Unleash Your Inner Celebrity

You know how sometimes you catch yourself longing for a little glitz and glamour? (Unless, of course, you already are an incredibly glitzy and glamorous individual, in which case you’ll know all about what we’re about to suggest…and will agree with us, no doubt.) Pterodactyl Helicopters might not be able to transform you into a celebrity overnight, but we do have the superpower of making you feel like one for a few wonderful hours. After all, there is nothing that says fame and fortune like riding in a private helicopter.

For those of you in need of some high-end amusement, Pterodactyl Helicopters offers a range of Celebrity Experiences. Whether you fancy flying out of town for an outrageously fancy bite to eat at some of South-East Queensland’s finest wineries or country pubs or feel like exploring some top-notch golf courses; whether you want to make a big entrance at your wedding or simply feel like hiring a chopper as your own private transport for the day – we have the package to suit your mood.

Our Food and Wine Tours have made us just a little famous ourselves, if you must know. Over the years our team has sourced some truly outstanding locations – featuring locally grown and produced delicacies ranging from wine to boutique beer to simply delicious cuisine – so every option is a solid winner.
We currently offer Helicopter Wine ToursPub Lunch Tours and Winery & Resort Lunch Tours; giving you an opportunity to get out of town and experience some truly unique hospitality venues. A number of our packages include transfers to multiple locations in one day, so you don’t even need to settle for just one.
If you’re inner celebrity is a bit of a gourmet, these packages are definitely worth checking out.

If food isn’t your inner celeb’s jam, perhaps they would care for a spot of golf? Pterodactyl Helicopters currently offer two golf tour packages:
Our classic Helicopter Golf Tours will whisk you away to a golfing green of your choice – most of our participating courses are in the Gold Coast area – for a full round and some delicious lunch, as well as a scenic helicopter flight there and back.
We have recently added a new heli-golf experience, however, the Scenic Rim Helicopter Golf Tour, which allows you to not just play one but three outstanding golf courses in one big, fabulous day out.

Of course, if you are really craving a moment of feeling like true Hollywood royalty, perhaps our Helicopter Wedding Transfers will be something to float your boat. After all, there is nothing more glamorous than making a spectacular entrance on the biggest day of your life. Especially if you opt for door to door helicopter transfers – yes, this is possible, provided your home has sufficient landing space.

So, there you have it. There is no need to claw your way up the ranks to feel famous; simply contact Pterodactyl Helicopters. We look forward to making you feel like a million dollars soon!

Winter Sports

There are two kinds of people, broadly speaking, when it comes to making it through winter. There’s those, who catch up on world literature and up their tea consumption; and there’s those, who brave the crisp outdoors and get the blood pumping with some winter sports. Of course, living in Queensland means that winter sports can be pretty much anything, with the added bonus of not dying of heat stroke within ten minutes. Being spoiled for choice can be a problem, albeit a first world one, so let Pterodactyl Helicopters help you out:  this winter, why not try Heli-Golf? We promise, it’s just as awesome as it sounds.

Our Heli-Golf Tours are every golfing enthusiasts wildest dream. When you book one of our Heli-Golf Tours, we will whisk you away towards the spectacular Scenic Rim and give you a chance to sample three of the finest golf courses in the area – all you need to do is pick your favourites and let us take care of the rest.

To make the selection process easier, Pterodactyl Helicopters have put together a short-list of the five best golfing greens in the Scenic Rim. Our hitlist is currently comprised of

No matter which golf courses you choose as ports of call for your Heli-Golf Tour, we personally guarantee that they will be nothing short of spectacular. To make sure that you get a chance to experience each individual green to the fullest and don’t run out of time before it’s time to go home, we will book you in for three holes on each course – interspersed with scenic helicopter flights to get you from one location to the next.

Pterodactyl Helicopters’ number one mission is to ensure that you and your golf buddies spend your day out in the perfect golfer’s flow; so, once you’ve made your selection, we will take care of everything.
Green fees, golf club hire and lunch are included in our Heli-Golf Tour package; there is literally nothing left for you to do but climb aboard your hired chopper and proceed to have the time of your life.

Travelling from golfing green to golfing green has never been more fun; not only will you be transferred in one of Pterodactyl Helicopters’ state-of-the-art aircraft, you also get to enjoy some of the most fantastic natural panoramas South-East Queensland has to offer. The Scenic Rim truly is one of our national treasures and seeing it from above is something you will never forget.

Pterodactyl Helicopters’ Heli-Golf tours of the Scenic Rim require a minimum of two passengers and start from $995 per person. We will collect you from most Brisbane City Hotels and take you to the nearest helipad by car; direct helicopter pick-up locations include Sirromet Wines, Mercure Hotel or Sanctuary Cove, Boonah, Beaudesert or Mt Tamborine.

If it’s time for you to get out and about on a cool winter adventure and play some golf you’ll never forget, contact Pterodactyl Helicopters today. We look forward to flying with you soon.

Introducing: Heli-Golf!

If there is one thing, we simply do not tolerate at Pterodactyl Helicopters, it’s boredom. Of course, if you have a small fleet of state-of-the-art helicopters at your disposal, you really don’t have an excuse to be bored…so we really are living the dream.
One of the biggest perks of our job is to come up with new and exciting airborne adventures; and we are pretty confident that our latest brainwave is going to sweep you off your feet:
Heli-Golf!
Yes, we are serious.
And yes, it is as awesome as it sounds.

If you are a golfing enthusiast, you are probably well aware that South-East Queensland, particularly the Scenic Rim area, is a veritable cornucopia of golfing greens.
In fact, there are so many excellent options that choosing one golf course to visit can sometimes feel a little overwhelming.
What can you do?  We hear you ask. There is just not enough time in a single day to drive from one course to the next and still have time to play…
True – unless of course you ditch conventional transport and hire yourself a helicopter.

Our brand-spanking new Scenic Rim Helicopter Golf Packages are basically any avid golfers’ wildest dream come true – and if you are also an aviation enthusiast…well…you might as well have died and gone to heaven.
Pterodactyl Helicopters are taking you golf course hopping – chartering you to not one but three of the finest golfing greens the Scenic Rim has to offer.

To make your choice of golf courses a little easier, we have narrowed our flight list down to the top five golf locations of the area:

All that is left for you to do now is to select your top three picks, name your pick up location (Brisbane City, Gold Coast, your hotel or Sanctuary Cove) and refrain from exploding with anticipation until the great day of golfing arrives.
Because golf is not quite as speedy a game as, let’s say squash, our tour allows for a leisurely three holes on each of the courses, meaning that you get in a full game – just not all at the same course.

The Scenic Rim Helicopter Golf Packages include green fees at all three golf courses of your choice, golf club hire, scenic flights along some of the most spectacular panoramas of the greater South-East and, naturally, a leisurely return helicopter flight. Oh, and also lunch.
You may have noticed that no golf cart hire is mentioned – it’s because you are essentially trading the rickety little cart for a luxurious, air-conditioned, private helicopter. It does simply not get any more Rock’n’Roll that that.

So, dust of your best golfing shoes, don your aviator sunnies and head out for an epic day of flying and putting in the Scenic Rim. Contact Pterodactyl Helicopters today and be one of the first to sample our heli-golf experience. We look forward to flying with you soon!

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.
