The views were unbelievable. The pilot was great. Having transport to and from the airport was nice.

Amazing views. Flight was a bit Ricky at times as it was windy over the Whitsunday islands but the pilot continually checked we were all ok and handled the aircraft well. Worth the money to see this one of the 7 wonders of the world
