Flying

Experience the thrill and romance of taking to the big blue sky on an aerial tour of Australia. Scenic flights are popular all around the country, and why wouldn’t they be? It’s a big country with a lot of sights to see, and flying over them not only allows you to see more of it at once, it also gives you the best views you’re likely to find anywhere.

There are all types of aircraft waiting to pick you up off the ground and take you for a journey into the clouds. Helicopters, light aircraft and perhaps even historic planes from a bygone era are just a few of the machines you can expect to take a joy flight on when you come to Australia. From the open pit of a Tiger Moth to the luxury interior of a small jet, you’ll find what you’re after.

The peaceful scenic flight is not the only attraction in Australian air touring. You can take a front seat in the cockpit of an authentic fighter jet and reach speeds of up to 800 kilometres per hour, or perhaps strap on the leather cap to experience the thrill of daring aerial manoeuvres in a vintage aircraft. You could even take the controls yourself in your very first flying lesson alongside a qualified flight instructor with a number of operators around the country.

Of course if you’d rather keep your dinner, you can opt for a scenic flight over some of the most picturesque areas of the country. Fly over outback deserts, rainforests, mountain ranges and wine regions, or see the skylines of Australia’s major cities on a romantic sunset flight.
