I had the most amazing day! David was the best pilot and guide. As a local I would recommend seeing our lovely town from above as we can easily take the beauty of this area for granted.

Amazing service and a wonderful scenic holiday We just spend 10 amazing days with Lakes Entrance Helicopters. They took my husband and I on a Red Centre Heli Tour. They organised everything, including hotels and dinners. We saw Renmark, Lake Eyre, Kings Canyon, Uluru, The Marree Man, William Creek, Rawnsley Station at Flinders Ranges, Wilpena Pound, Parachila. David, our pilot, was so amazing, caring and friendly. Everything was taken care of. It was a once in a life time holiday by air. The most amazing experience we have ever had in our life. Thank you so much, Lakes Entrance Helicopters.

Best way to see Lakes Entrance. I have been on a lot of scenic heli flights and this was by far one of the best. It is such an amazing area to see from the air, the Silt Jetties are spectacular. Everyone visiting lakes entrance should take the opportunity to fly over the area. The staff were all super friendly and pilot had lots of interesting information to share.

I would highly recommend this experience to visitors and locals alike. The Gippsland lakes system and coast line is amazing and like many places seeing it from the air makes you appreciate it in another way altogether. We had perfect weather and the views went for miles. The staff great, they are passionate about their job and also the area, recommend flying with this company. 👍🏻👍🏻

Fantastic staff. The pilot was very knowledgeable and explained the area very well. They offer a range of different scenic flight services from as little as $80 per person. I Would highly recommend going on one of there scenic tours, you see so much more from the air. 10/10

Such an exhilarating experience! Got over my fear of heights in about 10 seconds and enjoyed every breathtaking minute seeing the Gippsland Lakes from a bird's eye perspective. Really can't recommend this enough, to locals and visitors alike! Thanks so much David and Campbell. That's my Kris Kringle gift idea sorted for this year! 😄

5 stars all the way. Andrea & Dave are the loveliest people. Welcoming straight from the get go & happy to make you feel comfortable and ride ready. Our 3 children loved their flights and all were excited to get a front row seat to the action. The views are just spectacular and breathtaking, what a beautiful way to experience this slice of paradise with a birds eye view. 5 stars all the way. P.S we’ll be back.
