Helicopter Flight paths

For something special and only available for a short time each year when conditions are just right, our Foggy Flights take you above the valley to watch it wake up under a fluffy blanket of fog.

Our heliport is located above the valley in the Strzelecki foothills. This allows us to take off into clear, still conditions and enjoy uninterrupted views of the fog below.

We’ll follow the edge of the hills, flying in clear sunshine alongside the fog as it sits over the valley. Each flight is slightly different, with the route guided by the day’s conditions. For safety, we do not fly into or above fog, and your pilot will maintain clear visual contact with the ground at all times.

These flights are for early risers, with an 8am departure and only one to two Foggy Flights available per day before the fog lifts. As this experience depends on the perfect conditions, confirmation will be provided the day prior once the weather can be assessed.

For a truly special helicopter flight, this is one of our favourites!

  • All flights return to base.
  • All flight paths are subject to weather conditions on the day and may be varied a little to achieve the best experience and view for passengers.
  • Flights are suitable for all ages.
