If you’ve ever wanted to experience the true spirit of Queensland’s outback charm, our Wild West Helicopter Pub Crawl is just the ticket. Imagine dust and grass underfoot instead of sand, and an adventure that’s truly off the beaten path. We offer both Full Day and Half Day options: five classic country pubs starting at 9:30 AM, or a three-pub Half Day adventure kicking off at 11:30 AM.
Your journey starts and ends at Archerfield Airport, but if you have a preference for a different location, we can arrange that too – just get in touch with us. The Wild West Pub Crawl is perfect for larger groups, accommodating more helicopters and promising a memorable outing for everyone involved. This is an experience that changes with each run, thanks to the vast expanse of the Darling Downs and the Scenic Rim—every trip has its own character, with new locations and stories waiting to be discovered.
We encourage fun, and good time, and a couple of drinks, but we also have a keen eye on safety and ask that intoxication levels never affect safety of the experience. Your day will feature 45-minute stops at each pub, with a relaxed 1.5-hour break for lunch to soak in the local flavor. This is not a rigid itinerary—it’s a flexible, fun-filled adventure where you get to enjoy each venue to the fullest. Since we want you to have the freedom to choose what you eat and drink, the cost of food and beverages have been taken out of the price
While the coastlines of Brisbane and the Gold Coast are iconic, the western hinterlands offer something different—a side of Queensland you might not have fully explored yet. Our Wild West Pub Crawl gives you a chance to discover the vastness, heritage, and charm of the sprawling countryside. From rustic wrap-around verandahs to friendly locals, each pub tells its own story, and each has a claim to being Queensland’s most quintessential watering hole. At the end of the day, you’ll get to decide which one takes the crown.
Whether you’re a Brisbane local or visiting for the weekend, the Wild West is waiting to show you and authentic Ausie experience

Most of our customers upgrade to a Brisbane CBD Scenic, if you’re looking to make the tour even more special, the Gold Coast Scenic flight really does take the experience to the next level. If you’re looking to get from the airport and back the fastest, or on a budget the direct flight is the choice for you. Don’t worry, we do not implement techniques to up-sell every flight, or treat any of our customers differently – everyone gets the same Bekaa Air service
Spice up your flight with a Brisbane City scenic. You will be taken past St Lucia and the Gabba, across the Brisbane River. Past Kangaroo Point and the botanical gardens. We will bend a left around the Meriton to showcase the northern side of Brisbane. Then we will complete an other arc flying past West End and Southbank. All this at a perfect height of 1000ft (300m) above the terrain bellow.
Please note that the City is inside Brisbane Controlled Airspace. Whilst we do everything possible to secure a clearance into this airspace sometimes due to unforeseen circumstances [such as a rescue helicopter coming to land] we may not be allowed in. In this case we will fly past South Bank and West End at the edge of the controlled airspace we will then make a left turn and fly overhead Mt Cootha and the TV Towers giving you a view of the entire Brisbane area. If it’s clear you will be able to sometimes see all the way to Southport and the Glasshouse Mountains

This Gold Coast scenic flight is simply breathtaking. This scenic flight doesn’t just span to South Port/Sea World. We are going to fly coastal southbound all the way past Q1 and Broad Beach at 1000ft. Then we are going inland to take a look at the city from the western hills. Endless Beaches, beautiful skyscrapers and brilliant blue water. No wonder it’s called surfers paradise

Drinks are not included in the tour price. We’ve done this for a couple of important reasons. Firstly, it allows us to offer a more flexible pricing model. In the past we had to price the tour with the thirstiest of guests in mind. Secondly, it removes the pressure to drink excessively in an attempt to “get your money’s worth,” ensuring a more enjoyable and responsible experience for everyone
Yes. All of our aircraft are equipped with the best Noise cancelling headsets by Bose. They are crystal clear and cancel out a significant portion of the outside noise. Your pilot will also provide commentary and let you talk between each other
Whilst there is no laws restricting us to a certain age; passenger safety and taking care of you, our customers is always our number one priority. This is why we have made the decision to set the minimum age at 3. Infants who are younger are still developing their neck muscles. In the event of turbulence which is minor nuisance to adults can lead to whiplash in infants. Adult sized headsets fit poorly over their heads which can also lead to hearing damage. The flight can also be sometimes frighting for them, which can take away from the experience. Best leave them at home with a baby sitter and enjoy the helicopter flight
There are no height restrictions
In our R44RII helicopter which most flights are based on the maximum seat limit is 136kg and maximum payload is around ~270kg
Our Airbus AS350/H125 helicopter can seat 5 passengers without an individual weight limit
Perhaps a low bar to clear. Anyone who had a flight cancelled for any reason would have gone through the painful process of trying to get a refund. We did everything possible to make our cancelation policy one of the best. We are certain that you won’t find anywhere that offers a policy as transparent and flexible as ours
If you would like to reschedule your flight we ask that you do so with a 24 hour notice. Within this window our full refund policy applies
On the day if we deem the conditions to no longer be safe to fly, Bekaa Air customers can either reschedule to any other day or receive a 100% refund. If the weather is marginal (aka safe to fly but affects the experience, eg when it’s raining) we can offer full refund or to reschedule your flight to an other day
We do not offer refunds for no-shows or cancelations inside the 24 hour period
Our gift vouchers are available at no extra cost and can be redeemed anytime within the 3 year validity period. You can also upgrade your flight or transfer the voucher to another person without any additional charges. These vouchers are processed by hand and will be emailed to you after you submit your purchase. You can find a sample of what the vouchers look like by visiting the provided link here
We account for about 45min per pub stop and 1.5hrs for lunch. Ultimately within the time-frame of the pub crawl, it’s up to you how long you would like to spend at each pub
Our helicopter tours depart from Archerfield Airport in Brisbane. The Half Day Pub Crawl usually starts at 11:00/12:00, while the Full Day Pub Crawl usually starts at 9:30. It’s important to note that our tours are private and customizable, so if you have specific preferences for the start time or any other aspect of the tour, we’ll be happy to work with you to accommodate them. Our goal is to ensure that you have a memorable and enjoyable experience on your helicopter pub crawl, so please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any special requests
Yes. Unlike a commercial jet, your phones do not need to be turned to airplane mode. Nor do we charge extra for this
This is what makes our approach unique. All of our tours, including the scenic flights – are private. This means that when you book your flight for two people, we will not sell the remaining seat to anyone else. Whilst this inadvertently means we make less on each flight, we have made this decision so we ultimately provide a better experience for our customers
Let’s get the most important question you have out of the way first, we want you to have fun do not limit our customers to one beer per venue. However – it should be noted that this is not an opportunity to get drunk at 2,000 feet. Safety is paramount, and so are the rules around aircraft boarding whilst intoxicated. Additionally we love and we baby our helicopters, we dedicate hours per aircraft each week just to clean and look after them. We don’t contract some detailing company to do this; we do it ourselves – every day we fly. Please keep this in mind when ordering one too many. It’s about the experience; one which you want to remember!
