      A successful package. Super scenic flight with a super nice pilot, followed by a boat trip and lunch on Greenisland. The flight time was not too short, the staff super friendly and easy. You had enough time to snorkel and run around on Green Island. Only if you are unlucky you will meet a large horde of Asian tourists at the lunch buffet who simply do not understand any rules and sneak past on all sides

      It was a fulfilling tour where you could see the Great Barrier Reef from the sky and actually swim on Green Island. The day was canceled due to bad weather and the flight was canceled, but he rescheduled the next day. Thanks enjoyed the wonderful view. I am very grateful for being on the fly. If you come to Cairns, we recommend flight and cruise & snorkeling.

      Since there're only 4 passengers flying with the pilot, can't 2 of us sit at the last 2 seats rather than the middle 2 seats? I was seated at the left middle seat & had to strain my neck to see things through the window, which is to the side & back of me! Also, the headphones volume CAN'T be adjusted, so I'd to endure the sudden loud commentaries by the pilot.
