This was my first time ever in a helicopter. The information video ahead of time was very helpful and then we verbally reviewed what we were going to do and the controls. Eddie explained the pre-check as he went through it. He was very patient and made me feel very confident and comfortable behind the controls! I’m still so stoked I flew a helio today!!! ❤️ Thank You for a great experience. I highly, highly recommend!

I was booked in for Friday morning for 30mins tour. The weather was bad for 3 days because of rain. They helped me reschedule to the time that suited me. Very friendly staff and easy process. Sam was our pilot who was super friendly and explained everything throughout the tour. Would love to go back for longer tour in future.

Had the best pilot training flight with Glenn. The team were very accommodating when needing to change flight days and super friendly every time. This is such a great experience from learning the controls to the view of the city to horizon, being in control of a helicopter is incredible. Highly recommended

Helicopter ride was in my bucket list and i did that with my Mum and aunt. To be true to myself that was one of the best experiences ☺️. Thanks to Our Captain Laurence Hodgson,he did an amazing job.Riding over the harbour and Opera house was like we were watching any hollywood movie 🥳.We were there before 20 mins so that we could capture some pics and videos, Our Captain became an amazing photographer at the end of our ride. If you are thinking about helicopter 🚁 ride just do it . Trust me you gonna love it 😍. 100/100 thanks Bankstown Helicopters 🚁.

We bought a group-on coupon for a 45-min ride. I planned it as a surprise for our wedding anniversary. We totally loved it. I regret for not remembering our pilot's name. We completely enjoyed his company. He's engaged and had a lovely daughter. Best wishes to him and his family. We took a ride on 5 Aug around 12pm. Hope someone from the team let me know his name and convey our wishes to him. Definitely recommend this for a surprise.

My partner and I had a helicopter tour around the harbour and the experience was everything we could have hoped for, from the moment we arrived at the office to the moment we left. Our helicopter operator/tour guide whose name was Lee is such a pro, the other staff were a delight as well.

Amazing experience!!! Professional and accommodating team, fantastic atmosphere and the helicopter… just to fall in love with this beautiful aircraft. And to see everything from a bird view… while actually operating the helicopter, ecstatic feeling. Everyone should try this at least once!!! I am locked on career change. I will be a helicopter pilot by the end of the year thanks you Glen my outstanding flying instructor.

Derrick our pilot was friendly and professional. He made my 6 year old daughter very comfortable. He took a lot of photos of us. The flight was fun, he showed us Sydney Landmarks. He deserves a 5 star’s honestly! I would definitely recommend Bankstown Helicopters and if you get Derrick to be your pilot, then you’re lucky! Thank you so much Derrick, you made it a better experience.

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.

We were so lucky that one of our sons friends is a pilot here. We had a fantastic 45 minute flight down the river , over the opera house and Sydney bridge. Down the coast to Manley beach then back to Bondai beach, we then retraced our route back. The scenery was fabulous and quite an adventure in its own right, our pilot was very knowledgable and kept us informed what to look for. We would thoroughly recommend you try this trip.

Well what can I say about this. It was fantastic. And our pilot was so friendly and knowledgeable. (He will be alright when he passes his test (if he reads this he will get this)) the views from the air of the harbour etc were just to good for words. Highly highly recommend this trip.

I had a fantastic experience during the 30-minute tour, which felt like a mere 10 minutes. Shawn, our skilled pilot, treated us to some exhilarating roller coaster-like maneuvers. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, we were unable to capture enough pictures with the helicopter, as Shawn had another customer to attend to promptly. Nonetheless, the tour was overall excellent and left us with great memories.
