BEACH
PICNIC
__________________________
Price: $850 per couple
Fly from Rose Bay out through Sydney Heads and northwards along
the fabulous Beaches and dramatic headlands to Palm Beach. Your
stay at the beach will be approximately 3 hours. Bring your swimmers,
towels and sun screen, and if it is forecast to be a very hot day,
some extra water perhaps. We supply a beach blanket, the picnic
hamper, cold drinks and a bottle of fine Australian wine. Most special
food requirements can be accommodated. Your gourmet picnic is catered
by the kitchen at the fabulous “Boathouse Palm Beach”.
We return you to Sydney Harbour on a fabulous scenic flight that
concludes with a double orbit at the Bridge and Opera House.
Note from Steve, your pilot: "Please note that we do not
advertise a 'secluded' beach. It is almost impossible to find a
secluded beach in Sydney and surrounds. We can take you to a little
beach on the western side of Pittwater, however, I usually suggest
that you disembark at Palm Beach where you will have the full surf
beach - a couple of kilometres of sand and surf - to find a special
spot, or you have the option of the calm beach on the Pittwater
side. If that doesn't suit, there are many nooks and crannies amongst
the rocks and sand of the Barrenjoey Headland or take a walk up
to the lighthouse where you will have fabulous views of the Hawkesbury
River mouth, the southern end of the Central Coast, the Tasman Sea
(Pacific Ocean) as well as Pittwater to the city.
