    I would highly recommend this excursion. Our pilot was friendly, professional, and informative. The flight was smooth. The views of The Great Barrier Reef were indescribable- the beauty was beyond imaginable. We saw several whales as well. It was the perfect day!

    This is a not to be missed experience in Airlie Beach. I had a wonderful time and although I've snorkeled the reef it was amazing viewing it and the Whitsunday Islands from the air. Definitely recommend!
