The Nautilus Aviation flights will take off from Buchanan Park with two options available – either a 10 minute flight over the CBD or a 20 minute flight over the CBD and Lake Moondarra.
The new heli flights are part of a range of visitor experiences on offer for the rodeo, including behind the scenes chute tours.
These popular tours give rodeo fans a guided tour behind the chutes, normally strictly off limits during competition, except to competitors and officials.
These tours are available only in combination with a “Gold” class seat, which guarantees a reserved seat in prime viewing position opposite the chutes for the event.
If you have visitors coming to town for rodeo, a great way for them to see the sights are on one of our tours. New this year is the Mount Isa Discovery Tour which takes visitors above and underground and ends with a breathtaking sunset over a desert lake.
The Mount Isa Unearthed tour visits local attractions, there’s also a Rodeo Experience and Ultimate Rodeo Experience Tour.
The Ultimate Rodeo Experience includes a three-day gold seat pass, the Isa Rodeo Street Party, Mailman Express, Bush Poets Breakfast, Mount Isa Unearthed Tour plus a premium chute tour.
If you have visitors coming to town for rodeo and can’t squeeze them in at home, we have a brand new Pop Up Tent City in addition to our usual Swag City.
The Pop Up Tent City is the ultimate in convenience – the tent is set up for you, with all bedding, linen, camp chair and even a hot cooked breakfast on the weekend.
Please also be aware that there will be no entry to the rodeo precinct without a ticket.
A rodeo ticket not only includes the usual rodeo entertainment, including a free nightly concert but also includes a free Ashton Entertainment circus and circus workshop, where you can have a lot of fun learning rodeo skills.
We have really focused on providing great value and family entertainment, and have a special locals’ ticket deal available until June 30. If you buy two adult tickets ($30 per person) online via www.isarodeo.com.au, you will receive two free children’s tickets by entering the code LOCAL.
