This helicopter tour was the highlight of our stay in the Whitsundays. It totally lived up to all our expectations. Our pilot, Flynn, was very friendly and very knowledgeable of the area. We would, without hesitation, recommend this tour to our family and friends.

This is a once in a lifetime type experience. We were able to take some amazing photos of the reef, and the landing and taking off from Whitehaven island was memorable. The beach is clean. Liam our pilot was knowledgeable and calm and answered all our questions. I have no hesitation in recommending this experience.

From start to finish this was a truly fantastic experience. My friend Elise and I had a great flight and morning out on Whitehaven as a part of my birthday trip to Airlie Beach. On top of that our pilot Chris was brilliant and simply second to none All in all can’t recommend this flight option enough as it’s one of those lifetime experiences you don’t want to miss!
