For a bird’s eye view of Phillip Island and its stunning topography and location, take a chopper ride that circles the island. The ride will provide some of the most spectacular views of the island. Green meadows interspersed with cottages, rows of buildings and clumps of vegetation, thick greenery and winding roads, craggy rock against which the sea unleashes its fury, and the endless blue of the sea. It also serves to orientate the visitor with the map of the island. Though the ride lasts less than ten minutes, viewing the island as well as the sea and everything else from above with the staccato sound of the helicopter as background noise, makes it a ride to remember.
Note: A 10-minute chopper ride will cost you around $80 per person.
