Overview

This tour to Australia's World Heritage–listed Blue Mountains encompasses all manner of excitement, from a helicopter flight high above the rainforest canopy to a ground tour by 4-wheel-drive vehicle. You'll see the Blue Mountains from top to bottom, passing by sheer cliff faces and exploring the forest floor and caves. Admire rock formations, deep canyons, and the occasional kangaroo in Megalong Valley, and take short walks to complement your experience with an ecologist guide. This 6-hour ecotourism-accredited tour includes lunch, refreshments, and hotel pickup in central Sydney for the ride to the heliport.

    Taking off from Sydney airport and flying to the Blue Mountains. Landing in a field and watching kangaroos at the near by pond. Wonderful tour guide

    We did 2 tours with Sydney HeliTours: The first tour was a 20-minutes flight over Sydney harbour and the Eastern suburbs (Watsons Bay, Bondi, etc.), which was fantastic. The second tour, which we booked after the amazing first experience with them, was a tour to the Blue Mountains combined with a private 4WD tour in the blue mountains. This tour was even better than the 20-minutes Sydney harbour flight and we can highly recommend that (also, their local partner for the 4WD tour called Blue Mountains 4WD is excellent, as I wrote in a different review). The whole team at Sydney HeliTours is lovely and the whole experience, from booking, to the complementary pick-up in the CBD, the time at their base at Sydney airport, the flights, the pilots, and the complementary ride back to the CBD was excellent We can absolutely recommend Sydney HeliTours and we are very happy with our choice.

    The tour provider was not able to respect the initial tour date. The tour operator suggested we postpone for the next day which we agreed... having no confirmation from them, we reached out for a confirmation. Got an email back saying that the trip was no longer possible on that date. Suggested the following day but we had booked another activity. Big waste of time... doesn’t La Vacanza Travel check the tour operators availabilities? Would not recommend wasting your time here.
