The Tailor Tours

Bungie Helicopter Tours

Overview

Main Information

Established in 2000, Bungie Helicopters offer scenic flights, heli fishing, air transfers and a broad range of Australian journeys exclusively to guests of The Tailor. Each journey is designed to enthral, enrich and elevate the experience of discerning travellers within the Cape York region of far north Queensland.

Cape York, located on the northernmost tip of Australia, is a rugged and remote wilderness area known for its rich Indigenous culture, diverse wildlife, and stunning natural landscapes. Bungie Helicopters have combined multi-day itineraries with bespoke accommodation in some of the remotest parts of the region, most only accessible with special permits given by the First Nation Custodians, to create once-in-a-lifetime journeys through the territory.

Flying a Robinson R44 Clipper II, Bungie Helicopters identifies as an environmentally aware business with a focus on sustainability. The Robinson R44 has a significantly lower fuel consumption and noise footprint than turbine helicopters, making it more practical and efficient for operating in environmentally sensitive World Heritage areas and urban locations.

Designed for passenger comfort and viewing pleasure, the helicopter can cruise at speeds of up to 200km/h, making it perfect for visiting multiple sites in one day or getting from point A to point B quickly.
