We often take advantage of the city we live in and don't get the chance to see what Sydney is all about. Sydney is one of the most known and visited cities in the world, and what better way to explore all the sights and landmarks of Sydney then from a helicopter. Fly over the magnificent oceans and beautiful beaches on the coasts of Sydney and experience this thrilling ride.

There are several helicopter tour companies in Sydney offering this experience and each is just as exciting and adventurous as the next, as they offer different routes to best meet the needs and wants of those flying on board the helicopter.

Blue Sky Helicopters have various scenic flights from the Harbour Discovery flights to the Whale Watching flight, which range from 15 minutes to 60 minutes. A 60 minute Best of Sydney flight will show you not only the best of Sydney city also its surroundings. Highlights include outstanding views of Olympic Park, the harbour and its world famous icons like the Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House, Manly and the Northern Beaches (including Palm Beach & Pittwater) Bondi Beach, Botany Bay & more.

Sydney Helicopters will also take you to different areas around Sydney and can cater for groups as big as 80 people. Charter Services include: Scenic Sydney Harbour flights, Lunch and Day tours to the Hunter Valley, South Coast, Southern Highland, Blue Mountains and Central Coast. The flights start from $195 for the scenic flights around Sydney and for a little something extra the day tours range from $995 to $1250 per person. View here for more details on tours.

Sydney Helitours is the "largest scenic helicopter company in Sydney and fly more passengers around Sydney Harbour ... than any other helicopter company." They too offer flights that tour the whole of Sydney and it's surrounds, but often offer special discounts or deals for particular flights. During the months of June, July and August any group of three or less can receive 10% off all scenic flights and the third person can fly free. What could be more convincing?

If this is the type of adrenalin you need, you don't need to look very far because there are numerous helicopter companies all over Sydney. This amazing experience has the potential to completely change your views on Sydney and will guarantee to leave to breathless.
