Newcastle City Sights Helicopter Flight

This tour offers the most comprehensive aerial showcase of Newcastle in a single flight—blending coastal icons with inland landmarks.

Departing from our convenient Steel River base, passengers enjoy a seamless and safe experience with highly experienced local pilots who offer live commentary and insights throughout the flight.

Ideal for first-time visitors and proud locals alike, it’s the perfect way to rediscover Newcastle from the air.

Whether you’re a tourist wanting to get a view of Newcastle from the air, or a local who wanted to see how the city looks hundreds of feet above the ground, this is the helicopter tour that’s perfect for you.

Flying out of our base in Steel River past some of Newcastle’s famous foreshore attractions towards Nobby’s Head.

From there, we turn to the south to fly along the ANZAC memorial walk, over Bar Beach and the Merewether Baths.

Get excited as you get to see the Glen Rock Lagoon from above as we turn over towards Charlestown to give you a view of McDonald Jones Stadium – the home of our Newcastle Knights & Jets – and the John Hunter Hospital.

The view will be something that really makes you love where we live!

Soar above Newcastle’s iconic Merewether Beach and take in sweeping coastal views, golden sands, and world-class surf breaks—all from the comfort of a scenic helicopter flight.
