Planning a Wedding

A minimum of two helicopters are required to transport the wedding couple, celebrant, wedding coordinator, photographer, and videographer (if video is booked), each helicopter seats 3 passengers.

Please enquire with us today to find out more about pricing.
All helicopter transfers and prices are subject to change and weight limitations of 230kgs per helicopter applies.

For larger ceremonies on Whitehaven Beach there are a number of options available to transport your guests to Whitehaven Beach.

Keep in mind that your celebrant, coordinator, photographer and videographer also need to be included in your numbers, and are required to be transported to and from Whitehaven Beach via helicopter.

When choosing a boat option for guest transfers we recommend you still utilise the helicopters transfers for your own arrival (travelling separately). This adds a unique and exciting twist to your arrival!

Please note: Destinations also vary for different styles of vessels and aircraft, therefore your ceremony location must be approved and confirmed by all individual skippers and Hamilton Island Air. Ceremony location is subject to weather conditions and skipper/pilot discretion.

When disembarking from a tender boat, it will be necessary to step into the water. The height of water will depend on tide times and water/weather conditions and typically varies from calf height to thighs; if you want a romantic arrival, groom may assist in carrying his bride through the shallow water.
