Wonderful experience - This is a great tour. Its expensive, but if you can manage it it is a wonderful way to see the Great Barrier reef. My wife and I are from the UK and have never seen anything like it. It was magnificent to see. We also flew over Whitehaven beach and we had been on a day tour to the beach the day which is also highly recommend. The pilot was friendly and knowledgeable & the the plane ride was surprisingly smooth. It was one of the highlights of our time in Australia.

A highlight of our trip - Nothing can prepare you for the amazing views of the Great Barrier Reef and Whitsundays islands from the air!! This activity was a real highlight of our trip and I would 100% recommend it. Our pilot Jordan made the experience even better with the fun facts and general info he imparted throughout the tour!

Best vacation decision! - Amazing flight! I wish we would have planned our snorkel trip with them. They were well organized, timely and responsive. Everything you would want for a special tour. The plane ride was absolutely breath taking. The sights and views were beyond what words can describe. I would highly recommend them.

Go gogogo - From start to finish a faultless activity! The meeting with the bus to the pickup was perfect and on time. The wait on site before boarding the plane was not too long. On site there is a snack which is very convenient. There are also secure lockers to leave your belongings if needed. Finally the flyover is extraordinary, we take full eyes! It's magical, unforgettable but too short!!! We took dozens of pictures to capture the moment! What's certain is I'll be back.

Stunning - I did the Heart Shaped Reef flight for my 50th birthday and wow it was stunning.. Our bus driver that picked us up and dropped us off was very informative and funny.. I was even wished a Happy Birthday.. Our pilot was friendly and very knowledgeable explaining on all the islands etc that we were seeing down below.. It was absolutely amazing seeing everything from above the colours were exactly like you see in pictures in brochures etc but just beautiful seeing it for myself.. My friend and I couldn't stop talking about it for hours later how good the flight was.. Definitely an experience I'll always remember.. Thank you
