The diverse landscape around Finniss River Lodge lends itself perfectly to scenic helicopter flights. Taking off from the lodge, you fly over the 50 000-acre Finniss River Station to Five Mile Beach and the mouth of the Finniss River.
Compared to fixed-wing aircraft, our helicopters have enhanced manoeuvrability and are fitted with oversized viewing windows to create a premium scenic flight experience. Your pilot can easily adjust speed, altitude, and direction of travel in response to wildlife sightings or other points of interest, especially during our helicopter flights near Darwin. Your pilot will ensure that passengers on both sides of the aircraft receive an equal opportunity to capture that perfect photo opportunity.
All guests on our scenic helicopter flights near Darwin are supplied with quality headsets with voice-activated microphones to enjoy the live inflight commentary, allowing direct conversation with your pilot and other passengers.
