We had the best experience with Finniss River on our Heli Pub Crawl. Jacqui was awesome and so knowledgeable. Honestly one of the best days on our 4 month holiday. Definitely do a Barra fishing and waterfall next trip

We had the amazing Jacqui take us on a Scenic, Swim and Pub tour! The most fabulous experience! Jacqui was an expert pilot and knew all about the land we were flying over. The water hole was so beautiful and the glass of bubbles was perfect! Could not recommend Heli Tours highly enough! It's our second time and we will be back! Thanks Jacqui for a great day!

What a weekend with the crew from Finniss river helicopters, I recently took a group of 13 fellas on a boys weekend away to Darwin and spent 3 days exploring in helicopters, everything from barra fishing which involved finding plenty of crocs and buffalo, to swimming at unreal waterfalls and doing a pub crawl to finish it off. If getting the real Territory experience is what your after you can’t go past Pirate and the unreal crew at Finniss river helicopters, they go out of there way to make it the best experience they can! Can’t wait to head back up soon Thanks again team!!
