, and spend some intimate time with the man in her life. It's a great anniversary present for both mum and dad!
Pub Crawls
Pub crawls aren't just for men - mum can enjoy them too. Have her visit a range of iconic local bars and taverns to sample some brews and classic pub fare, with the Straddie Brewing Co. being a prime example. Take her from one bar to the next with the convenience of a helicopter.
Winery Flights
If you want to give your mum the experience of a lifetime, take her on a winery flight to the Overflow Estate or Beechmont Estate. These, among several others, are award winning wineries that Rotor One flies to - complete with included gourmet multi-course meals and wine tastings. Talk about a relaxing and luxurious day!
