Description

Short Description

Townsville Helicopters provides a range of helicopter services including scenic flights, customised charter and island transfers from Townsville Airport.

Standard Description

A truly unique experience – take in the breathtaking views of the Greater Palm group of islands in your private helicopter before landing on a secluded beach on Havannah Island to soak up the atmosphere.

An underappreciated natural beauty, this pristine group of islands feature mountainous peaks with lush rainforest descending to the edge of the ocean, 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.

Fly over 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 your toes in the water before heading back, flying past Herald and Rattlesnake Islands and along the coast before landing in town.

They can also depart from and drop off at Magnetic Island with slight alternations to the tour.
