For last Father's Day, I got my hubby a family voucher for a helicopter ride in Phillip Island. Ours was a small helicopter with the capacity of 4 adults including the pilot. The staff were friendly and helpful. There was an issue with my voucher as I didn't activate it correctly but the staff was kind enough to let us proceed with our flight while he sort out the voucher with the company. Our 8 minutes flight took us around Woolamai Surf Beach (one of the best known surf beaches in the country and its life saving club) and Cape Woolamai (The highest point on the island and home to the Pinnacles and the old Granite Quarry).







Then the flight headed for the San Remo bridge before turning around Newhaven, Churchill Island and back to the airport.



With the right pointer from the pilot, we caught a quick glimpse of two ray fish swimming near San Remo pier. Unfortunately we didn't manage to capture any photograph of them.






Phillip Island Helicopters have a range of helicopters to suit a wide range of clients' needs, in a wide range of categories from scenic flights for the local and tourism markets through to utility lifting, bushfire, aerial photography and cinematography.

The Chief Pilot, Ian Batton, started his career in 1993 and has accumulated thousands of hours of experience flying, from fighting Victoria's bushfires and rescuing stranded sailors in Far North Queensland to surveying power lines in Western Australia. He is a dedicated professional who believes in maintaining a high level of pilot proficiency and safety throughout the company. (Excerpt from phillipislandhelicopters.com.au)

The helipad is located next to the Vietnam Veterans Musuem.
