Your helicopter tour flies past Melbourne for beautiful aerial views of the city, along Port Phillip Bay over the Brighton Beach Boxes and across Phillip Island passing the San Remo Bridge and GP Circuit.

As you pass the seaside town of Inverloch, the 50,000 hectares of Wilsons Prom National Park will come into view. Picture sandy white beaches packed with granite hills, mountain peaks and acres of natural landscape filled with native wildlife such as wombats, emus and rosellas. 

As you enter Wilsons Promontory National Park be prepared for breath-taking views of Shallow Inlet, Mt Oberon, South Point, the Wilsons Prom Light Station, Waterloo Bay and Sealers Cove as you orbit the national park from the air. You’ll also have a perfect bird’s eye view of Five Mile Beach and the sand dunes at Big Drift, nestled along the Wilsons Prom coastline.
