Coral Coast Helicopter Services operates from Carnarvon in Western Australia, providing a broad range of helicopter tours and adventure flights across the Coral Coast region. The company specialises in scenic flights, whale watching tours, heli-fishing, snorkel and stand-up paddleboard (S.U.P.) adventures, and custom transfers to remote coastal locations.
Flights depart from Carnarvon and include short scenic circuits (from five minutes) through to half-day and full-day experiences such as the Shark Bay Ultimate Adventure and Lake MacLeod Adventure. Signature offerings include whale watching during the May–December migration, aerial views of coral reefs and coastline on scenic flights, and access to remote sites like Steep Point, Neptune’s Cave, and Cape Inscription.
Pilots and crew operate aircraft to access remote beaches, islands, and inland features for photography, fishing, wildlife encounters, and guided shore activities. Safety and operational standards follow Australian aviation requirements for commercial helicopter operations, and flights are planned to maximise coastal and marine wildlife viewing while respecting local environments.
Coral Coast Helicopter Services is featured on The Adventure Collective and markets experiences that suit photographers, wildlife enthusiasts, anglers, and day-trippers seeking unique perspectives of Western Australia’s coastline. Booking options cover single passengers and small private groups; durations and itineraries vary by tour. Seasonal availability applies for seasonal experiences such as whale watching.
