Half-day or full-day. A curated route across islands, coastline, and hinterland pubs – built for maximum “wow”.

Fun, Run Properly

Safety first. We don’t “one-beer” you – but we do operate under CASA rules and a strict boarding-sober policy.

THE EXPERIENCE

An Australian

Rock-Star Day Out.

Guaranteed Private: Just your group. No sharing seats with strangers.
Risk-Free Booking: Full refund up to 24hrs prior. (Competitors demand 7 days).
Cabin Comfort: Full air-conditioning. Relax in climate-controlled luxury throughout your tour.
Weather Policy: We never fly in poor weather. Reschedule or 100% refund for your peace of mind.
100% Safety Record: Zero Accidents. Uncompromised Safety Culture.

Temporarily unavailable. This route is paused while Point Lookout and Couran Cove remain closed. We’ll bring it back as soon as those island stops return.

When operating, this is the island variant of our helicopter pub crawl, built around Moreton, Straddie and coastal venues rather than the main Brisbane pub crawl route. If you want the route that is operating now, see the Brisbane Helicopter Pub Crawl.

From the cabin you’ll often spot dugongs, turtles, stingrays and whales in season. On the ground, the day moves between island brewery pours, seafood stops, ocean outlooks and laid-back coastal pubs. Each stop is typically around 45 minutes, with more time built into the lunch venue.

Choose the 3-stop version for a half-day island greatest-hits run, or the 5-stop version for the full beaches-and-broadwater day out. Groups remain private and we can scale the experience for larger groups with multiple aircraft when needed.

VENUE SPOTLIGHTS

Meet the

Stops.

The Gutter Bar

The classic Moreton Island beach pub stop. Fresh seafood, oysters, big blue water and the kind of landing that makes the whole route feel ridiculous in the best way.

Point Lookout

A Pacific-facing pub stop with genuine holiday energy. Drinks, barefoot bowls and ocean views made this one of the signature landings on the islands route.

Straddie Brewery

A three-level brewhouse in Dunwich serving fresh beer inspired by the island itself. Great paddles, relaxed atmosphere and one of the strongest lunch-stop options on the route.

Harrigan's Irish Pub

Calypso Bay broadwater views, tropical gardens and a polished Irish-pub fit-out. This is the mainland contrast that gives the islands route its range.

Couran Cove

A South Straddie resort stop with wallabies nearby and Sunset Beach only a short walk away. It is one of the key reasons this version is currently paused.

Beautiful Beaches

The flying is part of the experience. The route threads together Moreton Island sand, North Straddie coastline and broadwater channels with wildlife often visible below.

Scenic Add-ons

Brisbane City and Gold Coast scenic add-ons can be layered into the day when the route is operating, turning the pub crawl into a bigger helicopter adventure.

Availability Update

Point Lookout and Couran Cove are currently closed, so this route is temporarily unavailable. We’ll bring it back as soon as those venue pieces return.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Before you

Take Off.

Are drinks included?

Drinks are not included. This keeps pricing fair and removes the pressure to drink excessively “to get value.” Order what you want at each venue and enjoy the day responsibly.

Intoxication policy

We want you to have fun, but this is not an opportunity to get drunk at 2,000 feet. We operate under CASA rules and a strict boarding-sober policy. If someone is intoxicated, we won’t fly. The goal is a premium day you remember.

How long is each stop?

We typically allow about 45 minutes per pub stop, with a longer lunch stop (~1.5 hours). The day is private and flexible, so we can tailor pacing within operational constraints.

How to book your flight

The most efficient way to book is online. We accept all major credit cards, Apple Pay, and Stripe. Please note that we only place a temporary hold on your funds initially. We do not capture the payment until we have personally confirmed your preferred departure time and sent your final itinerary. If your preferred time slot is unavailable, we will offer immediate alternatives. If those do not suit, we release the hold on your funds instantly. If you prefer to book over the phone, please call 04908 177 27.

What’s your cancellation / weather policy?

We offer the industry’s most flexible policy. If the weather is unsafe, you are entitled to a full refund or a reschedule. If the weather is safe but marginal (e.g. rain affecting the view), we give you the choice to fly or move the date. We simply ask for 24 hours notice for customer-initiated changes.

Will we be sitting next to someone?

Never. Every booking with Bekaa Air is 100% private. Whether you book for two or four, the helicopter is exclusively yours. There are no strangers, just you and the view.

What are the age/height/weight restrictions?

We are proud to be the only company equipped with an aviation-approved booster seat to accommodate our younger guests! To ensure safety, proper neck support, and headset fit, our minimum age is 12 months, with no height restrictions. For weight distribution, individual passengers over 130kg must contact us prior to booking. Additionally, for bookings of up to 3 passengers flying in our R44 helicopter, the maximum combined weight limit is approximately 250–275kg. Manifests exceeding this combined weight may be required to upgrade to our larger Airbus H125 (which involves pricing for a minimum of 4 seats) to safely proceed with the flight.

Do you have operating hours?

We fly 7 days a week. Most flights depart between 8:30am and 5:30pm. Sunset flights shift with the seasons to ensure we capture the best light for your experience.

Can we bring bags or luggage?

Small handheld bags and cameras are welcome. For larger luggage, please contact us in advance so we can ensure payload limits are met.

Location, Parking & Meeting Point

Our flights depart from our private facility at Archerfield Airport, Brisbane. We have a private parking area located directly next to the hangar. Your confirmation email includes a map and specific meeting instructions. If you have any trouble finding us on the day, you can call your pilot directly for guidance. (Note: Custom pickups from private properties can be arranged subject to a landing safety assessment).

What are your helicopters like

We fly modern, air-conditioned aircraft maintained to the highest commercial standards. Our fleet features floor-to-ceiling glass for panoramic views, ensuring there are no pillars blocking your sight. We take great pride in presenting an immaculate aircraft for every flight.

What should we wear?

We recommend smart casual attire. For safety reasons, please wear closed-toe shoes and avoid flip-flops or loose sandals. We also suggest securing any loose items like wide-brimmed hats. Sunglasses are highly recommended for the glare.

Buying as a gift?

Yes, we can issue a digital gift voucher at no extra cost. All vouchers are valid for 3 years, giving the recipient plenty of time to choose their perfect date. We can email the voucher to you immediately after purchase.

Can we talk during the flight?

Yes. You will be equipped with professional Bose noise-cancelling headsets. These allow for crystal clear conversation between passengers and the pilot throughout the journey.

Motion sickness - should I worry?

Our aircraft fly incredibly smoothly, so motion sickness is very rare. If you are sensitive to motion, please let your pilot know beforehand. We can adjust our flight path and flying style to ensure the most comfortable ride possible.

Go-Pro UHD Footage

We can mount a high-definition camera in the cabin to capture the scenery or face it towards you to capture reactions. This is a popular addition for proposals. You will receive the raw footage on an SD card immediately after landing.

What if we’re running late?

Please call us immediately. We operate a tight schedule but we will do our best to accommodate. Significant delays may result in reduced flight time to ensure subsequent passengers are not inconvenienced.

Walk-ins and flights at short notice

We always try to accommodate short-notice requests, though weekends are often fully booked in advance. Please be aware that we do not accept walk-ins. Every flight is prepared specifically for you, and we do not have reception staff on standby as your pilot is likely already in the air.

This islands route is paused for now. We’ll bring it back when the signature stops reopen.

Point Lookout and Couran Cove are temporarily unavailable. Check the route update above and we’ll reopen this experience as soon as the islands circuit is back.
