The flight over the Great Barrier Reef, unforgettable! - Flying over the Great Barrier Reef is an experience not to be missed if you can afford it. The view is breathtaking.
The flight lasted a good half hour in a small plane, the weather was splendid and we made the most of it. The pilot was very friendly and enthusiastic.
A wonderful morning
