Kings Canyon & George Gill Range Helicopter

Take to the skies over Kings Canyon and the George Gill Range for a fresh perspective on one of the Red Centre’s most striking landscapes. From your seat in a helicopter, you’ll sweep over the ancient canyon walls, follow the rugged spine of the range, and spot country that simply can’t be reached by road. It’s a brilliant way to grasp just how vast and layered this part of the outback really is.

As you fly toward Petermann Pound and back via Back Canyon, keep an eye out for camels and brumbies moving through the open country below. Your pilot will share local insight along the way and help you line up the best angles for photos, so you can relax and enjoy the views. With departures from morning through to sunset, this is a smooth, memorable flight that shows off Kings Canyon at its most dramatic. If you’re ready to see the Red Centre from a whole new angle, this is the one to book.

Know before you go: - Passengers need a moderate to high level of mobility, as steps and platforms are used to board and exit the helicopter. - Closed-toe, non-slip shoes are recommended, and long sleeves are a good idea when temperatures allow. - Courtesy pickup is available from Kings Canyon Resort Reception; guests staying in the campground should select either the helipad meeting point or resort reception pickup at booking. - Pickups are not available from inside the campground or from the service station. - Departures operate daily from 8:30am through to sunset, weather permitting. - If you’re weighing 125kg or more, a comfort seat must be purchased in advance. Infants aged 0 to 1 travel free on a parent or guardian’s lap.
