Overall we enjoyed the scenic flight! Seeing the reef from a different perspective was amazing, the pilot was very informative and had great local knowledge. However the customer service was lacking overall, plane inside needed higher level of maintenance and the place needed a tidy up.
Thank you for your feed back , yes the cleanliness of the enterior of the plane is the Pilots responsibilly, however some times they think they are at home . Thanks for the comment on the office , unfortunatley thats what happens when you have six foot of water wash away every thing in the office , , Im pleased the Pilot was able to give you lots of local knowldge, his been here in Queensland about a week , so I guess his local knowldge is a reflection on the Standard of training the Pilots receive from management. Would you be kind enough to let us and the readers know more about this level of maintenance you mentioned , I think thats very important as the planes are kept to the highest standard of maintenace. We all look forward to your response , especially about the maintenance. Regards Daintree Air Services Management
Great experience!
