5.00有人會從酒店接送到機場。機長和陪同人員會在飛機上介紹所有相關的知識和地理相關訊息，講話和善風趣，給了我一次完美的體驗。檢驗大家都可以參與 這是活動完的評價 There was hotel pickup and drop-off service to the airport, which made the whole trip very convenient. The pilot and accompanying staff introduced a lot of interesting knowledge and geographical information during the flight. They were friendly, humorous, and professional, which gave me a perfect experience. Everyone was also able to participate in the activities and inspections, making the whole tour even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

5.00If you only have time to do one thing while in the Whitsundays, do this tour!! Mother Nature at her absolute finest!! Pilot Justin was wonderful, after pickup he gave us a quick safety briefing and we were off. We had headsets to communicate and he explained what we were seeing throughout the flight and answering any questions we had. Try to book while tide is falling for best results at Whitehaven. An absolutely fantastic experience from pickup to drop-off. Highly recommend!!

5.00It is impossible to miss the overflight of the islands and especially the great barrier reef. The hour tour took us to the heart-shaped reef and especially the coral reef which is absolutely incredibly beautiful, with its dream colors. You really have to push the flight this far. Our pilot Justin was very nice. We had an unforgettable time
A must do
