Phillip Island is a place of stunning scenery and wildlife, one of the best ways to see it from a different angle: a helicopter ride. Whether you are a local or a visitor, flying over the island is a must do.
Phillip Island Attractions
Famous for its stunning landscapes and diverse wildlife, Phillip Island has always been a popular destination. The Penguin Parade attracts thousands of visitors to see the little penguins come home every night. Plus Pyramid Rock and Seal Rocks are a must see for anyone visiting the island. The scenery extends to Summerland Beach and the surrounding surf beaches, so Phillip Island is a nature lovers and adventure seekers paradise.
A View from Above
Helicopters are best for sightseeing because of several advantages of aerial views. From above, you can see all the natural attractions and landscapes of this Phillip Island in full. The helicopter gives you unobstructed views of the geographical patterns of the cliffs covered in trees, beaches with no signs of human activity and fresh green grass everywhere. Plus, helicopters are flexible as you can cover more ground in less time so that you can visit many tourist attractions, including landmarks like Summer Land Bay and Port Philip Bay, on a day trip. Aerial photography gives you opportunities that can’t be done on the ground.
Customised Experiences
For those who want customised adventure, many helicopter services offer bespoke experiences to suit individual tastes. Some things clients may want include leather seats on luxury helicopter flights or private helicopter winery tours where they can visit Terindah Estate or Levantine Hill, which are wine-producing facilities, among other things. Or you may go out for private helicopter flights where you have the freedom to choose your destinations and time of travel. Within this, you can do a half-day helicopter tour, a helicopter flight to specific landmarks or a luxury helicopter golf package, among other flight options.
Fixed-Wing Charter
But there are other types of aircrafts that can be used for aerial tours apart from helicopters, fixed-wing charters. Fixed-wing planes fly further and are better suited for those who want to go beyond Phillip Island. For example flights from Moorabbin Airport or Essendon Fields can give you a broader view of the area, including nearby attractions like Albert Park, Luna Park and the Brighton Beach Boxes.
