Highlights

  • Soar over the breathtaking Greater Palm group of islands, taking in stunning views of lush rainforests and turquoise waters.
  • Land on the secluded beaches of Havannah Island, enjoying 45 minutes of exploration in a pristine natural paradise.
  • Circle around Great Palm Island and its neighbours, witnessing abundant marine life and fringing reefs from above.
  • Savour a picnic on uninhabited Havannah Island, relishing the tranquility and beauty of this underappreciated gem.

Take in the breath-taking views of the Greater Palm group of islands in your private helicopter before landing on a secluded beach on Havannah Island.

An underappreciated natural beauty, this pristine group of islands feature mountainous peaks with lush rainforest descending to the edge of the ocean, and are fringed by shallow reefs with abundant marine life. It’s hard to put into words how spectacular it is – you really have to see it for yourself!

Lifting off over Rowes Bay, you’ll travel past the west point of Magnetic Island before crossing the open waters of Halifax Bay towards the Palm Island group. Once we arrive at Great Palm Island (Bwgcolman) we’ll circle around the islands, our route taking you past:

-Great Palm (Bwgcolman)
-Curacao (Noogoo or Inoogoo)
-Fantome (Eumilli)
-Orpheus (Goolboddi)
-Pelorus (Yanooa or Guyroogarrie)
-Esk (Soopun)
-Brisk (Culgarul)
-Fly Island

and multiple fringing reefs, before setting down on the sandy beaches of uninhabited Havannah Island. Here you’ll have up to 45 minutes on the ground to explore, enjoy a picnic in paradise or dip you toes in the water before heading back, flying past Herald & Rattlesnake Islands and along the coast before landing in town.
