From Bondi we head back into the Harbour and, as we circle the Harbour Bridge and Opera House, even seasoned locals find the vista truly stunning. On descent back to Rose Bay our pilot points out the beautiful houses of the rich and famous that punctuate the area, before gently splashing back down to earth.

Flight and Romantic Picnic to a Secluded Beach

We feel honoured to have been chosen as the occasion on which many have taken the plunge and proposed! It comes as no surpirce – flying along Sydney’s exquisite Northern Beaches sets the scene for a truly special day. Your pilot picks out a beautiful secluded beach, accessible only by water, and drops you complete with a delicious picnic. From here you’re left to your own devices in the beautiful natural setting. Bring a beach towel – swimming in the clear blue water is a must. The arrival of our Beaver seaplanes means it’s time to return to civilisation. We try to make the transition a little easier by flying a lap of Sydney Harbour before landing at Rose Bay
