Great experience

One of the best things to do when you’re in this area. The pilot was very informative as well as handsome, says my sister! The views over the reef are tremendous and I highly recommend this trip which is excellent value for money.

Fantastic experience

Had a great time flying over the great barrier reef. Our pilot ? Jay was very friendly and made everyone feel comfortable on the flight. He also explained a lot of things, pointed things out and gave good recommendations. The views from the plane were great. Was also a nice experience just flying on a small plane. Would highly recommend.

We were waiting over an hour. They didn't prepare to flight. We waste our time.
