One thing is for certain, there’s nothing more spectacular than taking in Sydney’s most iconic landmarks and scenery by air. The question is, having such expansive surrounds, which offers the best scenic flight experience and value for you?

If you’re looking for the ultimate scenic joy flight in Sydney, here are some options that may help you decide.

Short flying experiences

Just want to experience being in a small plane? Here at Curtis Aviation at Sydney’s Camden Airport, we would suggest a 30 minute flight following the grand Nepean River towards Penrith for an amazing aerial view of Sydney’s largest dam and water reservoir, Warragamba Dam. It will also give you a taste of how stunning Sydney’s lesser-known areas (and best kept secrets) are.

World heritage listed natural wonder

For nature lovers and those that want to dial up the scenery to the next level, a joy flight over the majestic Blue Mountains is a must. It will take about 75 mins from Camden Airport and you’ll also be seeing Wentworth Falls, Leura and the incredible Three Sisters from the sky.

Sydney’s world-famous beaches

Love the idea of buzzing Sydney’s coastline at just 500 feet above the coastline? Then our beaches tour is a scenic joy flight you can’t miss. You’ll see Palm Beach to the north, and head south past Manly, Bondi, Coogee and Cronulla, with the bonus of flying over Royal National Park, Sea Cliff Bridge (one of Sydney’s engineering marvels), and back to Camden over Illawarra’s Cataract and Cordeaux lakes.

Sydney Harbour, Opera House and Harbour Bridge

Of course, no visit to Sydney is complete without seeing the jaw-dropping beauty of Sydney Harbour…..BUT, what about from 1,500 feet above the Harbour Bridge? In just 75 mins the Sydney Harbour scenic flight will take you north to Parramatta and Hornsby, then east to Long Reef and Manly and then flying over the Harbour Bridge where you’ll get an incredible view of Circular Quay and Opera House, flying back past Taronga Zoo.

Sydney’s best scenic flight

As you can see, making the choice can be difficult with so many breathtaking options.

The great thing is, with the right scenic flight operator, it is possible to combine routes so you get the best scenic flight for you.

Take, Curtis Aviation’s ‘Sydney Ultimate Scenic’ Joy Flight package, for instance. It’s arguably Sydney’s best value scenic flight, offering

more photographic opportunities and
‘WOW’

in 90 mins than you could possibly imagine, combining their Sydney Harbour and Beaches Tour routes. This is the type of scenic flight that you will remember, and be talking about, for years to come.

Apart from the scenic flight you choose, the aerodrome you depart from and the aviation operator choose to fly with can make a huge difference to your overall experience. Curtis Aviation, for example, has extremely high professional and safety standards so your pilot will be experienced, highly qualified and committed to giving you a FUN and informative flight.

Being located at Camden Airport in Sydney’s south west, you’ve got plenty of parking and as a less congested airport than many, makes for a more convenient and relaxed place to depart from (…and often means you’re in the air faster too!).
