Description

Good to Know

If you love amazing food and entertainment, this is the tour for you. Leaving from our heli-pad, we will fly north over Jacob’s Creek. Once we’re over the valley floor, we head northwest over Tanunda; Nuriootpa then direct to Allendale. Landing right next door to the Wheatsheaf Hotel. Here you will be looked after by Mark and Chelsea. You might even meet local legendary horseman; Tom Willoughby will roll in for a beer and a yarn. He might even arrive on one of his beautiful movie star horses, really, they have acted in movies with Simon Baker and Sam Neil!! They all love a good scratch, selfie and will wait patiently while Tom has a beer with you! After lunch we take the return flight over Historic Kapunda. Kapunda’s claim to fame is that the town is home to Australia’s most haunted hotel, The North Kapunda Hotel. Just to the south of the town is one of Australia’s “Big Things” – Map the Miner, heading home to the Hoffnungsthal Valley past Greenock.

Birthday helicopter flight

With our friendly and knowledgeable pilot Nick we took off from #barossahelicopters and headed to the Wheatsheaf Hotel at Allendale for lunch. We passed over a few wineries and Kapunda where we saw the big miner dressed up as Father Christmas and had a different perspective of the Silo art there. Introduced to Mark who delivered a delicious lunch, had a couple of bevvies and then unfortunately we had to head back to base ..... all in all a big thumbs 👍 up for the helicopter flight and another ...read more

Thanks so much for the wonderful review — we absolutely loved reading this! 🚁✨ It sounds like a cracking day out, and we’re so glad Nick could show you the Barossa from a whole new perspective. Flying over Kapunda (and spotting the big miner in Christmas mode!) plus the silo art is always a crowd favourite, and pairing that with lunch at the Wheatsheaf is hard to beat. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to Nick and Mark — they’ll both be stoked. And ticking something off the bucket list by helicopter is always a win in our books! Thanks again for choosing Barossa Helicopters. We’d love to have you back anytime for the next adventure 👏🍷

Outback Pub Crawl

What an amazing experience. Our pilot Nick went above and beyond to make it a day to remember.Flying over the Mighty Murray landing at the Swan Reach hotel for coffee. Overland Corner Hotel for the most delicious lunch next the Wool Shed Brewery and finally the Sedan Hotel. We both agree it was money well spent. Would definitely recommend it. Thank you Barossa Helicopters and Nick.

Hi Sue, Thank you for choosing to share a birthday celebration with us! Nick is one of the best in the business (well, we think so!). His attention to clients is second to none! The pubs are great too! Each one with their own charm of rustic! We appreciate you taking the time to post such a lovely review. - Bridgette :)
