Amazing trip to get an aerial overview of how great the Great Barrier Reef is!

5.00The office staff was very helpful in doing the safety briefing and explaining what would be happening. They seemed as excited as we were to be doing this tour. Mark, our pilot was very good at finding sea life from the air and pointing it out, even circling so we could see what he was showing to all in the helicopter. I know nothing is guaranteed, but we saw a tiger shark, a lemon shark, manta rays, turtles as well as the elusive dugong! What an amazing experience! Even without the wildlife Mark pointed out to us, the reef is absolutely awesome.
One of the best experiences I’ve ever had - don’t hesitate to book!

5.00We had the most amazing scenic helicopter flight over the Great Barrier Reef. We booked the 45 minute experience. The helicopter sat 4 and both my partner and I had an excellent view. The weather was beautiful and our pilot, Mark, was fantastic. He pointed out a shark as soon as we got to the reef. We saw multiple sharks, sea turtles, manta and eagle rays, dolphins, and even a dugong from the air. Beyond the wildlife, seeing the reef itself from the helicopter was absolutely amazing. We flew over Batt and Tongue reefs and it was really worth every single cent. I wish we’d have had more time. Nautilus is top notch and the entire team took great care of us.
Fantastic trip & Mobility assistance

5.00We went to the reef with Reef magic and returned by helicopter. The sea was rough however my husband with a mobility issues was assisted from the tender boat to the pontoon and the onto the helicopter. Which we were very greatful for. Our pilot gave great commentary with insights into the reef ect below. We had wanted to do this for some years and it was fantastic and worth the wait.

5.00What a wonderful experience! Brianna and Hayley were excellent in coordinating this excursion. Definitely was a highlight of our trip… to experience the Great Barrier Reef from above was just incredible. Both of these girls were professional, kind, and provided an absolute positive experience. Brianna was a great pilot and flew the helicopter safely, and even flew so that we were able to see wildlife down below. While Hayley coordinated everything and worked the schedule so that we were able to take flight that day. 10/10 recommended this excursion!
Fantastic Experience

5.00I’d highly recommend this , it was amazing to see the reef at close range from the sky, you get a real sense of scale of it We were luckily enough to see sharks and rays and our pilot, young lady but forget her name , was amazing and gave us some great information during our trip Ground crew staff member was also really friendly
Enjoyable, informative and exhilarating.

4.00The staff are absolutely great and the pilot Mark was very experienced making it a very smooth ride. First time in a helicopter and made to feel very safe and secure. Mark explained what we were seeing. He was also an excellent spotter for marine wildlife visible from the air. Did not find the reef that spectacular from an aerial view and think it would have been better from a boat. Notwithstanding that it was still enjoyable, informative and at time exhilarating. .
Most do!
