Hit the Green – Big Time!

Do you have a glorious summer’s day to spare and the urge to get some serious golfing done? Pterodactyl Helicopters has some amazing flying golf tour packages that are basically the stuff of dreams for any golfing enthusiast with a taste for high-flying adventure.

Our Flying Golf Tours are so packed with essence of awesome it’s hard to know where to begin.
For starters, of course, there is the tremendous perk of easy access to golf courses that are just a little too far away to warrant a road trip just for the sake of hitting the green.
Yes, you might be reluctant to spend a couple of hours in the car to get to some of the fanciest gold courses in the greater Brisbane and Gold Coast area – but when you get to travel in a chartered helicopter, getting there is half the fun (or possibly three-quarters of the fun).

Our current favourites when it comes to golfing greens include Link Hope Island Resort, Sanctuary Cove Resort, RACV Royal Pines and Palm Meadows Resort – all of which offer unique, top-of-the-range golfing experiences – however, if you have a personal favourite, Pterodactyl Helicopters are happy to fly you to any golf course of your choice, whether it’s on our list or not.
After all, even our seasoned pilots can benefit from a change of routine and will gladly work out the best route to your dream golfing destination.

Our Flying Golf Tours include transfer to and from your chosen course to one of Pterodactyl Helicopters’ helipads – we’ve got quite a few, so there is bound to be one close to home -, a leisurely flight taking the scenic route to your destination, the green fees for 18 holes and golf club hire fees; so all your basic golfing needs will be taken care off within the basic package.

However, if you feel like sprucing this already quite spectacular outing up even more, Pterodactyl Helicopters offers a few optional extras that might make the day simply perfect for you.
On request, we’ll be happy to organize lunch and drinks at your chosen golf course, include a golf cart hire for two or – perhaps the most popular optional extra – throw in a full scenic fly tour over the Gold Coast or Springbrook National Park.

Regardless of which golf course you choose or whether you elect any optional extras or not, the flying golf tour is sure to be a day out you never forget. Cruising to the green in the air conditioned comfort of your private chopper is an experience that can’t be beat; not to mention that you will have a complete birds’ eye view of the course you are about to play, which can only be an advantage, especially when you’ve never played the course before.

If you are keen to hit the green and desire a little glamour, contact Pterodactyl Helicopters today to book in for a day out beyond your wildest golfing dreams.

Up the Ante on your next Pub Crawl

Now that most of us have recovered from the celebratory marathon that is the festive season, the time is right to start planning the next epic adventure.
Australia Day is just around the corner, so we thought we put our focus this week on a solid Aussie tradition: the humble pub crawl.
Of course, when you let Pterodactyl Helicopters take the helm for your day out, there will be nothing humble about your pub crawl…actually, there won’t be any crawling either.
Far from it.

If you and your mates feel as though you really should hit some ace venues sometime soon, but are hard pressed to come up with a route you’ve not done to death already, our flying pub tours are the very thing you’re looking for.
Everything about this package just screams excellence.

For a start, Pterodactyl Helicopters will plan the entire outing for you; all you need to do is nominate the day.
We have a long, long, looooong list of participating old school pubs and boutique breweries (including Sundowner Saloon, Pumpyard Bar and Brewery, Porters Plainland Tavern and many more) and will select five of our favourite venues for you to enjoy.

The flying pub tour starts at 9.30 am and you won’t be back until around 4.30 pm, so it’s a solid day of indulgence.
The package includes helicopter transfer from each venue to the next, a beer (or other beverage) at each pub and a much needed lunch at the half-way mark. Sure, this may not seem like a lot to drink BUT you have to consider that in between you will be doing some serious flying and our responsible pilots must insist on air-safety and…how to say it politely…air sickness prevention.
And besides, the rides from one location to the next are guaranteed to be more intoxicating than even the strongest brew.

We usually cater for 2-6 passengers, so none of your mates are going to miss out; and, if one of you happens to have a rather spacious backyard, there is no need for you to travel all the way to our hangar – we will pick you up at home.
It doesn’t get any more rock’n’roll than that, if you think about it.

At Pterodactyl Helicopters we understand that there is usually one person for whom a pub crawl is nothing short of an ordinary experience; we are referring, of course, to the designated driver.
A champion, no doubt, but not the most enthusiastic participant.
When you book a pub crawl by chopper, there is no designated driver and all involved can simply relax in the knowledge that they will be returned home at the end of the day in safety and style.

Feel like making the first pub crawl of the year an adventure to go down in the history books? Contact Pterodactyl Helicopters today and book yourself in for a day of cold drinks, tasty food, great company and the wild whirring of rotor blades.

Good times ahead, indeed.
