Good to know
This suits anyone wanting an aerial perspective of the Red Centre without the cost or motion sensitivity of a helicopter. It's suitable for all fitness levels and accessible to wheelchair users. Infants sit on an adult's lap; prams and strollers are allowed. Children must be accompanied by an adult. A minimum of 2 people per aircraft is required, so solo travellers may face a surcharge or scheduling limitation. Food and drinks are not included. Window seats are guaranteed, but the aircraft size and seating layout mean all passengers get a view. Pick-up and drop-off are from your hotel.
