Sydney ‘Highlights’

Taking off from Australia’s first international airport at Rose Bay, it is hard not to be awed as beautiful Sydney Harbour unveils itself beneath. The immaculately restored seaplane adds to the nostalgia – such a contrast to the myriad of high-tech cruisers zigzagging the bay. As you gently exit the harbour and marvel at the stunning sandstone cliffs rising abruptly from the sea, reaching world famous Bondi Beach your pilot manoeuvres the aircraft so that all on board have a great view of the scores of surfers waiting for the next big wave. From Bondi you head back into the harbour and climb to 1000 feet, even for a seasoned local the vista is truly stunning. We track to the Harbour Bridge and Opera House, and complete a circuit above both famous icons. On descent back to Rose Bay your pilot points out the beautiful houses of the rich and famous in the area before gently splashing back down to earth.

Sydney ‘Secrets’

For those wishing to treat themselves to the absolute highlights of Sydney’s famous coast and waterways the 30 minute ‘Sydney Secrets’ flight is a must! This flight encompasses Sydney’s beautiful Northern Beaches. The experienced pilots know this area like the back of their hand and will point out the famous beaches along the route, including Manly, Curl Curl, Avalon and the iconic Palm Beach – where Australia’s favourite soap ‘Home and Away’ is filmed. Returning to the Harbour via the yachties paradise of Pittwater, you will be amazed at the number of boats grouped around the nooks and crannies of this picturesque waterway. This flight also concludes with a circuit over Sydney Harbour including the Harbour Bridge and Opera House. The sedate, high wing beaver aircraft is perfect for still or video photography.
