Excursion Harbour beach discovery by helicopter tour at Sydney

Start your unforgettable journey with a transfer from the Sydney Cruise Ship Terminal, offering cruise passengers a smooth and stress-free transition from sea to sky.Discover Sydney’s breathtaking beauty from above on our Sydney Harbour & Beach Discovery Flight. Take in panoramic views of the city’s most iconic landmarks, including the Sydney Opera House, Taronga Zoo, and the shimmering sands of Bondi Beach — all from the comfort of a 5-Star helicopter.

No flight over Sydney is complete without a stunning pass over the Sydney Harbour Bridge - affectionately known as “The Coathanger.” Completed in 1932, this steel arch icon is not only an engineering masterpiece but a powerful symbol of the city. From the air, you'll see its vast span connecting the CBD to the North Shore, the busy traffic below, and perhaps even climbers making their way to the top of the arch for one of Sydney’s most adventurous experiences.

As you glide over the historic Rocks district, the vibrant CBD, and the lush Royal Botanic Garden, your flight continues along the dramatic eastern coastline, past Watsons Bay, Dover Heights, Bronte, Clovelly, and Maroubra Bay. When visibility is clear, your flight may extend to Manly Beach, one of Sydney’s most beloved surf destinations. Nestled where the harbour meets the Pacific Ocean, Manly offers a striking contrast of golden sand, rolling surf, and pine-lined promenades. Known as the birthplace of surfing in Australia, it’s a scenic highlight not to be missed. Depending on flight path and conditions, you may also catch views of Middle Harbour, and historic harbour landmarks such as Fort Denison, Garden Island, Cockatoo Island, and Goat Island.

Throughout your journey, enjoy noise-cancelling headsets and live commentary from your experienced pilot, offering fascinating insights into Sydney’s history, culture, and natural wonders. Whether you’re a visitor seeing Sydney for the first time or a local discovering it from a fresh perspective, this luxurious helicopter tour promises an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience.

At the end of your flight, sit back and relax as we return you back to your waiting ship - the perfect finale to your Sydney adventure.
