Departure Location
This Helicopter Me Experience departs from the City Heliport at Mechanics Bay.
Numbers
The $229 price quoted is for one person in a shared flight with minimum numbers of 3-4 depending on the helicopter available. A private flight for up to three passengers is $599 in our R44 helicopter. If bought as a voucher, recipients are grouped together for their flights, generally operated on the weekends.
Passenger weight
Unlike large airliner aircraft individual passenger weight is critical for a helicopter. The average passenger weight for a full flight must generally be 85kg or less. Passengers over 100kg may be required to pay for an additional seat. Depending on the helicopter type there is also a maximum single seat weight. Please let us know the passenger weights when making a booking. Don’t hesitate to contact us if you are unsure about weight restrictions.
Weather
In the event that the weather is unsuitable on the day then your experience will be cancelled and rescheduled at no cost to you. When booking please provide us with suitable contact information so we can get hold of you on the day in the event of a cancellation. We suggest you call on the morning of your experience if you have any doubt about the weather suitability.
