With only 2 days to see the what the Great Ocean Road has to offer, this was the only way to see the this spectacular coastline. We arrived at the helipad and we were greeted by the very friendly staff, given a brief overview of the different flights available and then after a safety brief we were escorted onto a... More

Most definitely worthwhile doing. No better way to see the 12 apostles than by the air. Fantastic views, fantastic commentary and we got the best photos. Only two of us in the helicopter, I sat in the back and had a great view of everything. The guys were really friendly and even took photos of us when we landed in... More

We were told that my daughter would get a front row seat otherwise I would not have shelled out $160 for such a short flight. Instead they sat this fat man in the front seat and stuck us in the back on the LHS. The worst seats. We said we would wait for the next craft, but they wouldn't have... More

We were in a group of 6 people and so we got the big 7 seaters helicopter. The helicopter looks very new and very solid. It's a great experience for us all to see a famous 12 Apostles from above. The Helicopter ticket costs approx. 150 AUD per person for 25 minutes ride. If you have got a chance to... More

We were lucky to get the 7 seater helicopter, is bigger better? I don't know but I am not the best flyer so I like the bigger chopper. While it is an expensive 25 minutes I think it is worth it. The pilot didn't do any stomach turning banking, it was a very comfortable ride along the coast. We did... More

Our 5 yr old daughter and 7yr old son thought it was fun and were not scared at all. Flight was smooth in the virtually new 7 seater and the views were spectacular. Staff were friendly especially with our kids and made their treat extra special. We were glad all four of us could fly together. The whole experience was... More

This was my first helicopter flight and it was very impressive. It is the best way to see 12 Apostles and landscape around. I was scare a bit before the flight, but the helicopter flight was very safe and comfortable. The scenery and the view was unreal. After the flight I went to nearby beach and had a nice swim....

It's not cheap, but the view from the helicopters is unlike anything you can experience from the shore. I highly recommend paying the extra $50 and doing the London Bridge leg as well.

Myself and a friend from Perth hired a car and drove to the 12 Apostles just for a day trip. After parking in the car park, we saw the helicopters and ticket building and decided to wander over and just check out the prices! We were just beat to the building by a large group of tour bus tourists who... More

Definitely the best way to see the 12 apostles and surrounding area. Obviously the best seat is in the front! I was in an 8 seater helicopter with pilot and 3 people in front and 4 people in the rear. No problems in the front for taking video and photos. However the 2 people in the middle rear had more...

Thanks you for your review. Unfortunately there are some factual errors in your review. 12 Apostles does not offer a 12 minute flight. The flight you took was a short flight of the Apostles which is only available to tour groups. This flight is not available to non-tour group customers and has a duration of 6 minutes. It must be...
