What to Expect

Step aboard your private helicopter for a pub crawl experience like no other in the Northern Territory. Instead of travelling by bus or on foot, you and your mates will fly in true Top End style, visiting four of the region’s most iconic outback pubs.

Your pilot will guide you across the striking landscapes of Darwin and beyond, showcasing rugged coastline, sandy beaches, winding estuaries, creeks, and seasonal wetlands. Wildlife sightings are common along the way, adding another layer to this one-of-a-kind adventure.

At each stop, you’ll have the chance to enjoy a drink, meet colourful locals, and soak up the character that makes these pubs famous. With stops at Crab Claw Island, Darwin River Tavern, Goat Island Lodge, and Noonamah Tavern, this helicopter pub crawl has become a true Darwin institution and one of the coolest ways to beat the heat.
