LUXURY HELI SAFARIS | 15 We had the most amazing experience flying over the Bungle Bungle, “we could not recommend this company, and especially pilot enough! The scenery and scale of the Bungle Bungle were absolutely mind blowing and seeing it from above made it extra special. Our pilot was an incredible tour guide and gave us lots of knowledge and insight on such a beautiful place. He was very professional, friendly and kind. We couldn’t have asked for a better day and experience! Thanks HeliSpirit! Jess S. ~ Australia
