Full description
Delight in a 60-minute scenic flight over the Whitsunday Islands and Great Barrier Reef. Enjoy the big window views from your comfortable fixed-wing aircraft, and learn all about the area with your experienced pilot's expert commentary. After pickup from your accommodation in Airlie Beach, head to the nearby airport for take-off. Unlike flights offered by other companies in the area, the local partner is able to take-off from much closer to Airlie Beach, saving you the long 40-minute travel time. Once up in the air, marvel at the best bird's-eye views of the 74 Whitsunday Islands. Fly over Whitehaven Beach and picture postcard Hill Inlet before heading out to the Great Barrier Reef and experiencing one of the most photographed reef locations Heart Reef. After you land, transfer back to your accommodation in Airlie Beach.

Sublime, a pilot who wants everyone to be able to have all the magnificent views that this flight offers. The view is just sensational and magnificent in its beauty, it is worth doing without hesitation to discover the wonders of the Whitsundays and the coral reef seen from the sky

The flight over Whitehaven and the barrier reef is unforgettable, it is something you cannot miss if you travel to that area. Our pilot Tim was not very talkative and perhaps could have given us more explanations, but the important thing was that we all had a window seat so we wouldn't miss anything.

Really well organised and included hotel pick up. The pilots were really good at walking you through the activity and what we would see during the flight. Everyone got a chance to see the highlights including the heart reef. I would highly recommend this trip if you want to see the barrier reef from an unbelievable view point. Thanks to the pilots and guides!
