Picnic in the Winter Sun

There is probably no season more perfect than the early Queensland winter – the sun is out, the skies are bright, the temperatures divine. In other words, absolutely perfect picnic conditions. That – unfortunately – means that every parkland in the greater Brisbane area is so chockers, a giant could play twister on the multi-coloured picnic rugs covering every inch of grass.
Luckily, Pterodactyl Helicopters has come up with a perfect solution to this picnic conundrum – an all-inclusive Gourmet Picnic package, guaranteeing you peace, quiet, beautiful scenery and winter romance galore.

If you book a Gourmet Picnic tour with Pterodactyl Helicopters, you and your special someone are in for as many treats as the human mind and body can feasibly sustain.
Firstly, of course, there is the journey to your private picnic location in one of our state-of-the-art helicopters. Travelling the scenic route to your chosen spot in true Rockstar style, it’s an experience that really sets the mood for a special outing for two.
Our Gourmet Picnic flights usually depart from our Lake Manchester hangar or the Archerfield Airport; that said, if you feel that driving yourself to either of these locations would put a damper on your romantic day out, we are happy to collect you directly from home…yes, in a helicopter.
(Side note: if you want to stage an anniversary surprise, or something equally outrageous, hiring a chopper for door-to-door transport in pretty surprising.)

Secondly, Pterodactyl Helicopters have done all the hard reconnaissance work for you. We’ve spent so much time flying across the great South-East, we know its every nook and cranny – so we understand that you might be spoilt for choice and unable to decide where you want to go.
For your convenience, we have hand-picked three outstanding Gourmet Picnic destinations:  Woodlands of Marburg, Spicers Hiddenvale and, should you feel particularly adventurous, a mystery riverside location guaranteed to knock your socks off.

And finally, the Gourmet Picnic experience absolves you of all responsibilities. When we say that all you need to do is show up, we mean this literally. We take you there, we pick you up, we take you home AND we provide you with everything you need for your picnic.
From a picnic basket filled with incredible culinary delights (no vegemite sandwiches, we swear), including a bottle of wine, to all the rugs, cutlery and other bits and pieces you might require – we will take care of it.

It’s time to kick your winter romance into the next gear – after all, nothing warms us from within quite like love – and we have the secret ingredients to your winter-afternoon-dream ready to go. Contact Pterodactyl Helicopters today and let us show you the sunny side of the coolish season. We look forward to flying with you soon.

…and they flew off into the Sunset

First of all, an important message from the Pterodactyl Team: Happy 2019! We hope you made it through the holidays unscathed and are ready to tackle the new year head-on!

Apropos, we have a delightful suggestion to help you get 2019 off to a great start: an epic evening out featuring fine dining, deluxe accommodation AND (special new year’s drum roll) a helicopter flight through a technicolour Queensland sunset.

After all the fanfare and fireworks of farewelling the old year, does it not seem apt – even a little poetic – to remind ourselves that nature can top even the most outstanding pyrotechnics display?

The subtropical sunset vistas over Brisbane are truly spectacular; they are in fact so special that Pterodactyl Helicopters have created an entire overnight entertainment package around this experience.
Our Sunset on the Menu & Overnight helicopter tour is designed to give you the ultimate blend of natures raw beauty and modern comforts – and all of it completely stress-free. After all, what good is a chartered chopper if you are rushed off your feet in order to make it to the helipad on time for your sunset flight.

When you book an overnight sunset experience with Pterodactyl Helicopters, all you need to do to start your adventure is to check into The Country Motel or Quest Apartments.
Yes, that is it.
Once you have arrived at your accommodation of choice (if you can’t decide, flip a coin; both options are equally fabulous, so you will be delighted either way) and had some time to settle in, our chauffeur will come calling to take you out to the Pterodactyl helipad.

Our pilots are old hands when it comes to the sunset tour over the Brisbane CBD, so their timing is simply impeccable – which means you are in for a real treat.
The play of light and the outrageous colours of the Queensland sunset, in combination with the ever-expanding Brisbane skyline makes for an unforgettable helicoptering experience. Forget about sad cynics who claim that once you’ve seen one sunset, you’ve seen them all.
In fact, we boldly launch the counterclaim that you haven’t ever really seen a sunset until you’ve seen it from a helicopter.

Once the sun has disappeared, we will take you back to your accommodation and treat you to a gourmet dinner – including a bottle of wine on the house – at either The Country Motel Restaurant or The Cottage Restaurant.
Rounding off your first big adventure of the year with a leisurely evening meal, still buzzing with the intense imagery you have just enjoyed, and finally sinking into sweet dreams of sunset madness in the cool comfort of your motel or apartment – it does not get much better than that.

If you want to feast your eyes on some of the wildest colours mother nature has to offer and experience Brisbane’s famous hospitality with an overnight stay, contact Pterodactyl Helicopters today and we will make it our mission to blow your mind. ffffffffff

Make an Entrance with Pterodactyl Helicopters!

What do weddings, music festivals, race days and weekends away have in common? They’re all more fun if you arrive by helicopter! If you are planning to attend…anything, really…in greater South-East Queensland in the immediate future, why not consider an alternative, epically awesome mode of transport? Pterodactyl Helicopters offer aerial transport to a wide range of locations – making sure you arrive in style and get to be the star of the show.

 

If you are looking for a helicopter charter to deliver you (and others, if you feel so inclined) to an exciting event, look no further than Pterodactyl Helicopters. Whether you want to stun your wedding guests with a James Bond style arrival at your venue, surprise someone special by whisking them away on a long weekend in the most spectacular way, or just want to bypass pesky traffic en route to an outdoor concert – chartering a private helicopter is bound to take whatever you’re planning into the next league.

 

Pterodactyl Helicopters’ aerial transfer options are second to none when it comes to being flexible in catering to your individual needs. Simply give us a call to discuss your helicoptering fantasy and you will be amazed by our team’s willingness to fulfil your every desire. With enough notice, we can accommodate large numbers of passengers, source the best landing patches closest to your destination of choice (often quite literally a stone’s throw away) and even accommodate substantial cargo (in case you feel delivering a gift via helicopter transfer might add a certain something).

 

If you don’t wish to make your way to one of our helipads, we can most likely collect you and save you extra travel time. Pterodactyl Helicopters offers airport transfers, can execute pick-ups from a number of Brisbane Hotels (yes, we’re talking about getting in a helicopter on your hotel’s roof – like a boss) and, providing the location is suitable, even get you straight from home. The cost of transfer does vary depending on your preferred mode of operation, but you will be astounded by how affordable private helicopter transport can be.

 

So, whether you are looking for VIP transfers, freight transfers, custom charter or transfer to a major event – Pterodactyl Helicopters will work with you to find the perfect solution.
