apostle coast aviation

We took a 25 min flight..the operators were very obliging when we decided to re book due to bad weather...the flight was smooth, informative and as beautiful as I had hoped. Its the first time I have ever seen my husband speechless...would highly recommend this service.

Travelling the Great Ocean Road from Adelaide, we made an impulsive stop when we saw this helicopter company offering flights over the Twelve Apostles. Our timing was perfect as pilot Francesca had just landed with three Asian tourists. Their smiling faces and thumbs-up gestures was all the incentive we needed and we were soon souring over those magnificent and weirdly shaped cliffs and monoliths. The views were breath-taking and as hubby and I were the only passengers in the four-seater Robinson 44, we had unobstructed views all around. Our pilot was charming and very informative and handled the chopper like it was an extension of her. The fallen arches, steep cliffs and gorges, and oddly shaped chunks of land, including the (fallen) London Bridge with the surf pounding and smashing and slowly but surely reshaping the coastline was just spectacular and worth every penny. It showed us a completely different perspective to that which we saw from the road as we continued our car journey following the flight.

Highly recommend ACA for their expertise and value. From Peterborough, they will fly you over the entire sculptured coastline, not just the Twelve Apostles. The helicopter will seat three passengers so everyone has an unobstructed view. The 15 minute flight was long enough to see the sites but you may like to choose a longer one.Our pilot, Francesca, pointed out the key landmarks and elaborated on interesting historical points. Do not be worried if you are a little nervous as she will create a very smooth ride.

Great service, 4 seater so everyone had the window seat. Francesca was the best, smooth and easy. Far better service than bigger companies. Great value for money.

Highly recommend this company for their friendly service and great prices. Had a ball - go here first before the bigger commercial ones

Francesca our expert helicopter pilot was great. Smooth take off and landing and just an all round great flight. Great views of the Apostles and the even better Bay of Islands. And we saw whales on both flights!

Shaun took us on a half hour flight over the 12 apostles and surrounding countryside. He gave us fantastic commentary mixed with wit and humor and even retraced his path on occasions to allow us just the right camera shot. He is the right man for the job, highly qualifies as an engineer with years of fixed wing and helicopter flight history. So glad we opted for his company over the bigger operators.

Our flight was amazing. We were so glad we chose this small company to take us to see the scenery along the Great Ocean Road. It was personal and informative. A wonderful experience. Couldn't have been happier. One of the highlights of our holiday.

The day was a bit dismal and it drizzled a bit, but that didn't stop us from having the most brilliant experience. The pilot was really informative and obviously enjoying every second of his job, (but who wouldn't) The sights are awesome and to see these amazing structures from this vantage point is a wonderful privilege. It is something that everyone should experience. Shear Magic!

What a fantastic and very memorable experience with great pilot that was extremely helpful and answered my 1000 questions. From the moment we drove into the car park to the moment we left we found the whole service first class and so friendly. The helicopter is very colourful and looks great in the pictures. The glass was spotless and great for taking those pictures to remember for ever. In our opinion worth every cent and a must do when on the Great Ocean Rd. Dave & Debs.

Awesome experience well worth every cent!!! Views of the 12 Apostles and coastline were spectacular. Paul the pilot, was great. Made us feel very comfortable and was very informative throughout the trip. Highly recommended!!! Andrew & Kelly

Hi Everyone. We booked with Steve, owner Apostle Coast Aviation, and Ian was our pilot of the day. On arrival we were met at the car, made to feel immediately at ease and like we were with 'an old friend'. After a lovely chat and 'get to know' session we walked to the waiting helicopter which was looked great, colourful and very clean, taken through a safety briefing, assisted into the chopper ready for take-off. Ian was obviously very experienced and regaled us with many stories, also having grown up in the area had lots of information that certainly isn't in the travel brochures. Overall - service was sensational, we were not 'just another paying customer', we were made to feel very special and we really appreciated the attention to ourselves, our interests and our safety.WELL DONE GUYS - HOPE TO VISIT AGAIN VERY SOON.RUTH AND MARK, MT MARTHA, VICTORIA - SEPTEMBER 2012.
