Traveler reviews
An incredible scenic...
An incredible scenic flight over the Great Barrier Reef! The views from the plane were absolutely breathtaking, with stunning blue water, beautiful coral formations, and endless coastline. Seeing the reef from above gave us a completely different perspective and was truly unforgettable. The pilot and staff were friendly, professional, and made the whole experience smooth and comfortable. Everything was well organized from start to finish. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip and highly recommended!
Worth the scream!!!!
We initially booked the wrong trip as we wanted more snorkeling than beach, we were switched easily and quickly with communication being great, friendly and efficiently. We flew with Brooke on a very windy day. She reassured us that the bumps etc were normal and nothing to worry about, so we were relaxed and enjoyed the scenic flight. Brooke was very knowledgeable and gave us commentary all the way with quite a few funnies in there. We then went to the boat, we had Sasha as our captain and Corbyn his right hand man. These two were a great double act and very good at what they did. I’m sure Sasha enjoyed seeing us getting soaked and screaming throughout the trip, but I felt safe 99% of the time, it was just the glint in his eye that you knew something was coming (I had sore cheeks from laughing)!!! Corbyn took us on the hike and snorkel, he was also very knowledgeable and looked after us very well. We have had a few trips in Australia and wed say this is one of the most enjoyable and professional (and scariest). I’d definitely do this again. Thank you Brooke, Sasha and Corbyn PS I hope I’ve mentioned your names enough times!!!!
Well organised and...
Well organised and friendly staff. Our pilot Jordan gave us a nice trip even our day was super windy. My mother has serious motion sickness and she survived too! Thank you team.
Amazing trip, would highly recommend
The best trip I've ever done. Our pilot Joey was great - friendly, knowledgeable and considerate. We were lucky to have a blue sky day and the views of Whitsunday Island and the Great Barrier Reef were unbelievable. Would highly recommend.
Disappointing pilot, but great barrier reef always a beauty
The flight was bumpy, our pilot seems incapable of making the journey smooth, slept through the flight between Airlie Beach and the great barrier reef. GBR is always beautiful, but it was a quick minute before flying 20mins back. Ground staff was friendly. But our pilot Joel? was below par.
