What if your next corporate team day didn’t start in a meeting room, conference centre or function space?

What if it started with the sound of helicopter rotors?

At V2 Helicopters, we’re excited to partner with Corporate Challenge Events to introduce Charter & Challenge — a new way for Brisbane businesses to celebrate their teams, reward a successful year and experience South East Queensland from an entirely different perspective.

Charter & Challenge brings together two very different experiences: a private helicopter charter with V2 Helicopters and a professionally facilitated Corporate Challenge Events team program.

The result is a corporate event where the travel isn’t simply how you get there — the flight becomes part of the adventure.

Whether you’re planning an end-of-year celebration, leadership day, staff reward or simply looking for a corporate team building experience in Brisbane that your team won’t forget, Charter & Challenge can be tailored around your group.

Meet Our Partner: Corporate Challenge Events

Corporate Challenge Events is Australia’s leading provider of play-based team building with over 30 years of experience. More than 750,000 participants have experienced their 40+ programs, each delivered through the Trusted Play Process and grounded in the neuroscience of play. Their purpose is to inspire others on the power of play for team success.

Pair that experience with a private helicopter journey and you have a team day that begins well before the first challenge.

For larger groups, the experience can work a little differently. The challenge can begin at our Archerfield hangar, with helicopter flights incorporated into the program throughout the day so that the aviation experience becomes part of the activity itself.

Five Charter & Challenge Experiences

The initial Charter & Challenge collection includes five very different destinations across South East Queensland, from Moreton Island and the Scenic Rim to vineyards and waterfront venues.

Each experience pairs the destination with Corporate Challenge Events programs designed specifically around the location.

Sky to Shore – Moreton Island

There are few ways to begin a team building day quite like flying across Moreton Bay.

From Archerfield, your team takes to the air before the Brisbane mainland gradually gives way to blue water, islands and the coastline of Moreton Island.

The rotors start, the mainland slips away, and Moreton appears beneath you. Touch down and it’s game on. Test your team in Island Survivor, or turn the resort into your game board with Just Moreton It. When the final challenge is over, take to the sky again. The flight home is your victory lap, with everyone replaying the moments that decided the day.

Teams can choose between Island Survivor and Just Moreton It, creating a destination-based challenge that feels completely removed from the traditional corporate event.

For businesses searching for a unique Brisbane corporate team building experience, combining a Moreton Island helicopter flight with a hosted team challenge makes the journey every bit as memorable as the destination.

Above the Clouds – Spicers Peak Lodge

For a Scenic Rim experience, Above the Clouds takes your team to Spicers Peak Lodge.

The helicopter arrival is part of what makes this package special. Your team travels from Brisbane into the ranges before arriving at one of Queensland’s spectacular mountain settings.

Arrive by helicopter at 1,100 metres above sea level, with the Scenic Rim spread out below. Then the decisions begin. Build your way through Mission Impossible: Spicers Peak, or test your nerve in The Lodge: Risk Reward. On the return flight, take in the view while everyone debates who made the smartest call.

Teams can choose between Mission Impossible: Spicers Peak and The Lodge: Risk Reward.

This option is particularly well suited to organisations wanting to combine team development with a premium destination experience, while giving staff an opportunity to step away from their usual workplace environment.

Into the Vale – Spicers Hidden Vale

The third option takes your group over open Queensland countryside to Spicers Hidden Vale.

Rather than arriving by road, your team experiences the property from above before touching down and transitioning directly into the day’s activities.

Your helicopter carries the team over open country before descending into Spicers Hidden Vale. On the ground, face the twists and team trials of Survivor, or follow a trail of clues in Hidden (Fugitive) as you search for someone determined to stay unseen. On the flight home, look back over the ground you explored from an entirely new perspective.

The activity options here are Survivor and Hidden (Fugitive).

For teams wanting a more adventurous corporate event near Brisbane, this option combines problem solving, exploration and teamwork with the completely different perspective that comes from arriving and departing by helicopter.

The Estate Games – The Overflow Estate 1895

For something a little more relaxed between the competition, The Estate Games takes the experience to The Overflow Estate 1895.

The lakeside vineyard setting gives the day a very different atmosphere while still incorporating a structured team experience.

A lakeside vineyard is quite an entrance from the air. Your charter arrives at The Overflow Estate 1895, where the team can compete in The 1895 Play Offs or work together through Mission Impossible: The Overflow. Once the result is settled, take time to enjoy the estate before the helicopter carries everyone home.

Teams can choose from The 1895 Play Offs or Mission Impossible: The Overflow.

It gives businesses the opportunity to combine a private helicopter charter from Brisbane, structured team building and time to enjoy a vineyard destination in one itinerary.

The Sandstone Escape – Sandstone Point Hotel

Heading north from Brisbane, The Sandstone Escape brings the experience to Sandstone Point Hotel.

With its waterfront location, the helicopter journey and ground-based challenge create a day that feels more like an adventure than a conventional corporate function.

Start above the water. Finish with a story everyone tells differently. Your helicopter charter brings the team to Sandstone Point Hotel to race the clock in Sandstone Point Scramble or investigate a diamond-smuggling mystery in Safe Crack @ Sandstone. On the flight home, there are scores to dispute, theories to defend and a winner who won’t let anyone forget it.

Teams can choose between Sandstone Point Scramble and Safe Crack @ Sandstone.

This package combines a coastal helicopter journey with an energetic team activity and is a strong option for companies looking for an end-of-year corporate event that feels social, competitive and genuinely different.

Have Another Destination in Mind?

Charter & Challenge isn’t limited to these five locations.

If you already have a venue in mind, we can explore other approved helicopter landing locations, from marinas and mountain retreats to private venues and regional destinations.

Corporate Challenge Events and V2 can then work together to develop an itinerary around your group, subject to the suitability and approval of the landing location.

For larger teams, the program can also begin at the V2 Helicopters hangar at Archerfield Airport, with individual helicopter movements woven into the wider challenge.

What Happens When You Enquire?

Every Charter & Challenge experience is built around the individual booking rather than being a one-size-fits-all package.

When you enquire, we’ll look at your preferred date, group size and destination before working with Corporate Challenge Events and the relevant venue to develop the experience.

Flight route, helicopter capacity, destination access, timing, venue involvement and package inclusions all need to be confirmed before an itinerary is finalised.

This means your team day can be designed around what you actually want to achieve — whether that’s rewarding staff, encouraging collaboration, celebrating an end-of-year milestone or simply giving your people an experience they wouldn’t normally have together.

Why V2 Helicopters?

V2 Helicopters has been operating from Brisbane since 2009, providing scenic flights, private helicopter charters and professional flight training from Archerfield Airport.

Today, we conduct more than 1,000 flights each year, while continuing to bring the same personal care and attention to every booking.

For us, Charter & Challenge is a natural extension of what we already love doing.

A helicopter flight can transform an ordinary journey into something people remember. Add a carefully designed team experience at the destination, and the entire day becomes part of the story.

From the moment your team arrives at our Archerfield hangar to the moment the helicopter touches back down after the experience, our goal is to make the aviation side feel professional, welcoming and memorable.
