Changes at Osborne Heli Tours

There have been some recent changes to the way we operate here at Osborne Heli Tours. Unfortunately due to the ongoing COVID challenges of 2020 and 2021, we are no longer able to operate flights on a per-seat basis and have amended our offering to a charter product. This means that flights are now booked for the whole helicopter and reservations are conducted through email or phone. 

If you have a booking with us or a valid voucher that you are yet to redeem, please get in touch with us to discuss what options are available. 

This change also means that our tour offices are no longer staffed on a daily basis as our teams are spread across other operations. For bookings and enquiries, contact through email (admin@osbornehelitours.com) or phone (03 6250 3834) is the best method. 

We’d like to thank everyone who flew with and supported us over the past few years. 

Seasonal closure 2021

Please note that from 1 MAR 2021 to 31 OCT 2021, we will be seasonally closed. Enquiries are still very welcome over this time but please call or email as our office may be unattended.
