Absolutely amazing! The weather was a little cloudy, but the Great Barrier Reef is astonishing also! Our pilot was very cool and give us all the details about the islands we saw from the sky and also about some reefs like the famous Heart Reef. Do not hesitate twice to book your tour!

This is an absolute must! The pilot was making sure everyone on the plane gets the best view possible of whitsundays or the heart reef etc. He also had a lot of knowledge about the reef, the islands, and the area in general; what you can do and how much it costs etc. Seeing these places from above just gives you so much more perspective! Recommended!

This was a good experience. I got it at a discounted price so for 180 it was a good experience. Can’t say I absolutely loved it . The view was amazing , The pilot was good and funny . But the plane it’s self was so small . I banged my head on the way in and out and inside plane was really hot . The flight was slow . Really slow . This would be great for those who don’t like adrenaline experiences .
