    The trip did not start well. Email said meet 30mins before trip, however I read wrong my fault, it was 35min before for pick up, 30min if travelling with own car. Driver would not wait therefore we got taxi to airport which was fine, got there and made to wait 45 mins before take off! We were sat at the back, could not hear what the pilot was saying :( Flying over Whitsundays was amazing however I could not really see as I was sitting on left side of plane. Pilot did say on the way back we would pass it again and have photo opportunity but he did not. Overall was a bit disappointed as the trip was a lot of money and in my opinion not worth it

    It was beautiful! Really breathtaking how the Great Barrier Reef looks from above. Because it is a small plane, there was some turbulence, but nevertheless the flight is highly recommended!

    Wow! What a fabulous experience which went above and beyond our expectations. The team at Reef Adventures were very professional and extremely friendly. I’m not a confident swimmer but under their guidance I felt safe and enjoyed seeing all the beautiful fishes and corals so much. We’d highly recommend this tour.

    We had high expectations for this trip and it did not disappoint. The plane and pilot are great , yes not much leg room, bur it is a small plane. The views and the way the pilot described what we were seeing was great. Would definitely recommend

    This was such an enjoyable experience, it was wonderful to see the islands and the barrier reef from above. There were just 4 of us in the plane, in addition to the pilot, whose commentary was excellent. Would highly recommend this, you have to take this opportunity if in the Airlie Beach area.
