Bay City Seaplanes offer a range of exciting short duration joy flights available on a regular basis. Departing from the vibrant Geelong waterfront, the flights are an excellent way to experience the thrill of the seaplane experience, at a minimal cost.

All flights operate daily from the purpose built pontoon located at Steampacket Quay, at the shore end of Cunningham Pier. They start from a basic Geelong flight at $35.00 Per Person.*

 

Geelong
 

This is a short introductory flight with a total duration of about 15 minutes of which about 5-6 minutes is spent in the air. This is ideal for the younger children who may display anxiety or for those prone to motion sickness. It may be short but it’s fun. The flight offers an aerial view of Geelong and the magnificent waterfront together with the thrill of a water take-off and landing.

Duration @15-20 minutes $35.00 pp*

Torquay, Bells and Ocean Grove

 

This is a longer joy-flight for those with a little more time on their hands.

From Geelong we track along the Surfcoast Highway to Torquay and over the world renowned Bells Beach. Down to 500 ft along the coast we track east to the entrance of the Barwon River, and the towns of Barwon Heads and Ocean Grove.


We over fly the pristine beaches such as 13th Beach, The Bluff and the popular Ocean Grove front beach and then track along the Barwon River, over Lake Connewarre back to the Waterfront at Geelong. This flight provides a great snapshot of the Bellarine Peninsula and the beauty of its beaches.

Duration @ 30-35 minutes $75.00 pp*

Bellarine Penninsula

By far the longest of the three standard joy-flight options.

This is a truly interesting flight. Departing from the Geelong waterfront, we head east over the amazing array of salt lakes that form part of the Chetham salt works. Then it’s coastal along the northern coast of the Bellarine Peninsula over notable features such as Scotchmans Hill vinyards and settlements such as Leopold, Clifton Springs, Drysdale and eventually Portarlington.

From overhead Portarlington we follow the coast to Indented Head and the still visible wreckage of the Ozone paddlesteamer, then it’s south to St Leonards. Further to the south we track seaward to over fly the picturesque Mud Island, then coast bound again to see Swan Island, Queenscliff and Point Lonsdale.

At Point Lonsdale we look over the notorious Rip, and arguably some of the most treacherous waters of the world.

Proceeding west, we return to our coastal sojourn of the magnificent Surf Coast, with an exiting flight along the beaches of Point Lonsdale, and Collendina to the towns of Ocean Grove and Barwon Heads. It's here we pick up the inland track of the Barwon River following its winding path across Lake Conewarre and back to the City of Geelong.
