5 great reasons to take a helicopter tour of the Blue Mountains



It’s little wonder that millions of people head to Australia each year to enjoy what its inhabitants already know. The country is blessed with some of the most breathtaking landscapes on earth, with incredible coastlines, tropical rainforests and mountain ranges, all waiting to be enjoyed along with its exciting coastal cities. There are so many things waiting to be discovered, with many transport options including ferries, trains, and internal flights.

However, time is often of the essence when trying to fit in everything during a vacation. While some miss out on some amazing views and famous landmarks, those who research leave having had all their bucket list items exhausted. One way they achieve this is when they see the phrase flights to Blue Mountains advertised. Here are 5 great reasons to take a helicopter and enjoy the thrills it provides.


  1. Choosing a leading operator to take a helicopter flight immediately ensures enjoyment and getting the most from the flight. They have experienced pilots and guides who provide information, so the vast expanse of the Blue Mountains comes alive, with additional input making it relevant. The Three Sisters, massive valleys, and sheer cliffs can be enjoyed in one sweeping view, which is impossible to capture from lookout points on the ground.

  2. The flight might inspire other further adventures, like discovering what the Great Barrier Reef has to offer. In the meantime, those aboard a helicopter flight are privy to seeing parts of the Blue Mountains that are inaccessible by car or on foot. A tour gives those onboard a view of untouched wilderness as nature intended, along with hidden waterfalls and dramatic landscapes that others will only ever get to see if they watch travel documentaries.

  3. While there are daytrips to the Blue Mountains available, it takes up a long day, with travel from Sydney and back taking up a fair chunk of it. Then there are the rides in between the different attractions, which can be tiring and taxing for those with mobility issues. A helicopter flight condenses the experience into a couple of hours, allowing more to be seen in less time, ideal for those who want to explore other parts of NSW.

  4. Taking photos and loading videos onto social media channels to show friends forms a part of many holidays. Those who soar above the mountains will be able to film and take snaps that take their breath away and create lifetime memories, while being advised when to get ready for the next shot.

  5. What better way to celebrate a special occasion or to create a business impression than to book a helicopter flight over a world-famous attraction? Lifetime memories can be created, maybe to propose to a loved one, or to get a deal over the line, with lunch to follow, while positive emotions are still high.

The Blue Mountains are a must-see attraction, which can be enjoyed in their full beauty by taking a helicopter flight to create memories and offer staggering views.
