About
See just how stunning Newcastle is with its beaches, National Park, and rugged coastline being the highlights as we cruise down the coast. You then get to see Lake Macquarie, which is Australia’s largest coastal saltwater lagoon, which is usually a hive of activity for water lovers and its ever-changing colours on its channel.
Take in the sights of the Central Coast as you’re taken down the coast towards the mouth of the Hawksbury River. Then, just as you think the view can’t possibly get better, the Sydney skyline appears on the horizon. We approach Sydney over Long Reef as we start to head towards Sydney Harbour and some of the most recognisable landmarks in the world. Enjoy the incredible scenery of Sydney and its surroundings during a private 1 and a half hour scenic helicopter tour. Treat yourself and a special someone to a memorable experience of Sydney with panoramic views of icons such as the Sydney Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge and northern beaches along the coast of New South Wales before taking you for another breathtaking tour back to Newcastle.
