This isn't just a fantasy, it's how a custom aerial adventure begins with Barossa Helicopters. As one of South Australia's premier helicopter tourism operators, we offer an unusual way to experience the region's much-loved pubs, blending the thrill of scenic flights with genuine country hospitality.

Soaring Above South Australia's Country Pubs
For decades, we've been flying guests across South Australia since 1986, and our helicopter pub crawls are a testament to our passion for aerial experiences and private helicopter charter in SA. Leaving the Barossa Valley, guests fly above South Australia's changing landscape, taking in vineyards, farmland and distant mountain ranges spread out below. Each journey is designed with the guest in mind, prioritising both wide-open views and the smooth, professional service Barossa Helicopters is recognised for.
Our pilots, with decades of aviation expertise, guide guests on a scenic flight across South Australia, transforming the simple act of travelling between pubs into part of the day's entertainment. The journey itself becomes part of the day's enjoyment, offering photographic opportunities that simply can't be captured from the ground. As the helicopter gracefully approaches each destination, the excitement of an exclusive helicopter landing sets the tone for the characterful welcome waiting at every stop
The Wheatsheaf at Allendale North: A Barossa Welcome
The aerial pub crawl often includes a stop at The Wheatsheaf Pub in Allendale North, a cherished local institution nestled just beyond the Barossa's immediate wine country. This classic country pub offers a warm, inviting atmosphere, a stark contrast to the grandeur of arrival by air. It's a place where locals and visitors alike gather, sharing stories over a cold beverage and enjoying hearty, traditional pub fare.
Stepping out of the helicopter and into The Wheatsheaf, guests are immediately enveloped in an authentic Australian pub experience. The historic walls whisper tales of generations past, and the friendly faces behind the bar offer genuine country hospitality. It's an ideal spot to savour a refreshing ale or a glass of local wine.
Overland Corner Hotel: History & Mystery
Extending the aerial adventure further afield, the Overland Corner Hotel offers a truly intriguing stop, steeped in South Australian history and local legend. This magnificent stone structure, a former police station, courthouse and changing station, stands proudly by the Murray River, telling stories that stretch back to the 1850s.
Here, guests can delve into the famed "Haunted Pub Experience", uncovering the fascinating history that has shaped this well-known South Australian establishment. From tales of bushrangers and riverboat captains to unexplained phenomena, the Overland Corner Hotel provides a captivating backdrop for this leg of the journey. Enjoy a beverage and a meal, perhaps contemplating the spirits of the past, before being whisked away once more into the sky.
