Barossa Helicopters Expands Premium Travel Experiences with the Addition of the AS350

At Barossa Helicopters, we're always looking for ways to elevate the experiences we offer our guests and travel partners. That's why Richard and I are incredibly excited to welcome a new AS350 helicopter to our fleet, bringing our total number of aircraft to five and opening up even more possibilities for luxury travel throughout South Australia.

While our Robinson R44 helicopters continue to be the backbone of our popular scenic flights, winery experiences, and regional tours, the addition of the AS350 allows us to cater to a growing demand for premium transfers, bespoke charters, and seamless luxury travel experiences across the state.

Designed for the Luxury Traveller

Over the years, we've had increasing requests from travel advisors, luxury lodges, and guests seeking efficient, comfortable transport solutions that maximise their time in South Australia.

The AS350 has been purposefully added to meet those needs. With increased passenger and luggage capacity, it enables us to deliver effortless airport transfers and tailored itineraries that connect visitors to South Australia's most spectacular destinations.

Imagine stepping off a flight and being whisked directly to:

• A luxury vineyard retreat in the Barossa Valley

• A coastal escape on the Eyre Peninsula

• A curated private tour on Kangaroo Island

• A riverfront accommodation in the Riverland

• A private luxury experience on the Eyre Peninsula

• A red wine and one of the most sought-after steaks in the Coonawarra

It's travel reimagined—efficient, exclusive, and unforgettable.

Luxury Eyre Peninsula Adventures

One of the most exciting opportunities is the ability to offer premium helicopter journeys to the Eyre Peninsula. Guests can enjoy unforgettable day trips or multi-day adventures featuring experiences such as:

• Swimming with sea lions and cage diving with great white sharks

• Private seafood experiences showcasing world-famous Coffin Bay oysters

• Luxury coastal accommodation and gourmet dining

• Scenic flights over rugged coastlines, pristine beaches, and remote national parks

  
  

These curated experiences combine adventure, luxury, and convenience in a way that few destinations can offer.

Bespoke Flinders Ranges Charters

For travellers seeking outback luxury, the Flinders Ranges delivers some of Australia's most breathtaking landscapes.

Our custom helicopter charters allow guests to access exclusive wilderness retreats, experience aerial views of Wilpena Pound, enjoy private station stays, and discover the ancient beauty of the outback without spending hours on the road.

Discovering the Riverland from Above

The Riverland continues to grow as one of South Australia's hidden gems. We offer a unique way to experience the region's winding waterways, luxury houseboats, premium wineries and breweries, and exceptional food experiences.

A Valuable Addition to Our Existing Fleet

Each helicopter in our fleet plays an important role in delivering exceptional experiences.

Our Robinson R44 helicopters remain perfectly suited to many of our signature scenic flights, winery tours, proposal flights, and intimate tourism experiences. They continue to provide guests with incredible views, flexibility, and value while showcasing the stunning landscapes that make South Australia so special.

The AS350 simply adds another layer to what we can offer, allowing us to accommodate larger groups, and additional luggage.

Together, our fleet enables us to tailor the right aircraft to each guest's needs and create truly personalised experiences.

Investing in the Future of South Australian Tourism

The addition of the AS350 represents a significant investment in the future of tourism across South Australia.

We firmly believe that travellers are increasingly seeking experiences that are not only memorable but also convenient and time-efficient.

Looking Ahead

As South Australia's tourism industry continues to evolve, we're proud to be investing in experiences that showcase the very best our state has to offer.

The arrival of the AS350 is about much more than adding another helicopter to the fleet. It's about creating new opportunities for luxury travel, supporting regional tourism, and ensuring our guests can experience South Australia in a way that is seamless, personalised, and truly unforgettable.

We can't wait to welcome guests aboard and share these incredible new experiences with them.
