Private Helicopter Outback Pub Tour with Lunch

About this tour

Depart by helicopter from the Barossa Valley and sweep north over Jacob's Creek, Tanunda and Nuriootpa to land at the Wheatsheaf Hotel near Allendale. Settle in for lunch and a drink with the pub's owners, and possibly encounter a local horseman who arrives on film-star steeds. The return flight traces a scenic route past Kapunda's historic landmarks—including Australia's most haunted pub and the famous Map the Miner sculpture—before heading back to base. Three and a half hours total.

• Helicopter departure over Jacob's Creek and Barossa Valley floor
• Lunch at Wheatsheaf Hotel with included welcome drink

What to expect

You'll board a helicopter at the Barossa helipad and climb north across vineyard country and valley terrain. After landing at Allendale, the pub's team will greet you and you'll order from the standard menu with your first drink included. The atmosphere is relaxed—locals drop by, and there's a fair chance a horseman with movie-trained animals will join the gathering. You can interact with the horses and chat over a beer. Once you've eaten, you'll return to the helicopter for a scenic flight home, taking in historic towns and curiosities from above.
