Helicopter tours in Hunter Valley, Australia

Ways to see Hunter Valley by helicopter
Quick scenic flight
A 10 to 15-minute flight over the Pokolbin wine region and the Broken Back Range, with no landing -- the fastest and least expensive way to see the valley from the air.
Landing wine-lunch or breakfast flight
Longer flights of 2 to 4 hours that land at a winery or restaurant for a cellar-door lunch, wine tasting, or Champagne breakfast before flying back.
Getting there: Every Hunter Valley helicopter tour departs from Cessnock Airport, a small regional airport roughly two hours' drive north of Sydney -- not Sydney Airport, so it's worth planning the drive (or an overnight stay in the valley) separately from the flight itself.

See all toursFrequently asked questions
What's the best time to fly in Hunter Valley?
Autumn (March to May) doubles as the region's harvest and vintage season, with mild temperatures, clear skies, and only a day or two of rain in a typical month, making it the strongest window for flying. Spring (September to November) is nearly as reliable and quieter with crowds. Winter (June to August) is the driest season but cooler, with occasional frost that can delay an early-morning departure. Summer (December to February) is hot, with February the wettest month of the year.
What should I bring?
Light layers for a morning flight that warms up fast once the sun is up, and something a little smarter than casual wear if your tour includes a cellar-door lunch or breakfast afterward.
What happens if the weather doesn't cooperate?
Like most operators, tours in Hunter Valley have standard weight and balance limits (you may be asked your weight when booking or checking in), and pilots will delay or reschedule rather than fly in unsafe wind, low visibility, or storms. Booking a tour with free cancellation means a weather delay won't cost you anything.
Is this the same as a Sydney helicopter tour?
No -- Hunter Valley is its own wine region about two hours' drive north of Sydney, and every tour here departs from Cessnock Airport rather than central Sydney. If you're after a flight over Sydney Harbour itself, see our separate Sydney tours instead.
How much do helicopter tours in Hunter Valley cost?
Prices vary by route, duration, and whether the tour includes a landing, but tours in Hunter Valley currently start from around $78.19. Longer routes, private charters, and landing tours cost more.
Can I cancel or reschedule if my plans change?
Many tours listed here offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure, shown as a badge on each listing. Weather-related delays and cancellations are handled directly by the operator through Viator's booking system, and a tour booked with free cancellation won't cost you anything if it needs to be rescheduled.
