Kings Canyon Scenic Helicopter Flights

Professional Helicopter Services has operated helicopter tourism in outback Australia since the 1980s and is the primary aerial sightseeing operator at Kings Canyon. The shortest option is the 8-minute Canyon Dash, which swoops over the horseshoe-shaped canyon rim and peers into its red-walled heart. The 15-minute Kings Canyon Experience extends the flight to include the Garden of Eden, the Lost City, and the nearby peak of Carmichael Crag. The 30-minute Kings Canyon and George Gill Range Experience is the most comprehensive, combining all canyon highlights with a broad sweep over the ancient mountain range.

Flights depart from Kings Canyon in the Northern Territory and complimentary guest pick-up is available from Kings Canyon Resort. No minimum group size is required, and bookings can be made online or by phone. The operator recommends contacting them directly if preferred dates appear sold out online, as waitlist places are often available.

Helicopter flights offer an unmatched view of the scale and colour of the canyon landscape, an especially rewarding experience at sunrise or late afternoon when the sandstone glows deepest red. All flights are weather-dependent and operate year-round.
