    One of the best way to see the 12 Apostles and the nearby rock formations is by Air. The 12 Apostles Helicopter Company is a local institution with a perfect safety record to boot. They offer a number of different joy flight durations with professional qualified pilots.

    We recommend you choose our 'Extended 14 hour Tour' if you want to include a joy flight, as you may require additional time for the pre-booking process and for the flight itself.

    All joy flights are at additional expense and can be booked on the day via your guide (no need to pre-book).
  14. The Razorback
    30m · Admission ticket included
    This is our final stop. Not as well know as the 12 Apostles, but equally as impressive. You will also get a chance to walk down to the beach and hear the story of the famous ship wreck at nearby Loch Ard Gorge
