What is your favorite season of year? Why?
Australia is blessed with four distinct seasons, and each one offers something special. From snow-covered mountain peaks and vibrant vineyard landscapes to sparkling coastlines and golden sunsets, every season creates its own unique way to experience Victoria from above.
At Leisure Heli Tours, we’re fortunate to witness the changing beauty of the state all year round, and if you ask us what our favourite season is, the answer is simple: it depends on the adventure you’re seeking.
Winter: A Snowfield Wonderland
For many, winter is the most magical time of year. As temperatures drop and the Victorian High Country transforms into a snowy paradise, our helicopter tours to the Victorian snowfields become some of the most memorable experiences we offer.
There’s something extraordinary about lifting off from Melbourne and watching the landscape gradually change from rolling farmland to snow-capped mountains. Destinations such as Mount Buller and the surrounding alpine regions showcase a side of Victoria that feels worlds away from city life.
Whether you’re planning a day on the slopes, a luxury alpine lunch, or simply want to witness the breathtaking winter scenery from the sky, a helicopter journey adds an unforgettable touch to the experience. The aerial views of pristine snowfields, winding mountain ranges and frozen waterways create a perspective few people ever get to see.
Winter is the season for adventure, luxury and discovering the beauty of Victoria’s alpine regions in a truly unique way.
Spring: Vineyards Come to Life
As winter fades and nature awakens, spring brings a fresh burst of colour across Victoria’s wine regions. For wine lovers, this is arguably the most picturesque season of all.
The vines begin to flourish, the countryside turns vibrant green and the weather becomes ideal for leisurely days exploring some of the state’s most celebrated wineries. Helicopter winery experiences offer guests the opportunity to combine stunning scenic flights with exceptional food, wine and hospitality.
Flying into renowned wine regions allows you to leave traffic behind and arrive in style. From the moment the helicopter touches down among the vineyards, the experience feels exclusive and memorable. Enjoy long lunches, premium wine tastings and breathtaking rural views before returning home with unforgettable memories.
Spring is a season of renewal, making it the perfect time to gather friends, celebrate milestones or simply indulge in a luxurious day out.
Summer: Victoria’s Coastline at Its Best
When summer arrives, Victoria’s coastline truly shines. Warm days, sparkling water and endless blue horizons make this season ideal for coastal scenic flights and day trips.
Some of our most popular summer experiences include flights to the Mornington Peninsula and Lorne, where guests can enjoy spectacular views of beaches, cliffs and crystal-clear waters.
The Mornington Peninsula offers a perfect blend of coastal beauty, boutique dining and relaxed luxury. From the air, guests can admire the peninsula’s winding shoreline, secluded beaches and picturesque bays before landing to explore local attractions, wineries or waterfront restaurants.
Further along the coast, Lorne and the Great Ocean Road provide some of Australia’s most iconic scenery. Flying above rugged cliffs, pristine beaches and dramatic ocean vistas delivers a perspective that simply cannot be matched from the ground. The journey itself becomes part of the destination.
Summer is all about embracing the outdoors, making memories with family and friends, and experiencing Victoria’s coastal treasures in the most spectacular way possible.
The Perfect Sunset, Any Time of Year
While every season has its own highlights, there is one experience that transcends them all: a romantic sunset scenic flight.
As the sun begins to dip below the horizon, Victoria’s landscapes take on an entirely new character. Golden light reflects across the water, shadows stretch across the countryside and the sky transforms into a canvas of orange, pink and purple hues.
Whether you’re celebrating an anniversary, planning a proposal, marking a special occasion or simply enjoying time together, a sunset helicopter flight offers an unforgettable setting.
The combination of breathtaking scenery, peaceful skies and luxury travel creates a truly magical experience.
What makes sunset flights so special is that they can be enjoyed throughout the year. Every season delivers its own version of the spectacle, from winter’s crisp alpine glow to summer’s vibrant coastal sunsets.
So, What’s Your Favourite Season?
The beauty of Victoria is that every season offers something extraordinary. Winter delivers alpine adventures and snowfield escapes. Spring showcases flourishing vineyards and unforgettable winery experiences. Summer invites you to explore stunning coastal destinations such as the Mornington Peninsula and Lorne. And throughout the year, romantic sunset scenic flights provide memories that last a lifetime.
Perhaps the real answer is that there isn’t a single favourite season. Instead, each one presents a new opportunity to see Victoria from a fresh perspective.
At Leisure Heli Tours, we’re passionate about helping guests discover the best of every season from above. No matter the time of year, there’s always an incredible experience waiting just beyond the horizon.
