Awesome experience. The colours were amazing to see from the air. Heaps of viewing area in the plane also.

Great views. Lovely trip. All went smoothly from pick up to return. Very friendly staff who explained everything around us.

What an absolutely magical experience on our 10th wedding anniversary! My only regret is not booking the ‘Fly Raft Package’ so we could have not only seen it by air but also experienced the pristine white sand of Whitehaven between our toes!

A must do trip, well organised by a really friendly team. We arrived at the airport by ourselves but there is an excellent pick up service for everyone if needed. We had a short wait and then a talk with our pilot and a photo opportunity by the plane before boarding. I was a little anxious about the getting into the small plane but our pilot was very reassuring. There were six seats pre- arranged by weight of passengers but everyone had clear views through the wide windows. The views were stunning - sights and colours of Whitehaven Beach, Hill Inlet, the Reef and the islands are beautiful and we even saw whales! Reef island is actually quite small but our pilot gave us good warning and flew over it twice so that both sides of the plane could clearly view it. Although it could be seen as a bit pricey the tour is definitely value for money as how else could you see such amazing sights and cover such a distance! Highly recommended!
