Wonderful experience, flying around Uluru and Kata Tjuta! You really get a view by helicopter that you cant get any other way. Carmen, our pilot, was outstanding! She provided detailed commentary and was very thorough in her flight around both sacred sites. Would do it again in a heartbeat!

We did the sunset flight so the red colours of Uluru and Kata Tjuta contrasted nicely against the desert floor which was remarkably green due to recent rains. The pilots were highly professional and provided just the right amount of commentary. Great job Nico.

This was one of our best experiences in Australia. To view and photograph these sacred aboriginal sights from a helicopter was a once in a lifetime event. Our pilot was friendly and knowledgeable. The highlight of the tour was that a storm cloud was hovering over Kata Tjuta and pouring rain down on it as we approached which is something rare in this desert area of the outback. Our pilot was so excited he even got out his camera and was taking pictures of it. He said he had been doing this tour for 5 years and had never seen rain coming down on KataTjuta. It was truly amazing to see!

Can't really rate the tour as the Helicopter flight was cancelled due to the lightning storm. BUT what I have to mention. They REFUND ALL MONEY we paid in advance and tried hard to reschedule the flight.

Big rock in the middle of nowhere. Helicopter over it and drive out to it for a close up look. Flies can be bad and it will be hot. Don't need to spend more than one night, two at the most. Sails in the Desert best hotel but expensive.

I purchased this tour for my husbands 40th birthday present. _br/_ He was completely squashed in the back with two other big blokes, he didn't enjoy at all. I have since written to the company and they haven't even responded. Wish we had spent our money elsewhere, very disappointing

This was an amazing experience. It showed us the beauty of the area but also the relationship between the 2 sites. We were able to see where the old road had been and understood why that had been changed. Highly recommended.

Chris our pilot was very friendly and professional, we really enjoyed our experience. Views were stunning, really worth doing if you're going to Uluru:-

I originally booked a tour by day on a chopper above / around Uluru. I was informed on previous day SMS that there were not enough people on this tour. But for a reasonable extra-cost they could put me on a flight just before and during SUNSET,, same day, and not only around Uluru but also around Kata-Juta the sister mountain a few km around, which I had visited walk in valleys the day before. I accepted the deal. _br/_ It was a wonderful flight. We were a total of three small-size choppers where each of three passengers has a window and the cell being narrow, we could see and shoot pixes on the other side. _br/_ My only regret one star missing is that we did not fly ABOVE Uluru or Kata-Juta while other choppers from SAME company have come plumb to it I have picture of this. Maybe there was a safety problem to avoid vicinity of two contiguous helicopters, or, being the last one to take-off we had no time for it and had to return to heliport ???._br/_ But altogether, I highly recommend.

I can't imagine a better view of Uluru! Our pilot was very well informed and the view from both sides of the copter was beautiful! He was very mindful to ensure that all passengers received a full-view of both Uluru and Kata Tjuta. I would recommend to anyone!

Loved this tour. Great views.

This was a wonderful flight. We had already done the Sunset and Sunrise Excursion, so this was the 'icing on the cake'. We flew both mountains and they are indeed just as exciting from above. We took the longest flight possible and went at sunset. It was beautiful!!

Hotel pick-up was extremely convenient and all the staff were very friendly. Definitely a great way to take in Uluru and Kata Tjuta from an amazing vantage point. Would definitely recommend it.

Fantastic way to see the Rock, we went late in the day not sunset and the colours on the Rock were a great sight from the air._br/_ The trip was run by a great group of blokes who took care to make sure my wife who had never been in a helicopter before was well looked after and reassured at every step._br/_ Highly recommended

Picked us up from hotel, were very helpful and had lots of information for us, would advise people to do it
Review by: Robert M, May 2016
There was delay with our departure time due to a refueling issue. Staff were courteous and apologetic. My wife was seated behind the pilot. We were on the ground for 5-10 minutes for preflight checks and warm up. The helicopter did not circle the rock nor were we given a close up look at the water hole. Kata Tjuta could only be seen in the distance. I had a reasonably good view on approach to the rock as I was in the front but my wife only saw glimpses as the pilot did not turn the helicopter for her to see. _br/_ When we returned another couple was quickly ushered aboard. The helicopter flight was a buzz but did not meet our expectations as it did not circle the rock as indicated on the website. Commentary did not include Aboriginal Legend. It was once in a lifetime opportunity missed and not what is promised on the website.

Seeing both Uluru and Kata Tjuta from the air just as the sun was rising was magical. The pilot was friendly and very knowledgeable about the area, and pointed out items of interest. Highly recommended.
