5.0This is a great tour. Its expensive, but if you can manage it it is a wonderful way to see the Great Barrier reef. My wife and I are from the UK and have never seen anything like it. It was magnificent to see. We also flew over Whitehaven beach and we had been on a day tour to the beach the day which is also highly recommend. The pilot was friendly and knowledgeable & the the plane ride was surprisingly smooth. It was one of the highlights of our time in Australia.
Best vacation decision!

5.0Amazing flight! I wish we would have planned our snorkel trip with them. They were well organized, timely and responsive. Everything you would want for a special tour. The plane ride was absolutely breath taking. The sights and views were beyond what words can describe. I would highly recommend them.
