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.

Rose_V

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!

A must do when in Port Douglas! Brook meet us and explained the details prior to getting into the helicopter so well for us to feel very safe and said it would be a fantastic experience. Luke was our pilot, he was very knowledgeable of the Port Douglas area and very friendly with good banter! We were lucky to see a few green turtles and manta rays as well as the Port Douglas version of the famous Heart Reef! To see the reef from this view really topped our honeymoon! It definitely was a fantastic experience, we highly recommend.
