Aviation Tourism and Adventures office is located at 2927 Shute Harbour Road Whitsunday. Whitsunday Heliport QLD Australia. 500 meters before the Whitsunday Airport entrance We are open 365 days per year. Aviation Adventures specialise in the Bell 47 Kawasaki KH-4 and are owned by local identity Capt\'n Pete Ryan who has over 7000 hours experience.The configuration in the KH-4 positions the pilot up front with 3 seats behind allowing us to take 2 or 3 adults, or 2 adults and two children. At the height of change in the tourism industry here in the Whitsunday’s, Capt’n Pete Ryan saw the launch of a new aviation company – Aviation Adventures. He realised a niche market existed for a small operator to offer highly personalised helicopter tours & transfer operations out of mainland Airlie Beach and therefore, established Aviation Adventures as a specialised company to fill the gap the competition had created. A point of difference from our competitors was required. Attention to our clientele & the aircraft best suited to the tourism industry were targeted. The Kawasaki KH-4 “Bubble” helicopter is cost effective to operate & has the flexibility to carry up to three adults or two adults & two children. However, its selling point was that it has best visibility of any aircraft, enhancing a truly beautiful part of Australia. With the clear Perspex “Bubble” as the front view & the “Doors off” option for window seats, Aviation Adventures sets the standard for seeing the Whitsunday’s as they should be…… not through a window.A thorough understanding of both the market & industry, combined with an innovative marketing plan has lead to broad product recognition & spectacular growth for Aviation Adventures since commencing operation in October 2001. The company currently has two “Bubble” helicopters & employs 5 team members with hopes of further expansion. Aviation Adventures operates unique tours & transfers servicing Airlie Beach, Daydream Is, South Molle Is, Long Is, Hamilton Is, Lindeman Is, Hook Is, Laguna Whitsunday & surrounding areas. Our tours range from 10 minute Scenic Adventures to half day exclusive picnics taking in the Great Barrier Reef, Whitehaven Beach & the Whitsunday Islands from the air.Our specialty is simply providing unsurpassed views of the Whitsunday’s.
