Gold Coast

Air & Helicopter Tours

Make the most of your time on the Gold Coast and embark on an adrenaline-packed adventure. Start the trip with a 55-minute jet boat ride and feel the rush of adrenaline buzz through your body as you make a splash out on the water. Next, head to the Gold Coast’s Marina Mirage heliport where yet more thrill-seeking awaits! Hop in the helicopter and set off into the skies for a sightseeing cruise across the Gold Coast. From your unique birds-eye perspective, soak up panoramic views of the city and the coastline, as well as Royal Pines, the Star Casino, Q1, and Broad Beach. Then, navigate north along the foreshores of Surfers Paradise, Main Beach, SeaWorld, and South Stradbroke Island before returning to the heliport.

Experience the thrill and excitement of a hot air balloon flight on an early morning tour, floating above the coastal scenery of Australia’s Gold Coast. Float like a cloud, as you watch the sunrise climbing over the horizon. See reflections off the myriad canals and waterways, and view the surrounding forested mountains of the hinterland. During your flight you will feel no wind, because you have become the wind! This is the unique sensation of hot air ballooning. You will be transported on an aerial nature tour, via the world's oldest and most romantic form of flight. The pilot will navigate you above the coast, before gliding back to ground. Then, you will be presented with your personal flight certificate as a memento of your hot air balloon flight.

Experience a quick repertoire of jet boat spins and slides through the southern Gold Coast Broadwater around Wavebreak Island. Delight in a jet blast for 20 kilometers (12.5 miles) in just 30 minutes. Depart directly into the Broadwater at Main Beach, and waste no time in the 6-knot zone. Then, enjoy a scenic 5-minute helicopter journey taking in the iconic Sea World, Marina Mirage, Palazzo Versace, South Stradbroke Island, and the picturesque Surfers Paradise skyline.

Enjoy a panoramic morning ride with an expert crew, before toasting a glass of bubbly at breakfast and touring a vineyard. Start your morning with pickup in an air-conditioned bus from select Gold Coast hotels and head out to the launch site. Watch the impressive balloon inflate and snap some photos before taking flight. Take in panoramic views of the Gold Coast skyline, hinterland, and surrounding mountain ranges. Once you gently touch back down, have a laugh with pack-up games before a short drive to the vineyard for a champagne breakfast on the veranda of the grand homestead. Toast a glass of bubbly and enjoy a delicious feast. Take some time afterwards to explore the vineyard and taste some other wines. Conclude the tour with hotel drop-off, or opt to be dropped off at the theme park.

Get your adrenaline pumping with a thrilling tandem skydive from a helicopter above the stunning Surfers Paradise. Drop from an altitude of up to 10,000ft and freefall at over 200 km/hr. Float under a colorful canopy over Gold Coast and Surfers Paradise while soaking up spectacular beach views all the way to Coolangatta to Brisbane. Fly free as a bird, feeling the wind rustling through your hair. See sparkling white sand beaches and unspoiled hinterland. You'll take off from Seaworld Helicopters launch pad and land just a few minutes away. Your dedicated and experienced skydiving crew knows exactly how to make your Surfers Paradise skydive one to remember.
