Best activity ever around Airlie Beach - Amazing experience.
As a professional pilot, I can say that the team is exceptional and I highly recommend to fly with them. The tour is amazing and the pilot not only shows excellent customer services skills but also comments all phases of the flight.

Unforgettable Experience - Truly unforgettable experience. Seeing the heart of the reef is incredible and totally worth the price. We had a one hour flight over Whitsundays and the Great Barrier Reef. We had plenty of time to enjoy the view and the pick up service from Airlie Beach worked smoothly.

Very impressed with their professionalism - Our flight was cancelled due to severe weather but I wanted to leave a review of how well this company and the employees handled this. They picked us up quickly and did everything possible to make our flight happen. I was very impressed at the fact that they did not take us up just to keep our payment when the sightings would have not been good due to the weather. The operation is very professional and I was very impressed with everything from start to finish. They even returned my Father and I back to our ship at the port even thought that was not required or promised. Very impressed.

Stunning trip - After having to defer our flight due to bad weather the team worked hard to make sure we had a great experience. Everything was great. The commentary was informative and even though there were clouds the flight was spectacular. Would definitely recommend this company. Bonus that it leaves from Shute Harbour and not Proserpine.
