Flying experiences
Let your worries float away during a magical hot air ballooning experience, feel your spirits soar with helicopter flights over a spectacular Australian sunrise, and fall for the rush of skydiving. There’s no shortage of incredible flying experiences in Australia, and whether you opt for relaxing seaplane flights or the more heart-pumping jet fighter adventure, it’s all just a few clicks away. You can even try your hand at flight simulators or take flying lessons to get behind the controls yourself!
Flight Experiences in Australia
You don’t need wings to fly – you just need RedBalloon.
Our wide variety of flying experiences in Australia offer every kind of soaring, floating – and even falling – there is. You could skydive over Wollongong beach for something thrilling, or take a hot air balloon over Hunter Valley with breakfast for something blissfully relaxed and magical.
A Sydney Harbour helicopter flight is one of those Australian must-dos, be it a special occasion or simply a just because. For those who simply can’t get enough of the world above ground level, they can learn to fly and uncover a whole new realm, whereas for those who want a taste without getting too high in the air, indoor skydiving offers all the thrills without the need to jump!
Hot Air Ballooning in Australia
From the blast of the hot air balloon burner lifting you into the air to the silence that follows as you float away over the scenery, there’s nothing quite like this serene experience.
Australia’s conditions and landscape make it the perfect place for flying, while the scenery makes it unforgettable. You can either experience a hot air balloon ride in New South Wales or venture further south for hot air ballooning in Victoria. Either way, you can make a quick trip and enjoy it without taking too much time out of your weekend.
Or, you can make a full weekend of it and enjoy soaring over vineyards with a hot air balloon in the Hunter Valley, or watch the shoreline and oceanic horizon with a hot air balloon on the Gold Coast. You can also travel to the stunning west coast of the country for hot air ballooning in Western Australia.
Skydiving in Australia
It’s the ultimate thrill – diving fearlessly out of a plane at 15,000ft, falling, falling, falling up to 200 km/h, before launching your parachute and catching the wind currents as you float the rest of the way down.
The tandem skydiving experience is for the adventure seekers who have done it all and now want to complete the ultimate challenge. And for those who want the rush and the sensation of nothing but wind and air catching your fall – indoor skydiving is the experience for you.
Australia is a haven for skydivers. You can go skydiving in Sydney, or opt for skydiving in Melbourne over St Kilda. Or, make your epic road trip even more memorable with this once-in-a-lifetime adventure with tandem skydiving over the Great Ocean Road.
Helicopter Flights in Australia
Helicopter flights in Australia are all about beautiful views and sightseeing. These experiences run the gamut from soaring over some of the country’s most iconic landmarks, to zooming above pristine beaches and lush rainforest.
Whether you’re visiting for the first time or want to experience your home city in a whole new way, helicopter flights in Sydney offer an incredible memory (and countless new favourite photos). Helicopter flights in Melbourne can see you soaring over cityscapes or even take you out to a winery for the afternoon, while helicopter flights in Brisbane promise wineries, scenery, and rainforest retreats.
Seaplane Flights in Australia
With more than 25,700 kilometres of coastline and countless lakes and rivers, Australia is ripe for exploration via seaplanes.
Seaplane flights include scenic coastal trips over Melbourne and Sydney, excursions to Rottnest Island for a luxury lunch, and adventures up the Margaret River for wine tasting. It’s the kind of experience you’ll tell yourself you’d love to do once, only to make an exception and do it again and again for the views, the adventures, and the unbelievable memories.
Flying Lessons in Australia
It’s one thing to fly, and something else entirely to fly yourself.
Within just 60 minutes, you can complete a pre-flight briefing, a planning session, and a flight in helicopter pilot training, where you will be behind the controls with a qualified instructor as you learn to bank, turn, and change altitudes. These flying lessons are currently available in locations across the country.
Or, opt for an exhilarating aerobatics flight training experience in Sydney. This unforgettable one hour includes a 15-minute briefing followed by a 45-minute flight where you’ll learn to execute loops and rolls. This is definitely a must for big fans of the Top Gun movies, yet no less an experience you’ll be talking about for the rest of your life for everyone else.
Jet Fighter in Australia
Ever wanted to take a spin in the air, literally?
Jet fighter flight experiences in Australia invite you to head for the clouds with an experienced pilot, where you’ll swoop, spin, roll, and loop your way across the skies.
The jet fighter experience is available in a range of locations, from New South Wales to Queensland, Western Australia, and Victoria.
Flight Simulators in Australia
Flight simulators feel so real, so visceral, that you’ll hardly notice you’ve never left the ground.
They let you into the cockpit where you can learn how to pilot a plane, all within a completely safe and risk-free environment. Take a jet for a spin, fly a Boeing 737, or even try out an F-18 Super Hornet.
There are flight simulator experiences in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, and Western Australia, making it easy to take flight – wherever you are.
