Gold Coast Helitours

Gold Coast Helitours is a helicopter operator based at the Marina Mirage heliport in Main Beach, on the Gold Coast in Queensland. The company describes itself as offering a complete aeronautical solution for corporate and private clients. It says it has more than 30 years of experience and a crew of experienced pilots and ground staff.

The company flies charter flights for corporate and private clients. Services include corporate transfers, airport transfers, special events, golf and other excursions, and aerial survey. Special occasion flights include wedding transfers, proposal tours, picnic helitours and restaurant and winery transfers.

Scenic flights cover the Gold Coast, its beaches and its hinterland. Guests can book a Fly and Feast flight with a pub meal, or a Sea and Sky flight with a seafood platter afterwards. The company also offers joy flights above the racing circuit during the Gold Coast 500 motor race.

Specialised operations include aerial photography, motion picture filming, banner towing, fire fighting, search and rescue, marine helipad work and sky crane lifting. The company says its customers include corporations, governments and fun seekers alike.

The fleet has six passenger turbine helicopters. These include three Eurocopter AS350 B2 Squirrel (H125) aircraft and one AS350 BA Squirrel. Each corporate Squirrel has leather seats, air conditioning and a Bose audio system. The fleet also includes a Bell 206L LongRanger and two Robinson R44 Clipper II piston helicopters that carry three passengers plus the pilot.

The company says it has a 100% safety record. Its heliport is open seven days a week, and its website lists opening hours for public holidays. The website notes that access to the heliport has changed because of nearby construction. It gives step by step directions from the main road, and the heliport sits at the end of the jetty at Marina Mirage. Holiday opening hours are listed on the contact page.
