Lakes Entrance Helicopters offers scenic flights with award-winning countryside restaurant dining for summer 2023/24
Lakes Entrance Helicopters offers scenic flights paired with diverse dining experiences: brewery casual, estuary-view pub classics, and an award-winning restaurant in idyllic countryside, making for an unforgettable bucket list adventure.
Dine with a difference by taking a chopper to lunch. Lakes Entrance Helicopters combines the thrill of a scenic helicopter flight with some of the area's flagship dining experiences. You'll momentarily forget your empty stomach as you hover over impossibly blue waters of the Gippsland Lakes and Ninety Mile Beach, a clutch of islands and the world's longest silt jetties.
Nothing says helicopter-chic like stepping out under the rotors with your oversized sunglasses, breezy linen attire and a smug look
Casual affair
Take the short heli ride to Lakes Entrance's Red Bluff Brewers. Enjoy an easy-going brewery lunch featuring tacos, burgers or pizza, combined with a tour of the brewery and a tasting paddle of their easy-drinking beers. Choose your favourite beers to take back home.

Take it up a notch
Marlo Hotel has made a name for itself for its solid pub fare, enjoyed from the breezy verandah with estuary views. A longer helicopter flight takes you along Ninety Mile Beach and the pristine East Gippsland coastline to where the Snowy River meets the sea. You'll find pub classics alongside more modern flavours (think fajitas, slow-cooked lamb tagine, poke bowls and popcorn cauliflower) which can be sampled over a 2-course menu, with drinks included.

Put out all the stops
Cruising over the Mitchell River silt jetties, you'll head inland towards the Great Dividing Range. Nestled in idyllic countryside, land at Tinamba Hotel, the destination restaurant housed in a charming heritage hotel. The delicate flavour combinations, thoughtful menu curation and exceptional cheffery has led this restaurant to being awarded a Chef's Hat in the Australian Good Food Guide awards.

Indulge in a 3-course lunch paired with wines, in the elegant dining room. Expect to find such delights as hand-made tagliolini with spanner crab, wild venison ragout with blueberry or confit duck leg with a cherry jus, finished with fig leaf creme caramel with rhubarb and elderflower. This is one for the bucket list.
