This would have to be one of the best ways to see the Dandenongs, on the back of a Harley. You can be picked up from Linden Gardens and taken on a scenic tour from 1 hour to half a day. A great way to to get an overall Dandenongs experience from the sights to the fresh air all from the back of a late model and customised solo or sidecar Harley Davidson chauffeured by Andy and his many riders.
The scenery in the Valley and Ranges is amazing enough as you drive through them but imagine the view from above as you float gently over the vineyards and rolling hills.

Ever wanted to try your hand at flying an aeroplane! Lilydale's 40 minute Adventure Lessons allow you to do the flying with an experienced instructor from just $140.

If you really want to make a great impression, this is the way to do it.

Alternatively, just go sightseeing over the Ranges and Valley. If you have something in mind you can discuss this with your pilot so a flight can be tailored to suit your requirements.
