Arrived at the Helipad for our allocated time 9am. However, was unable to fly due to weather conditions. Rhiannon was brilliant dropping us off at our accommodation. We informed them we were free all day . Around 3pm we got the call saying the pilot was happy with the conditions and off we went. We did the 45 minute outer Reef tour. Our pilot was brilliant and she pointed out some of the wildlife. Saw turtles, dolphins 🐬 and rays. The flight and the Barrier Reef are out of this world and I would highly recommend to anyone.

Absolutely amazing. The pilot, Duane, was brilliant and pointed out sharks and turtles that we wouldn't have seen. The girls were very good with the briefing and Stephanie even ran us back to the port.

The staff was very professional. Pilot John quickly put our two slightly nervous granddaughters at ease. Seeing the GBR from the air was a dream come true! The girls can’t stop talking about the experience. Highly recommend!
