Sights that take

your breath away

Get a new perspective.

Let's go on an aerial adventure.

Owned by flight-enthusiasts Lisa and Richard, Turquoise Heli Experience is here to help you see Jurien Bay from a new perspective. Flying has long-been a part of our personal heritage. In fact, our passion for quality heli flights stretch back to the 1950s, when Lisa’s father, Capt James Ferguson, was a helicopter pioneer.


James was heavily involved in Skippy the Bush Kangaroo as Bell-47 owner/pilot — a TV series that captivated audiences worldwide in the late 1960s. He also spent time supporting rural Indigenous communities with medical transport, as well as being a Lieutenant in the Fleet Air Arm, Sir Reginald Ansett's private pilot, a gravity surveyor and remote heli transporter in PNG . Capt Ferguson passed his love for flying onto Lisa, who now gets to share the interest with her husband, who is coincidentally a keen flyer and professional pilot with over 35 years experience!

Fun fact

The Skippy the Bush Kangaroo helicopter is iconic and is called a Bell 47. It is easily recognisable by its unique bubble-shaped windshield and cockpit. It’s the same type that we use at Turquoise Heli Experience; when you tour with us, you’ll enjoy a ride in this beautiful classic helicopter.
