    The whole experience from booking on the RedBalloon website to the actual flight was great. Choosing the day and time to go was easy, then we had another family member visiting us that weekend so was able to include him on the experience as well. The heliport guys were extremely professional, friendly and very flexible. Would absolutely recommend it to friends - locals as well as tourists.

    What a fabulous gift! It was wonderful to be able to 'place' and see spots in Sydney that we have come to know (and love) over the past 25 years of living here from a different perspective. Funnily enough the overcast conditions were ideal: there was no glare and it was easy to follow the wake of boats on the Harbour. Bruce's commentary hit the right spot and his style was very reassuring for first time helicopter passengers!

    This experience was in leiu of a flight simulator experience and I was initially disappointed to have to take the helicopter flight. However, I was pleasantly surprised and very impressed with the professionalism of staff who went out of their way to ensure I enjoyed it. All safety procedures were explained clearly and even though the flight was delayed due to a storm, it was amazing to fly over the harbour and beach at sunset. Thank you!
