Heli Fishing

STRADBROKE ISLAND (Minjerribah) INDIGENOUS FISHING

A truly special and unique experience.

Stradbroke Island, just off the coast of Brisbane is home to the Quandamooka people. The Quandamooka have lived in the area for tens of thousands of years. Villages existed around the coastal areas and islands and campsites could be found wherever there was freshwater from creeks or water holes.

This brand-new Aboriginal Fishing Experience will involve flying in on your private helicopter for a full-day or half-day, with a focus on fishing and bait collection on the surf beaches of Minjerribah. Learn to fish, cook and flavour your catch with bush-tucker using traditional methods taught by a Quandamooka fishing guide.

Pub Crawls

Pub Crawls

Who doesn’t love a good country pub? Once the sacred preserve of the sun-scorched, working-class man, today’s pub must appeal to a much broader range of punters in order to survive. Generally, there’ll be good quality tucker, possibly boutique or craft beers, family events, live entertainment and let’s not forget good old-fashioned hospitality. What’s not to love?

So who wouldn’t pass up the opportunity to join a country pub crawl through the incredibly picturesque Scenic Rim, Ipswich, and Lockyer Valley regions west of Brisbane – let alone a country pub crawl by helicopter? Excuse me? Yep, you read that right. A pub crawl by chopper.

The day involves a visit to four country pubs, a pint (or wine) at each pub, a delicious lunch and courteous country smiles are all included in the price. We only choose great pubs and each trip’s selection of pubs will be a surprise!

There is a minimum of two persons but no maximums, the more the merrier. We can even organise transfers to and from our base so you don’t have to drive home.

Winery Tours

Wine-aficionados, listen up! We understand that it’s been a long hard winter and you might be in need of cheering up (we all are if we’re honest); so, Elite Helicopters have decided to come up with a couple of new adventures to tide you over until it is time to sing ‘Summer Wine’ once more. We have designed a quartet of Western Helicopter Wine Tours that will not just quench you desire for fine wine but also your thirst for adventure.

Our new Western Helicopter Wine Tour packages are designed to give you a perfect day out – and with a tour duration between six and seven hours, it really is a day out.
Elite Helicopters are experts at showing their guests a good time; we know the best scenic routes, meaning your transfer in between fantastic vineyards will give you a chance to really soak in the natural beauty of the great South-East AND we’ve done our homework when scouting for participating wineries, so every glass will be a winner.

We currently offer two variations on a 3 Wineries Tour package; you can either end your adventure with a gourmet lunch at Spicers Hidden Vale or with lunch and an exclusive mansion tour at the Woodlands of Marburg.
The trio of vineyards you will visit along the way are Flinders Peak Winery, Paradine Wines and Ironbark Ridge Winery, all of which offer unique signature wines that will thrill any palate, no matter how experienced.

Of course, if you want to go all out and really take advantage of the amazing vineyards this region has to offer, you might want to consider one of two 4 Wineries Tour packages.
Running just over seven hours (each of them packed to the rafters with heavenly delights – literally and figuratively) this tour visits Ironbark Ridge Winery, Paradine Wines, Bunjurgen Estate and Kooroomba Vineyards. Again, you can choose to end your day with lunch and a mansion tour at the Woodlands of Marburg or – if you prefer a more leisurely but nonetheless delicious lunch experience – you might elect to stay at Kooroomba Vineyards and sample their seasonal and locally farmed gourmet offerings.

As Elite Helicopters’ mission above all else is to leave in their wake a trail of deeply satisfied customers, we are of course open to suggestions. If you have a favourite winery (or two or three or four) which are somehow not yet on our list, we will be more than happy to work with you to put together the custom helicopter wine tour of your dreams.
All the perks will remain the same, naturally. All our Wine Tour packages include return transfers from your home or hotel within 10km of the Ipswich CBD (other pickup locations p.o.a.), all tasting fees, a bottle of wine per couple and a three-course lunch.

Treat yourself this harsh, harsh winter and contact Elite Helicopters today. We look forward to wining and lunching you soon.

helicopters for kids, junior aviator

Junior Aviator Program

Do your kids dream of one day becoming a pilot? Do they always nag you for a flight in a helicopter? Our Junior Aviator Program is designed for kids who have a passion for helicopters and want to learn more. We induct them on the day as a temporary aviator. We show them the preparation to get an aircraft ready, the process to get it flying and then most importantly, THEY COME FLYING WITH US.

We usually run these programs in conjunction with a joyflight day. The Junior Aviator will spend plenty of time in the helicopter and learning what we do every day. We supply them with lunch, a hat and a T shirt.

Spots for this great program are limited, so give us a call to book in for the experience of a lifetime.
