Detailed Description
THE EXPERIENCE 30 MINUTE DARWIN SCENIC FLIGHT
This flight provides a great snapshot of Darwin’s diverse natural beauty while providing insight into the major events, both past and present, that have shaped it into the laid back, but modern and internationally connected city, that we know today.
At key locations during the flight we cast our minds back to how things would have appeared during the Japanese air raids of February 1942 and the devastating effects of Cyclone Tracy which made landfall in the early hours of Christmas Day 1974.
Cyclone Tracy took 71 lives, destroyed more than 70 percent of Darwin’s buildings and left more than 50% of the then 48,000 inhabitants homeless.
THE HELICOPTER DIFFERENCE
Compared to fixed wing aircraft, our helicopters have enhanced maneuverability and are fitted with oversized viewing windows creating a premium scenic flight experience. Your pilot can easily adjust speed, altitude and direction of travel in response to wildlife sightings or other points of interest while ensuring passengers on both sides of the aircraft receive equal chance to capture that perfect photo opportunity.
