Due to safety requirements and space restrictions on the helicopters, all passengers are restricted to a maximum of 15kg baggage allowance in total per person. Your 15kgs includes all handbags, camera bags and luggage, with all baggage weighed at check in. Soft duffle or cabin bags are required as they are able to fit in the helicopter boot (no hard base or suitcases please). Due to space limitations please do not bring one large bag between 2 guests. In some instances, the pilot may ask you to re-pack into a supplied soft duffle bag if your luggage is too large. Rest assured, we can securely store any of your excess luggage or hard cases at our hangar for pick up on your return trip. To assist, Orpheus Island offer a complimentary laundry service for all our guests while staying on the island (dry cleaning is not available).
Excess baggage
Please be advised that the carriage of excess baggage cannot be guaranteed due to aircraft availability and payload limitations. Any excess baggage that can be carried will incur additional excess fees payable at check in, ranging from AUD $580 – $1,410 per person. In special circumstances a Private Charter may be required at an additional cost.
Orpheus welcomes children of all ages and offers child-minding services, at a charge, by arrangement only.
