Such a great experience. As soon as we walked in, we met our pilot Shaun, who was super friendly and very professional. My kids were comfortable, not scared, and had the best time. Thank you, Shaun and Bankstown Helicopters; we would love to do it again!

Bought the helicopter experience from Groupon for my girlfriend's birthday. She loved it! Our pilot Timmy was very fun to chat with and clearly had a lot of flying experience. The weather was perfect for a fly over Sydney Harbour.

Bill, Shaun and Eddie were hyper professional taking our group of four to Sydney Harbor, breakfast at a golf resort, wine tasting and lunch in the Hunter Valley and last not least the three sisters. An awesome flight. The team was able to accommodate on short notice. The R66 is practically new and in terrific shape. The AC kept us comfortably cool. Blankstown is clearly run by professionals who are carefully briefing passengers and practice safe operations.
