About this tour
Fly by helicopter from Brisbane to Spicers Peak Lodge, perched over 1,000 metres above the Maryvale valley. You'll have roughly two hours to unwind—swim, book a spa treatment, or dine at their award-winning restaurant—then signal your pilot by text when ready. The return flight sweeps past mountain ridges and optional detours over Brisbane's skyline or Gold Coast shoreline. Total time airborne and on ground is 3–4 hours.

What to expect
You'll briefed on safety before boarding your air-conditioned helicopter. During the 20–30 minute flight to the lodge, you'll hear live commentary through your headset. Once at Spicers Peak, the lodge is yours to explore: the pool overlooks the valleys, the day spa books treatments on request, and the restaurant takes reservations (though meals aren't included). When you've had enough, text your pilot and they'll fuel up for departure. The return journey offers flexibility—you can fly straight back or request a detour past Brisbane's towers or Gold Coast beaches, both excellent for photography.
