Board at Archerfield and trade traffic for rotors on a 4–5 hour helicopter pub crawl that links Harrigan’s, Eagle Heights and Veresdale. Expect sweeping coastal views, a mountain beer garden and pastoral lunch stops framed by Moreton Bay and the Scenic Rim.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step into the cool glass lounge at Archerfield, the helicopter’s rotors already whispering outside. In minutes the city shrinks beneath you — the Gold Coast skyline a serrated horizon, Moreton Bay spreading like a sheet of glass, and the green escarpments of the Scenic Rim rolling south. The flight stitches pub rooftops and coastal bays into a single half-day route where each landing swaps a skyline for a beer garden and a new view.
