About this tour
A 25-minute private helicopter flight over Brisbane at sunset, timed to capture the city's skyline and surrounding landmarks as light fades. You'll orbit the CBD, pass Mt Gravatt and Mt Cootha, and see the lookout up close from the air. The full experience takes 45 minutes including pre-flight procedures. It's designed as a milestone celebration—birthdays, anniversaries, or a surprise—and includes a Bose headset system for clear commentary throughout.

What to expect
You'll arrive at JetBase and check in, then spend about 20 minutes on pre-flight briefing and boarding procedures in the air-conditioned terminal. Once airborne, you'll hear live commentary via your headset as the pilot charts a route taking in Mt Gravatt to the south, an orbit of the Brisbane CBD, a sweep around the western side of the city, and close passes of Mt Cootha and its lookout. The flight itself runs approximately 25 minutes. Note: if airspace restrictions prevent CBD access (due to emergency services activity), the pilot will reroute to pass Southbank and spend additional time around Mt Cootha and surrounding ranges, but you'll still receive your full 25-minute flight time.
