EXPERIENCE
Get ready for the ultimate day out! This unforgettable experience combines history, amazing scenery, mouth-watering food, and some of South Australia's best country pubs. Start your adventure with us at Barossa Helicopters as we take you on a thrilling journey through four iconic pubs, showcasing the best of the Barossa, Riverland and Light regions.
First Stop: Sedan Hotel – Country Charm and Hospitality
Your adventure begins at our heli-pad in the Hoffnungsthal Valley, where you'll board your helicopter and take off for a scenic flight across the Barossa. As we ascend, we’ll point out the breathtaking Dry Stone Walls and glide over the expansive plains before landing at our first destination, the Sedan Hotel. Known for its warm, country hospitality, you’ll have the chance to relax with a cold drink and soak in the charm of this traditional Aussie pub. With a long history in the region, it’s the perfect introduction to your day of exploring South Australia’s country pubs.
Second Stop: Swan Reach Hotel – History and Stunning River Views
Next, we lift off and follow the Murray River to the Swan Reach Hotel, a hidden gem perched on the river's banks. This historic venue, with origins dating back to 1865, offers spectacular river views, a taste of South Australia’s rich past, and a chance to indulge in a refreshing beverage. Explore the original homestead remains, take in the stunning scenery, and unwind before continuing your journey.
Third Stop: Overland Corner Hotel – A Hauntingly Good Time (Lunch Included) From Swan Reach, we soar over the majestic winding Murray River toward our next destination, the Overland Corner Hotel. As we approach, you’ll see the incredible swamp lands, showcasing nature at its best. Once a hub for paddle steamers and drovers, this historic pub is now a must-visit destination, known for its eerie stories, local legends, and award-winning country hospitality.
Landing at the Overland Corner Hotel, you'll be welcomed by the friendly team and treated to a delicious lunch while you sample the largest selection of local craft beer, wine, and spirits in the Riverland. Be sure to explore this piece of history and take in the unique atmosphere. You’ll quickly see why this pub was crowned #1 Best Country Pub in SA for 2021!
Final Stop: The Wheatsheaf Hotel – Food and Fun After soaking up the hauntingly good vibes at Overland Corner, it's time to take to the skies once more. Flying back toward the Barossa, you’ll experience incredible scenery as we pass over historic sites, lush vineyards, and picturesque countryside.
Our last stop is the legendary Wheatsheaf Hotel, where you’ll be greeted by the dynamic duo Mark and Chelsea. This spot is known for its fantastic food, and you’ll have time to settle in, enjoy a delicious lunch, and maybe even meet the local horseman, Tom Willoughby, with his movie-star horses! This is a true outback experience with plenty of laughter, storytelling, and a laid-back country vibe.
The Return Journey – Kapunda and Beyond With your belly full and a smile on your face, we’ll take to the skies one final time, passing over the historic town of Kapunda, known for the "haunted" North Kapunda Hotel and the famous "Map the Miner" statue. We’ll glide over the stunning Barossa Valley, giving you one last chance to soak in the views before touching down back at the Hoffnungsthal Valley.
This is more than a pub crawl; it’s a day of discovery, adventure, and memories that will last a lifetime. Book your spot today and let Barossa Helicopters take you on the ultimate aerial pub crawl experience!
