1.00They were not clear on meeting time and we missed the bus. No refund was issued. We have no idea of the flight itself.

5.00It was a great experience. Arguably the most unmissable event in Arlie Beach, it was co-piloted by the beautiful pilot sister, and it was clear to see the various punch-up points. White sand beaches and the Whitsunday Islands sea are woven together in a variety of colors, and it's only when you come that you realize it's really as beautiful as a net!
Great value day

5.00Awesome trips. Flight was amazing - great weather, views just superb. Then onto the rib with captain Ben, Tory and Georgie who were very entertaining, knowledgeable and fun. Snorkeling was 5 star in both locations. And the beaches simply stunning. So worth the money! 😀
