Popular landmarks you'll spot over Brisbane during your surprise proposal flight
Your 25-minute scenic helicopter flight flies over more than 10 famous landmarks, and you decide exactly where you'd like to pop the question over your or your partner's favourite spot in Brisbane.
Your flight path will cover:
- Depart Archerfield Airport
- Mt Gravatt
- University of Queensland campus
- Brisbane River
- Story Bridge
- Southbank
- Suncorp Stadium
- Gabba (Brisbane Cricket Ground)
- Mt Coot-Tha
- Kangaroo Point Cliffs
On clear weather days, it's not uncommon to have spectacular views out to the Gold Coast, Moreton Island, and Mount Tamborine in the distance.
What to expect on your surprise proposal flight over Brisbane
Once you arrive at our hangar, our dedicated staff will guide you to our lounge, where you'll enjoy a glass of champagne while your pilot prepares the helicopter.
Our pilot will pull you aside to discuss where you want to propose. He'll help you create the perfect moment to pop the question. You'll receive two secret radio calls from your pilot. One radio call when you are 5 minutes away from the landmark and a final call when it's time for you to propose. The only thing you need to do is look at your partner, say your romantic speech, and ask the magical question, "Will You Marry Me?"
Stepping out of our passenger lounge at Archerfield Airport, you'll feel the excitement as your helicopter is waiting for you on the tarmac. Your Pilot will guide you into your private aircraft, and you'll immediately notice the leather seats and noise-reducing headphones that promise a comfortable flight.
As your helicopter lifts off, Archerfield Airport will quickly shrink beneath you as your flying experience begins toward the first point of interest, Mt Gravatt. From the air, it's clear how big this ancient volcanic peak really is, and as you pass around the summit, you may notice beautiful views of the Gold Coast skyline in the distance.
Your helicopter will then bank toward the University of Queensland campus in St Lucia. The sprawling campus dates back to 1909 with its distinct sandstone buildings. As you weave overhead the Brisbane River, your next landmark is Brisbane's iconic Story Bridge. This steel cantilever bridge is a central part of the city's identity and one of only three bridges in Australia that people can climb.
Next, fly over the Gabba (Brisbane Cricket Ground) and Suncorp Stadium where, on a game day, you might be lucky enough to snap a photo of a 52,500-strong crowd enjoying a cricket match or Aussie Rules game.
You'll then fly past the summit of Mt Coot-Tha, the tallest peak in the city. From here, you can expect panoramic views of Brisbane City and, on a clear day, Moreton Bay and Tamborine Mountain in the distance.
Finally, you'll fly over Kangaroo Point Cliffs, a popular spot for rock climbing and abseiling. The cliffs glow a warm golden hue in the setting sun, a perfect end to a breathtaking flight.
The most amazing thing is our onboard HD camera will record your entire flight, from the moment you step onto the helicopter to the moment you pop the question. We'll also take the time snap some photos with the helicopter once we're back on the ground, or as an option, you photographer will be waiting on the ground to direct your professional photoshoot.
Enjoy $350 worth of free gift vouchers for a wedding or honeymoon helicopter experience as an extra token of appreciation.
Extend your flight and fly over the Gold Coast (+35 minutes flight time)
Enhance your experience with an extended 60-minute flight over the stunning Gold Coast. Soar past golden beaches, the glittering skyline of Surfers Paradise, and lush hinterlands as your pilot descends to 500ft for a breathtaking view of the coast. Witness iconic landmarks like Q1, Broadbeach, and Southport Spit as you make this proposal flight even more unforgettable. This is the perfect upgrade if you'd like your flight to last even longer.
Special Add-On: Professional Engagement Photographer to capture your special moment with the helicopter (+$600)
We partner with a professional wedding and engagement photography company to capture your special moment on camera. They specialise in proposal photos and have experience shooting newly-engaged couples at our hangar. They'll direct your photoshoot to capture all the best angles in front of the helicopter in a private 30-minute photoshoot for you and your partner-to-be after you've landed.
Afterwards, they'll carefully select the best shots from your special day, enhance them using their post-production process, and share them in your online digital album... The perfect way to capture the first day of the rest of your lives.

This romantic escape includes a private beach landing, a luxurious bell tent setup, and a gourmet picnic platter with champagne, all set against the stunning backdrop of North Stradbroke Island’s pristine beaches.

What an amazing experience!! 🚁💯‼️ 🤯 Had the privilege of flying over Sydney 🇦🇺 👀🤙🏽 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 I’m in Melbourne for another amazing flight over a different city 🏙!! 😉🤯🚁💯‼️
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.
