Everyone always hypes up "sweet sixteen" birthdays, but Kendall Jenner had an unforgettable seventeenth birthday on Saturday, Nov. 3.

The young model was already living it up in Australia for a Miss Teen Vogue cover shoot, but her mother Kris -- who turned 57 on Monday -- kicked it up a notch by taking her daughter to an airfield for a surprise helicopter ride around the exotic location.

Kendall was spotted posing next to their new ride before gearing up for take-off, with her mother tweeting, "Ok here we go @Nomadrj what a crazy adventure."

Where did the mother-daughter duo land?

"We just found the biggest rock and landed on it!" Kendall gushed on Instagram while sharing a photo of herself relaxing in a strapless bikini.

The 17-year-old -- who even got a chance to fly the plane that took them to another hot spot -- was all smiles as she posed in her flip flops and fedora in the wide open landscape.

The Keeping Up With the Kardashians stars also tweeted pictures of  the crystal blue waters in "paradise" later that day, suggesting that they stopped to splash around a bit during one of their other island adventures.

With a picture of a sunset falling over a secluded beach, the "momager" wrote on her Twitter:
