This was the most amazing experience that we will remember forever. We were picked up on time from our accommodation and Justin was the perfect host, guide and pilot. Helicopter was very clean and comfortable. We experienced quality time on beautiful Whitehaven beach and flew over the most amazing views of the Islands and reef. Thank you Justin for the most memorable day. Would thoroughly recommend.

Niels was a brilliant pilot. We were visiting in rainy season so Niels was flexible during the day to make sure we found a safe window to fly whilst still having an amazing flight experience over the reef. Would definitely recommend Niels and this company
Brilliant experience

We had an amazing trip this week to see the Great Barrier Reef and land on stunning Whitehaven Beach. The personal helicopter ride was fantastic and our pilot Justin was just great. Spectacular flight out to the reef and then 90 mins to relax on the beach with a picnic and a couple of drinks. This has been the best experience of our trip so far and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Airlie Beach.
