Thank you so much Trevor for going above and beyond to give my mother the ride of her life for her 80th birthday. The highlight was flying over her property at Peeramon and over the Tablelands. We 100% recommend this company.

Trevor went out of his way to fit us in on our last afternoon in the Tablelands. Felt totally at ease with him as the pilot. Amazing views, great information and good value for money.

We did a loop around the Wooroonooran National Park. So many amazing waterfalls to see along the way. Cannot wait until next time.

From rugged jungle in the North Johnstone River Gorge to swooping through the Walsh River gorges, it was all a thrill with Pilot Trevor. We felt very safe and were reminded of our spectacular environment.

Trevor would be one of the most experienced helicopter pilots in the country. Very safe and totally enjoyable.
