Amazing experience and staff are so friendly we had a great pilot
A beauty without equals
The largest coral reef in the world could not be seen only by snorkeling but had to be seen from above, and so we did before leaving by booking a scenic flight. With two of our companions and four other people, we boarded a small plane and flew over this stunning coral reef. There are no words to describe the beauty you see, something I have never seen in my life, and I am so happy to have experienced it.
What you can expect
Treat the whole family to one of Australia's most popular scenic flight experiences. Soar over the white sands of Hill Inlet, the crystal blue waters of Whitehaven Beach, and see the iconic shape of Heart Reef. See all this from the comfort of a modern, Wi-Fi and toilet-equipped aircraft that'll have everyone comfortable throughout the entire flight.
The experienced pilot also doubles as a tour guide, giving in-flight commentary through a headset, meaning the kids (and grown-ups) can learn interesting and fun facts about Australia's coastal landscapes. This experience includes complimentary bus transfers from Airlie Beach, making for a seamless and stress-free ride. Whether travelling with little ones, teens, or the whole family, this scenic flight will make for an unforgettable experience. So buckle up, get comfy, and let the Whitsunday Islands amaze you.
