If you go into the woods today…
We all know the song, don’t we? It’s a classic, just like the age-old tradition of picnicking itself.
Now, as the weather is growing milder and we don’t have to worry about burning to a crisp every time we leave the house, the picnic season is very much open.
At Pterodactyl Helicopters we simply adore picnics, nearly as much as we love aviation – so we have decided to combine the two and create a package that guarantees romance, solitude and private air travel.

If you are looking to impress a special someone with a day out they won’t forget in a hurry, our Gourmet Picnic Tours are the perfect solution.
Pterodactyl Helicopters has scouted the most beautiful picnic locations South East Queensland has to offer and has put together a shortlist of the best spots to relax in perfect peace and solitude.
Our current favourites are Spicers Hidden Vale and the Woodlands of Marburg – but if you have difficulty choosing, you can sign up for a picnic at our mystery riverside location.
No matter which destination you go for, we guarantee that you have never picnicked quite like this before.

Firstly, we understand that while picnics are fun, preparing them is not. Especially since every time we unpack a picnic basket at least one essential thing is missing. Right? We all do it, not need to be embarrassed.
When you picnic with Pterodactyl Helicopters, preparation is not your problem.
Our Gourmet Picnics include a hamper of culinary delights – yes, there is wine – and all the non-food bits and bobs you need for a nice outdoor meal.
All that’s left for you to do is walk out the door – literally, because if you have adequate landing space, we can simply collect you and your date from home. By helicopter.
How cool is that?

Secondly, driving for hours to get to a picnic spot that is bound to be filled with noisy children and other people’s litter is not exactly romantic.
However, there are not many things more romantic that being flown via the scenic route to a location too secluded to be comfortably reached by car.
Not only do you get to admire the scenery from up close and in perfect peace; you also get to admire it from up above on your way.
At Pterodactyl Helicopters we pride ourselves on our local expertise, meaning we will make sure that you don’t miss out on any natural beauty worth seeing on your way to the picnic.

So, if you are keen to get out and about, see something new with someone special and have a picnic in true superstar style – contact Pterodactyl Helicopters today and book your Gourmet Picnic.
We look forward to flying with you and introducing you to our top spots soon!

Christmas is very nearly upon us and couples everywhere are debating how to co-ordinate Christmas lunches – there seem to be celebratory meals every day from Christmas eve to New Years.
When will we be at your parents’ house? And my parents’ house? And that big BBQ with the gang? Nice options, fair enough, HOWEVER… Why not do something completely different and save a date during the festive season to have a lunch for two that is as romantic as it is spectacular?
Pterodactyl Helicopters’ Gourmet Picnic packages are the perfect solution for couples, who wish for nothing more than a little serenity this Christmas.

Just imagine, if you will, that all you and your beloved had to do to have a holiday picnic neither of you will ever forget was to simply walk out the door?
No food preparation, no gassing up the car, no sweating on congested highways, no jostling crowds for a good spot in some packed scenic hotspot. None of that.
You simply dress in your finest picnic wear, collect your sunhat on the way out and merrily skip into the most romantic day of the holiday season.
Pterodactyl Helicopters can make this dreamlike fantasy come true.

Our gourmet picnic packages are the stuff of legends – especially if you have a spacious back yard or a park next to your home, because if you do we will collect you from your house by helicopter.
It sounds a little grandiose perhaps, the type of thing a Kardashian might do once in a while, but there is no reason you shouldn’t treat yourself this Christmas.
Hiring a private helicopter to fly you to an exclusive picnic location is indulgent, true, but what is wrong with a little indulgence?

Once we have you aboard our air-conditioned chopper, all you have to do is hold hands and relax while the gorgeous southeast Queensland scenery flies by beneath you.
Pterodactyl Helicopters currently has three favourite picnic spots for you to choose from:

The gorgeous woodlands of Marburg
Spicers Hidden Vale, one of the most beautiful and best-kept secrets of the Hinterland
And – if you’re feeling particularly adventurous – our mystery riverside location

Regardless of which destination you choose for your helicopter picnic tour, disappointment is not an option.
Pterodactyl Helicopters will deliver you to the ultimate privacy of your very own picnic spot, provide you with a delicious hamper full of joy and a bottle of fine wine, and then – naturally – we shall make ourselves scarce until it is time to fly you back home.

This Christmas, take a little time to escape the crowds – literally – and have some special one-on-one time with your favourite person. You can even leave your phone at home, just remember to bring a good old-fashioned camera to capture this unique aviation experience for the family album.
And maybe to make someone jealous at the next Christmas lunch. Maybe.

Contact Pterodactyl Helicopters and arrange for a thrilling date in a glorious setting – we promise it’ll make Christmas all the merrier.
