What is the difference between the Harbour Flight and the Grand Flight?

The standard Sydney Harbour Flight covers the city skyline, Sydney Harbour, the eastern coastline, Botany Bay, and landmarks such as the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. The Grand Flight extends the route to include Sydney's northern coastline as well. Both are available as shared or private options.

What happens if the weather is bad on the day?

Flights generally proceed in overcast conditions or light drizzle provided visibility is acceptable. If the pilot determines conditions are unsafe, you will be offered the choice to postpone or reschedule — you will not simply lose your booking.

Can I bring an infant or young child?

Children under 2 travel free but must sit on an adult's lap, and a private flight must be booked for any group travelling with an infant. Children aged 2–11 must be accompanied by an adult.

Is there a weight limit for passengers?

The maximum weight per individual passenger is 135 kg. If you are booking for two passengers and your combined weight is 180 kg or more, you are required to book a private flight rather than a shared one.

Is the tour accessible for passengers with disabilities or reduced mobility?

Passengers with disabilities can be accommodated. Please contact the operator after booking to describe the level of assistance required so they can make appropriate arrangements.

Can I book if I am pregnant?

Pregnant passengers are permitted on the flight, but the operator recommends consulting your doctor before confirming a booking.
