Show

Here at Corsaire Aviation, we offer you a range of scenic flights that vary in length, cost and starting point, to fit perfectly within your needs and budget, and the different aspects of Perth that you would like to see from the air.

If none of our standard routes takes your fancy, our experienced pilots can also tailor-make a 100% unique custom charter experience for you, taking in whichever aspects of Western Australia you would like to experience.
Our scenic flights are typically 10 to 50 minutes long. If you are looking for a longer trip that explores more of WA and can include adventure activities like heli-fishing or sky diving, a game of golf or some wine tasting and a delicious lunch, you may like to check out our charter package options instead.

What Sights and Landmarks in Perth Will You See On Our Helicopter Scenic Flights?

Our flights cover a wide range of different iconic landmarks in Perth, including:

  • Perth’s incredible city skyline and Swan river
  • Cottesloe beach and the Great Indian Ocean with its amazing surf
  • The port and marina at Fremantle
  • Beautiful Rottnest Island with its reefs, bays and pink salt lake
  • Hillary’s Marina and the Scarborough and Trigg beaches; and
  • Much more!

Two Premium Starting Points

We offer you a choice of two premium options from which you can start your scenic flights.
The first starting point for our scenic flights is our VIP facility at Jandakot Airport. This is the location of our hangar and fleet, so as well as starting your trip here, if you are an aircraft enthusiast, you are also welcome to spend some time having a look at our fleet of helicopter and light aircraft. You are also welcome to spend time relaxing in our fully featured lounge before your flight.

Our second starting point is the helipad at Crown Towers, right in the centre of Perth. This destination will add an air of prestige to your trip – no-one will be able to tell you apart from the high rollers leaving and entering Crown in their personal aircraft! Crown Towers is a great destination to begin a helicopter tour, as from the very first moments you’re in the air you will get amazing city views.

Prices for Perth Helicopter Rides

Whether you are looking for a short “first helicopter flight” experience, or are a seasoned tourist looking for a longer aerial adventure around Perth and Western Australia, we have a large range of flight lengths and pricing options to fit every need and budget. Our prices start at $150 per person for a ten minute flight starting at Crown Towers, up to $420 per person for a 45 – 50 minute trip taking in Perth City, beaches and the beautiful Rottnest Island.

If you are planning a special occasion (say a surprise wedding proposal), we can also create custom packages that stop in a specific location mid-flight. To make a booking, give us a call on 08 9417 1325 or email [email protected] and let us know what you’re planning and we will discuss the best way to help you achieve it with a custom package!
