Experience a helicopter to 12 Apostles from Melbourne

Looking for the most unforgettable way to see the 12 Apostles? Trade long road trips for the thrill of a luxury helicopter flight from Melbourne to the 12 Apostles or even 12 Apostles to Melbourne and witness one of Australia’s most iconic natural wonders from the sky. This once-in-a-lifetime experience takes you high above the world-famous Great Ocean Road, Surf Coast, and Shipwreck Coast—delivering unbeatable views and unmatched convenience with your 12 Apostles Helicopter.

Let us take you on a scenic aerial adventure where rugged cliffs, crashing waves, and towering limestone stacks come together in a breathtaking display of natural beauty.

Your Scenic journey begins

Your journey kicks off with lift-off from Essendon Fields Airport, just minutes from Melbourne CBD. From the moment you ascend, you’ll be treated to panoramic views of Melbourne’s skyline, the Yarra River, and Port Phillip Bay. As the city fades behind you, the landscape begins to shift—giving way to open countryside, meandering rivers, and pockets of lush farmland.

Soon, you’ll reach the stunning Surf Coast, where golden beaches stretch endlessly, and the ocean sparkles in the sunlight. From above, you’ll spot surfers catching waves at famous breaks and witness the wild beauty of the southern coastline like never before. The aerial view of this region offers a totally unique perspective—one that simply can’t be matched by any lookout point from the ground.

As you continue your flight, the coastline grows more dramatic. You’re now entering the infamous Shipwreck Coast—a rugged and awe-inspiring stretch of Victoria’s southern shore, steeped in maritime history. Over 50 shipwrecks have occurred here, and your pilot can share stories of the region’s fascinating past as you fly above crashing waves and sheer limestone cliffs.

From the air, the coast’s raw beauty becomes even more apparent. Remote coves, eroded stacks, and pounding surf give this area a sense of wild isolation, making it one of the most captivating parts of the journey. It’s easy to see why early sailors feared these waters—and why modern travellers are so drawn to them.

The Grand Reveal: Your 12 Apostles Helicopter from the Air

The highlight of your tour is undoubtedly the 12 Apostles—a series of towering limestone stacks rising out of the Southern Ocean. Formed over millions of years by wind and waves, these majestic pillars are the crown jewels of the Great Ocean Road.

From the ground, the Apostles are impressive. But from the air? They’re utterly jaw-dropping.

Your helicopter circles the site, ensuring you have ample time to take in the view from every angle. Gaze down at the deep blue waters, the golden limestone cliffs, and the striking contrast of sea and stone. The large panoramic windows of the helicopter provide unobstructed views, perfect for capturing unforgettable photos—or simply soaking in the moment.

Flying above and in your 12 Apostles helicopter is a deeply moving experience. Whether it’s your first time seeing them or a long-awaited return, this unique perspective will leave you speechless.
