Just stunning

I was absolutely in awe all the way through my flight, the views were unreal! All the staff were very friendly and our pilot Cameron was great, pointing out everything we could see as we flew over the reef. 100% recommend, the best way to see the reef!

An amazing experience!

Seeing the Great Barrier Reef from the air was absolutely breathtaking. The views were stunning the entire time – crystal-clear water, amazing reef shapes, and so much more than you can see from a boat. Our pilot was friendly and informative, pointing out highlights as we flew. We enjoyed every minute – such a special way to experience the reef. Highly recommend!

Love the Reef

Great to book in, but thought we were getting a helicopter ride as that is what I googled. Happy with plane ride though. Maybe make it more clear. Thank you
