Unforgettable Views Above a Natural Wonder

Flying over the Great Barrier Reef was one of the most breathtaking experiences of my life. From the moment the plane lifted off, the turquoise ocean stretched endlessly, revealing coral formations that looked like living paintings beneath the surface.

Not the best flight, I was in one back home, where you had much more time and informations. Unfortunately, it was quite hard to understand the pilot. Otherwise, he was very nice, the flight felt completely safe, and the views were beautiful. One of the pilots in office, however, wasn’t very friendly and had a rather strange sense of humor that made me feel uncomfortable. I’d consider trying a different company mainly because of the short time spent flying over the reefs. The rest of the experience was fine though.

Not recommended

We were waiting over an hour. They didn't prepare to flight. We waste our time.
