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!

A Time to Chill

We’re halfway through the year, folks; so, it’s time to take a minute and allow yourself to have a little bit of a breather, yes? True, it can be hard to find the time to get away, let alone orchestrate more than one person to be able to make an escape at the same time, so Pterodactyl Helicopters – as it is our habit – have come back with the perfect solution. With our new breakfast and lunch tours, we have managed to cram a week’s worth of relaxation into the space of a few hours; it’s like a protein super shake for the mind and soul.

For our new and improved Lunch Tours, we have taken the liberty to source some brand-new locations for you to explore. Whether you fancy a day out at a Winery or prefer kicking back at an executive resort, Pterodactyl Helicopters’ shortlist has it all.
As there are just too many amazing local vineyards to choose from in the South-East Queensland region (how’s that for a first world problem…)  we have picked out our top six, leaving the final decision to you.
Currently our participating wineries are

·         Sirromet Wines

·         Albert River Wines

·         Woongooroo Estate Vineyard

·         O’Reilly’s Canungra Valley Vineyards

·         Kooroomba Vineyards and Lavender Farm

·         Ocean View Estates Winery and Restaurant

Each of these locations has been hand-picked for its beautiful setting, outstanding quality of food and drink, and slightly quirky charms. No matter where you choose to go, we promise there will be something special and unforgettable about your experience.
All Pterodactyl Helicopters Lunch Tours include a three-course gourmet meal, a wine tasting (all tasting fees included), a complementary bottle of wine with your meal and – naturally – all flights.

If you feel like a vineyard is not quite your scene, Pterodactyl Helicopters have three wonderful resort locations for your to explore – for lunch or breakfast, whichever takes your fancy or fits better with your busy schedule.
Spicers Hidden Vale, Spicers’ Peak Lodge and Woodlands of Marburg are our current top resort locations – none of which will disappoint, we promise.
Our breakfast or lunch tours include all flights, a three-course lunch or gourmet breakfast, and a bottle of house wine per couple.

Once you’ve selected your destination and made your booking, all that’s left for you to do is revel in anticipation and then, finally, relax and enjoy. Pterodactyl Helicopters have a number of bases from which our flights take off; however, provided there is a suitable landing space, we can also collect you straight from home in one of our state-of-the-art helicopters. Just in case you want to really feel like a Rockstar for a moment.

Pub Crawl? Been there, done that. Try Flying Pub Tours!

Let’s face it, there’s only so many times you can make your way from one end of Fortitude Valley to the other until the novelty wears off. So, rather than making do with your local for another weekend like any other, get your next pub crawl off to a flying start with Pterodactyl Helicopters? We offer all the tried and true delights of the traditional Aussie pub crawl with the added rock star glamour of your private chopper as means of transport – so no need to worry about a designated driver!

 

Country Pub Crawl by Chopper? Yes, please!

Pterodactyl Helicopters’ Country Pub Crawl takes you and up to five mates to some of the finest watering holes of South East Queensland. Running from 9.30am to 4.30pm, our high flying pub tour leaves enough time to visit five of our select locations at a leisurely pace, drinking in spectacular sceneries from up high alongside delicious, locally-produced beverages.

Our selection of pubs includes:

The Sundowner Saloon, offering a range of tasty craft beers and famous for its German heritage – which is of course excellent news when it comes to beer.

The Dugandan Hotel, or The Dugie as it’s known, where you can kick back and enjoy the charms of a quintessential Queensland pub – and some fine wines courtesy of Sirromet winery, if you fancy.

The Bearded Dragon, one of the secret hot spots on beautiful Mount Tambourine that is sure to please all senses – the view from the top as you arrive is going to simply blow your mind.

Pterodactyl Helicopters’ pub tours depart from Lake Manchester, our Ipswich Helipad or the Archerfield Aerodrome – unless you would like us to pick you up directly from home (residence permitting). The tour includes a beverage at each stop as well as lunch at one of them, so there’s nothing more to it than hopping into your chartered chopper, high-five your fellow crawlers and get set for an epic day of fun.
