    One of the best way to see the 12 Apostles and the nearby rock formations is by Air. The 12 Apostles Helicopter Company is a local institution with a perfect safety record to boot. They offer a number of different joy flight durations with professional qualified pilots. We recommend you choose our 'Extended 14 hour Tour' if you want to include a joy flight, as you may require additional time for the pre-booking process and for the flight itself. All joy flights are at additional expense and can be booked on the day via your guide (no need to pre-book).
