We flew here in a helicopter on November 20th, 2024. The flight was really great. At the beginning everything was a bit bumpy, the young lady was a bit phlegmatic and scheduled us later than we had booked. We were actually supposed to take off at 1:30 p.m., but we didn't take off until later. !! What is normal everywhere these days wasn't here, there was no WIFI!!! At least that's what the lady at the reception told us. The flight itself was really great, the pilot told us a lot/explained things and handled his helicopter fantastically. Thank you very much, dear John, it was very nice with you.

It was a wonderful expression! We have been to Surfers Paradise several times, but this was the first time we did the helicopter flight! A breathtaking landscape! They have an explanatory video of the safety instructions in English, which was very practical! And we had the nice surprise of meeting a member of the crew who is French. It made our experience much better! He accompanied us well. The whole team was great! A great time! I recommend 100%.

It was thrilling adventurous ride with so many spins and quick turns back in the sea, water splashing over the face and Tobby, the guide, made it so interesting with his commentary and witty nature. Definitely recommend jet boat ride for anyone. Helicopter gives a nice view of the goldcoast. we did it for 10 mins, seemed very short trip but can try for little longer.

My partner and I had a beautiful afternoon cruising through Sun sailing ! Catherine, Grant and Adam were so lovely and helpful. Their service was wonderful, very friendly people and lovely to have a chat with, as well as the cutest cuddles from their pup, Wilson. Food and drinks were great, couldn’t recommend this boat service enough !

Great Fun for two of us.. Instructor took us through the basics as we'd never done this before and then we had a great time as we got used to the speed and power of the skis
