What an amazing experience!! ššÆā¼ļø š¤Æ Had the privilege of flying over Sydney š¦šŗ šš¤š½ What a view from up so high. Thanks Rotor One and team for making the experience so exciting and being so accommodating on this trip! Will definitely be looking you up again when Iām in Melbourne for another amazing flight over a different city š!! šš¤ÆššÆā¼ļø

Amazing experience. I flew my wife and daughter family around Sydney Harbour on a helicopter ride. I felt safe and comfortable in the air conditioned chopper. There was a short safety briefing at the start, and the highlight was definitely seeing Sydney from above.

It was a really great experience for both of us. Big thanks to Rotor One and Ed for making it one of the best memories of our lifetime.
