Another way to see the Sunshine Coast is through a scenic flight over the coastline, mountains, and picturesque towns and cities.
Throughout the Sunshine Coast, you can charter a plane or helicopter that can take you on a tour of specific regions and areas. You can choose from a coastal or hinterland trip or a combination of both.

The time allotted for some of the Sunshine Coast scenic flights could vary from 15 minutes or more, depending on the areas covered. There are flights tailor-made for groups, singles and couples, and options for those interested in learning how to fly. A licenced instructor supervises these introductory classes.
There are scenic flights over the Maroochy Region, the Pumicestone Passage and Bribie Island. You will be able to view the spectacular greenery of the rainforests, deep-blue lakes and connecting waterways in the National Parks. You will also have unparalleled views of the Glass House Mountains, Blackall Range, and Mount Coolum. The photographic opportunities are endless as you soar up in the sky.
So after spending few days exploring the Sunshine Coast from the ground, plan a scenic flight tour to check out the diverse and spectacular views of the beaches and hinterland from a height. Book your scenic flight today!
Hi, I want to book a Sunshine Coast flight for my partner for his birthday but they all seem to be minimum 2 people. Is it possible to book a single?
Hi Sam,
All of the tours on offer are for 2 or more people because the tours are very expensive to run and require more than one person to make it economical.
I would suggest contacting one of the tour operators directly to see if they could match you up with an existing tour, or if they could adapt a tour in some way to suit your needs.
Here are a couple of the local operators:
1. Aussie Air
2. Ocean View
3. Blue Tongue Helicopters
Best Regards,
