Absolutely SPECTACULAR!! Highly recommend! - What an absolutely magical experience on our 10th wedding anniversary! My only regret is not booking the ‘Fly Raft Package’ so we could have not only seen it by air but also experienced the pristine white sand of Whitehaven between our toes!

Jackie, Galway, Ireland - The most spectacular views I have ever seen. Plenty opportunities for great photos. From pick-up to drop-off, the staff were so friendly & helpful. An absolutely amazing experience!

Absolutely amazing company/experience! - Me and my partner took the scenic flight over the Reef and the Whitsundays this morning and I cannot say better things about not only the magnificent scenery, which is like something out of a dream! But the organised, professional and friendly staff. The pilot made me feel completely at ease and talked us through everything we flew over. It was an incredible, bucket list experience. Our luggage was also lost by another tour operator which has been a worrying few days for us, and the lovely lady on reception at ocean rafting kindly organised the company to collect it for us whilst we went on our flight. If it wasn’t for them we would have missed this amazing experience so we thank you and appreciate you guys so much. Thank you so much 🩷

Scenic flight Whitsunday - A fabulous experience. A must do if you are visiting the Airlie Beach region. Professional operator who will take small groups (max 9) on a 60 min scenic flight over Whitsunday islands, Whitehaven Beach and then on to the Great Barrier Reef and Heart Reef. All pax have a window seat and passes are made to allow both sides of the aircraft a view of highlights. Commentary provided by pilot is interesting. Highly recommended.

10/10 - Me and my friend booked this scenic flight over the reefs and the Whitsundays. This is definitely a MUST while you are in Airlie beach. The reefs from that point of view is indescribable.. we were also lucky enough to see whales and manta rays and even a turtle! Our pilot Alex was great, he made sure that everybody on the plane got to see the most and was very informative about the islands we were flying over. He was also just a nice bubbly person which I think makes such a difference when you do something like this. An added bonus is that they do a shuttle from the hostels/hotels to the airports and back.

An amazing experience! - A must do trip, well organised by a really friendly team. We arrived at the airport by ourselves but there is an excellent pick up service for everyone if needed. We had a short wait and then a talk with our pilot and a photo opportunity by the plane before boarding. I was a little anxious about the getting into the small plane but our pilot was very reassuring. There were six seats pre- arranged by weight of passengers but everyone had clear views through the wide windows. The views were stunning - sights and colours of Whitehaven Beach, Hill Inlet, the Reef and the islands are beautiful and we even saw whales! Reef island is actually quite small but our pilot gave us good warning and flew over it twice so that both sides of the plane could clearly view it. Although it could be seen as a bit pricey the tour is definitely value for money as how else could you see such amazing sights and cover such a distance! Highly recommended!

An epic experience - The flight out over the Reef was absolutely spectacular and most memorable. Our pilot was very informative and made the trip even more pleasurable. I would highly recommend this flight when you visit Airlie beach.

Paradise in Whitsundays - Absolutely the best way to get a good appreciation of the reef. Visited the reef many times but the flight made me appreciate what we have to share with the world.
