If you want to see Hervey Bay from a new angle, climb aboard Great Ocean Helicopters. Their tours lift off from Urangan Airport and whisk you high above the bay, Fraser Island and the nearby reef.
You can choose a short flight for whale watching or a longer tour that circles the rainforest, sand dunes and coastal waterways. From the air, you’ll spot humpback calves swimming beside their mums, the checkerboard of sand trails on K’gari and the reef’s patchwork colours.
Each chopper seats up to five passengers plus the pilot. The team keeps headsets on hand so you can chat with your pilot and hear the sounds of the flight. All flights include a safety briefing, aerial photography tips and time to soak up the view.
Bookings fill fast during whale season (July to November), so it pays to lock in a spot early. Whether you’re after a quick thrill or a full sightseeing run, Great Ocean Helicopters delivers a day you won’t forget. Pack your camera, bring your sense of wonder and prepare to see Hervey Bay from the sky.
