Amazing Experience
One of the best experiences you can have in Melb, see the city and beach from a super low fly around. It was like being in a floating bubble over the city. We all felt safe and entertained throughout the entire flight thanks to Ed who was not only an experienced pilot, but an amazing guide who really made the experience such an amazing one. Thank you so much!

What a amazing experience we had today flying down from Melbourne Via helicopter to the 12 apostles and along the coast including the winery stop over with the most fantastic friendly and experienced pilot Ed.
We cannot recommend this experience more for anyone looking to take to the skies.
Can't wait for our next adventure with Rotor One.
Thanks Ed, you made our special day something to remember for life.

Epic Helicopter Proposal
From first communication to last, Rotor One have been absolutely outstanding; going the extra mile to make both my partners and my special day (Engagement) one of the most memorable times in our lives.
I called a number of providers but ultimately went with Rotor One after having great chats with Eddie, who was clear, trustworthy and transparent. Eddie helped by walking me through the offerings for my engagement, all the while keeping it a secret from my partner.
I opted for the engagement package which was very reasonably priced, it included 30+ minutes in the air, circling the outskirts of the city, the St Kilda and Brighton Beaches, back across the MCG / Tennis Arena and then across towards the beaches of Altona where his team had organised a 50+ ft banner which was sprawled across the land right near the beach. We did a couple of passes and I proposed to my partner who was in shock - all the while Eddie was able to keep me in the loop with timings and locations via radio signals; unbeknownst to my partner.
We landed back at hanger 7, where champagne and a photographer were also on the tarmac waiting for us.
It was a perfect day, one I will never forget - I couldn't recommend the team at Rotor One any higher and both my partner and I will be back for more tours soon!

I bought my father this as a gift as he loves flying and Ed went above and beyond our expectations! He was professional, friendly, informative (he knew lots of fun information about Melbourne!) and made extra touches to make it an even greater experience for us. Thank you Ed for this unforgettable experience - we were so impressed and my Dad raved about it all weekend!

We had experienced a really good flight, the views were stunning. Being this our first flight in a Helicopter I was expecting a hard flight but it was so smooth, Ed is such a good person and pilot, he is so friendly and professional and was too kind helping us with the proposal from the beginning to the end, I really appreciate it. We definitely want to go again and flight with him.
We'd highly recommend this experience.
