Reef views, experience of a lifetime. - Outstanding views of Reef, a landscape (seascape?) you can’t imagine until you see it. Well organised, punctual, good safety considerations.

Great experience with good photo opportunities - The tour is the best you can get to see the great barrier reef from the air. Lots of photo opportunities, every photo you take from above is perfect.

Leaves you speechless - This is a sensational experience. Just amazing. We were fortunate to be blessed with a sensational day. The pilot was knowledgeable and informative. Be aware that if you have any mobility issues or you are physically big, the planes are small and space is tight. It is what it is and that is what allows you to have the experience. If there was a spare seat on a flight after ours I would’ve done it again in a heartbeat.
