Charter your own helicopter from Hamilton Island to see the Whitsunday Islands and Great Barrier Reef your way. Choose a helicopter with 3 seats or a larger Airbus H130 or Bell Longranger for 6 passengers. We look after special group private helicopter charters and special events.

Our helicopters range from 3 seaters up to 6 seats and we specialise in private helicopter charter tours for just two people for special occasions or for larger groups of conference or incentive delegates.

We have permits to land in various locations around the Whitsunday Islands, all we need to know is what you wish to see, what you wish to do and for how long.

We will then plan your private charter helicopter tour and send you an itinerary for your approval. We can add some special touches such as catering and beverages to make the charter even more memorable.

Popular locations for private charter helicopter tours are other resort islands on the Great Barrier Reef, Whitehaven Beach and Hill Inlet, Hook Island and Hook Passage, Whitsunday Passage, Whitsunday Island, Heart Reef and snorkelling tours to Cruise Whitsundays Reefworld at Hardy Reef.
