It was the first helicopter ride for me and my wife Kavita and was it delightful ! We had anticipated that it would be a thrill but it turned out to be much more an amazing experience than we ever imagined possibly because of the wonderful coastal views and the awesome ocean & beach scenery.

We loved our experience at PHS. From pickup to drop off we felt like we were in great care. The safety videos were clear and informative. But the trip up in the air to see Uluru and Kata-Tjuta was amazing! It was our first time up in a helicopter and we felt safe the whole time. We even spotted camels from above.

WOW!!!! First time ever in a helicopter and what an awesome experience. I chose to do the 25 minute flight but could have stayed up there for hours just hovering around. You will get a totally different perspective from the air of just how huge both Uluru and Kata Jtuta really are. I highly recommend this tour.

★★★★★An absolutely fantastic experience! Our lady pilot Sora was a superb pilot and very knowledgeable about the history, topography and geology of Uluru and Kata Tjuṯa. We did the sunset flight which showed the magnificent red glow of the rock beautifully. A memorable experience and well worth the money.
Andrew Purcell
★★★★★Great experience! Tour is located close to Kings Canyon resort making it really easy. We did the 15 minute flight and got a great perspective on the canyon, including the Garden of Eden, domes, Kings Creek and Carmichael Crag, with many aerial photo opportunities. The kids loved the experience.

★★★★★If you’re in Yulara and thinking about seeing Kata Tjuṯa and Uluṟu, stop scrolling and book this helicopter flight ASAP.
The 36 minutes we spent soaring over the outback were magical, especially with the sunset lighting up the red earth like something out of a dream.

★★★★★My first helicopter flight was amazing. I was in awe of the view of Kings Canyon. Being up in the air is such a different experience and one that I will definitely do again. The pilot provided a great information about the sights and landmarks we were seeing. Highly recommend their services.

★★★★★This is a must do experience in my opinion when visiting Uluru.
It is a thrilling ride, we booked the 15min ride to Ayers Rock which was brilliant, pick up and drop off from our hotel and the pilot was excellent, giving a full commentary during the ride which was really informative.

★★★★★We were accommodated at short notice and were in the air above Kings Canyon NT within 30min! The ride was super smooth, the pilot very friendly, knowledgeable and informative and the views spectacular! The 15min option was an indulgence but we're so glad we did it. Highly recommend!

★★★★★Tia was our pilot for a sunset flight of Uluru and Kata Tjuta. This was an experience that was unmatched. I have never been on a helicopter flight and Tia was extremely professional, informative and smooth with her flying, I felt very safe. Thank you for this amazing memory that I truly will not ever forget!
