Helicopter Ride to URBNSURF — Melbourne's First Heli-Surfing Experience
Overview - An exclusive helicopter tour and surfing experience at URBNSURF
We're stoked to partner with the good folks at URBNSURF to deliver the ultimate bucket list experience for every mad keen surfer. Fly by helicopter and land next to the wave pool at URBNSURF, grab your board and hit up a 2 hour surf session of your choice, followed by a hearty lunch at Three Blue Ducks (Urbansurf's on-site restaurant) before jumping back in the chopper for a scenic helicopter ride home. This is the ultimate heli-surfing package combining an epic helicopter ride with endless waves and an amazing feed which will guarantee a wicked day out.
What to expect - Flying by Helicopter to URBNSURF in Melbourne
We're not joking when we say this is the ultimate bucket list experience for mad keen surfers. We reserve a private helicopter for you and up to 3 mates and fly you directly to URBNSURF.
Board the chopper at one of several locations outside Melbourne including Lilydale in the Yarra Valley, Mornington Peninsula and Torquay on the Great Ocean Road, or if you wanna fly in from another airstrip, drop us a line and we'll see what we can do.
Your scenic helicopter ride or “surf taxi” takes just 25 - 40 minutes (depending on your departure location) and flies past Melbourne for gorgeous views of the city and the jumbo jets coming in to Tullamarine Airport, before flying a lap overhead URBNSURF and descending for a rockstar landing at a private helipad next to the wave pool.
On the ground - Your surf session at URBNSURF in Tullamarine
As you jump out of the helicopter you'll be greeted by one of the legends at URBNSURF with your rental board and escorted straight into the water for your 2 hour surf session - a left or right hander set at a beginner, intermediate or advanced level - it's your choice.
Find your flow and hit some barrels during your surf session as your waves are pumped out with gnarly consistency thanks to URBNSURF's insane Wave Garden machine.
Post-surf Lunch - Three Blue Ducks restaurant with lunch included
Once you're done with your surf session, head on over to the Three Blue Ducks restaurant for lunch and a selection of the chef's favourite dishes on their 'Feed Me' menu incorporating wholesome food made from ethically sourced ingredients (some of which are grown right in their kitchen) that are guaranteed to leave you with a dolmio grin.
Return Helicopter Flights - Flying home from URBNSURF
After lunch take a quick walk back to the chopper where you'll load up and depart Urban Surf in style with one last view of the wave pool from your window seat before turning back over Melbourne for an amazing scenic helicopter ride home, capping off the most epic and only heli-surfing experience in Australia.

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.
