Top Five Tour Flights in Australia

Imagine the sight of a troop of kangaroos leaping across the outback, seen from the comfort of a touring airplane. Tour flights offer Australian visitors and residents alike one of the best ways to tour the country, covering more ground in less time than any other tour option. When considering touring Australia from the air, consider booking one of these top tours.

For those interested in the city scene, scenic flights around Sydney Harbour give breathtaking views of Australia's capital city, its famous Opera House and the Harbour Bridge. In addition to the cityscape, flight tours of Sydney Harbour travel past Bondi Beach and the Seacliff Bridge to the south, followed by the mountains to the west of the city. Air tours of Sydney provide one of the best vistas for gaining a true feeling for the size and shape of the city.

Scenic flights to the Outback NSW provide the ideal way to tour the most rugged parts of Australia, taking passengers over the Mungo National Park. Along the way, flights touring the Outback provide guests with the opportunity to learn about the native peoples of the rugged region.

Those who appreciate the beauty of Australia's oceans can choose scenic flights around the northern beaches or tour flights to the Sapphire Coast. Flight tours that pass by the northern beaches start with a view of Sydney, followed by a low flight over the northern beaches to the Central Coast. Tours of the Sapphire Coast provide the opportunity to see the stunning sapphire waters from the air, followed by landing and a ground tour of the coastal city of Merimbula.

Tour flights around Cape Byron also provide the opportunity to explore Australia's coastal areas from the air, this time along the most eastern point of the mainland. Choose tours of Cape Byron that fly low to give a good view of the rugged coast. Keep your eyes peeled while on the flight, because this area is full of whales and dolphins, and you just might see a pod surfacing for air.
