What to Expect from the Private Helicopter Waterfall Proposal

The perfect moment starts with a departure in Darwin, where you'll board a private helicopter and fly south to Litchfield National Park and the Sandy Creek Falls. Along the way, you'll see how the landscape changes from coast to untamed wilderness - Australia's North, full of green mangroves, tidal rivers, and savannahs alike. Talk about paradise!

Once at Litchfield National Park, you'll be taken to the Sandy Creek Falls, a romantic spot that is perfect for popping that big question. This is like a secret oasis that's surrounded by steep cliffs, large trees, and features a crystal-clear plunge pool - perfect for going for a swim.

Of course, you'll probably go for your swim before popping the question, a great way to capture the excitement of the moment - and don't forget to bring your camera either!

You'll then get to take a 4WD vehicle to Finniss Flavours, also known as the Finniss River Lodge, where you and your newly betrothed will get to enjoy exclusive dining courtesy of head chef Lachlan Raineri, who serves up some of the most modern and delectable bites in Northern Australia, a great way to bring some more joy to that special somebody.

What's Included in the Helicopter Waterfall Proposal?

The journey starts with you and your unsuspecting loved one boarding a state-of-the-art helicopter, complete with generous legroom, luxury seats, noise-cancelling headsets, and an air-conditioned cabin, plus a pilot who acts as your tour guide along the way.

You'll depart from Darwin at 9 am and fly over some of the most diverse landscapes that any helicopter tour features. After a 75-minute flight, you'll land in Litchfield National Park, at which point a 4WD takes you through the secluded park right to the Sandy Creek Falls.

Once at the falls, you'll have the opportunity to take a swim in the plunge pool, right at the bottom of the falls - the sound of the falls is both calming and exhilarating.

Surrounded by natural beauty at its finest, it's the perfect romantic setting for popping that big question - there's just nothing like dramatic cliffs and a rushing waterfall in the background to make it all come together.

After that special someone says yes to your question, you'll be taken to the Finniss River Lodge, a favourite known for its fresh and locally-sourced produce.

At Finniss River Lodge, couples can expect a long lunch that celebrates the Territory’s land and sea. Served in the open-air restaurant with wetlands views, the menu changes daily and is shaped by what’s fresh in the region.

You might be treated to prawns, mud crab, high-end beef, duch, barramundi, paperbark smoked meats, mangoes, native herbs, or roasted macadamia - just to name a few.

The food is bold yet elegant and lets the local ingredients do the talking. Drinks are carefully selected, too, with boutique wines, small batch beers, and craft spirits that match the food and the relaxed luxury. The menu is as diverse and luxurious as the rest of the helicopter tour! Return to Darwin on the same helicopter at 2:30 pm - just in time to enjoy a romantic evening with your newly betrothed.
