Local guides in Melbourne invite you on a helicopter tour over the Great Ocean Road.

Seeing the breathtaking beauty of the Ocean Road, known as 'Great' and 'Australia's Number One', from a bird's-eye view is every traveller's dream on this continent. And you can make it happen easily and quickly in Melbourne aboard a modern, reliable and comfortable helicopter.

You'll fly the classic, popular Great Ocean Road route and land right where the world-famous Twelve Apostles rock formations stand. These will be the most spectacular minutes of your helicopter tour! A one-hour walk along the panoramic lookout points will give you unique photos and video, and unforgettable time up close with these Australian natural wonders.
