Sydney is a cosmopolitan city that is always alive and brimming with energy, and as you would expect, they have many events throughout the year, some of which are best enjoyed with an aerial view. In order to appreciate these occasions fully, taking a helicopter tour is highly recommended, and with that in mind, here are a few of the top Sydney events that demand a view from the air.
✓ Festival Of Winds – This is an amazing kite flying festival that is held on the iconic Bondi Beach, and the best way to experience this is with a helicopter ride. Kites of all shapes and sizes take to the air, with some huge examples that seem to defy gravity, and don’t forget to take your digital camera along!
✓ Australia Day – The biggest event of the year, Australia Day is celebrated across the entire country, and Sydney is alive with colourful festivities. You can watch the catamarans race to Sydney Harbour Bridge, and with affordable Hunter Valley helicopter rides from Sydney, you can have lunch in one of the top restaurants set in the middle of a vineyard and sample some of the best wine Australia has to offer.
✓ Sydney To Hobart Yacht Race – Every Boxing Day sees this amazing race unfold, with the starting line crowded with yachts, and at precisely 12 noon, the gun goes off and the race begins! Watching the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race from the air allows you to follow the yachts while they all jostle for the best position as they leave Sydney Harbour, then you can follow them along the coast, as each tries desperately to catch the most wind. If you plan on booking a helicopter tour on this day, you will need to book months in advance, as many professional photographers are looking for the best shots of this breath-taking race.
✓ Bondi Beach Surfing Contests – For the very best views of the best surfers in the world vying for that huge wave, booking a helicopter ride gives you an unprecedented vista of surfers as they climb onto massive waves, and the pilot would be happy to do a few low-level passes for you to get some amazing photos and video clips. They have surfing contests throughout the year, so whenever you are in Sydney, there will be at least one event going on.
Even if there are no special events happening when you visit Sydney, a helicopter tour of Hunter Valley is a truly amazing experience, which also includes the Blue Mountains, which is best appreciated from the air. You get to sample some of the best wines Australia has to offer, plus lunch at a 5-star restaurant that is located within Hunter Valley.
The tour begins with a few passes over Sydney Harbour, to take in the amazing views of Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge, then it’s off to Bondi Beach and then heading to Hunter Valley for a flight to be remembered forever. An online search will help you locate the website of a local helicopter tour operator and you can make your booking.
