We had a half hour helicopter flight over Whitehaven Beach, the reef and Islands. It was magical I would reccomend it.

1.5hrs of flying time, 1hr @ Whitehaven Beach, 2hr snorkelling @ the Great Barrier Reef. Snacks and drinks offered at every stop. We found the small number of ppl on the tour (10-12) made for a much more personal tour than all the other cruise tours. Our pilot, Drew, was also the captain of the glass bottom boat at the... More

The views you get from the seaplanes are simply amazing and something which you'll never forget! The pilot was very friendly and informative and this trip provides a very private and exclusive way to view the reef. We spent 2 hours at white haven and were supplied with champagne, cheese and crackers. This tour is a fantastic experience and well... More

We went on the panorama tour with Air Whitsunday and I have to say tat its one of the best things I have ever done. From champagne on Whitehaven beach to flying over Heart reef and snorkelling the great barrier reef it was simply incredible. Our pilot Lee was really knowledgeable and friendly but laid back enough to let us... More

Loved every second of the tour (which we took mid-late Feb from Hayman Island). Mark is a legend. Keep up the fabulous work - we hope to do it again sometime soon.

We had one day to do one thing in Airlie Beach as we were in on a cruise and this was what we picked. We were not disappointed. We were lucky enough to have it be just the four of us so we had a private flight to Whitehaven beach. The waves were rough so we landed in a secluded... More

This was one of our most amazing experiences on our trip trough Australia. We had to pick up some passengers on another island before heading to Whitehaven Beach, so we got some extra flying time. The pilot was just a awesome guy and made sure everyone was enjoying their time. The views were stunning as we landed on Whitehaven Beach.... More

The sea plane carries three passengers per row so one has to go in the middle without a window. By the time the plane gets to Hayman it has filled up in Hamilton Island therefore all the couples in the plane had chosen the two window seats and our family had to go completely separated one by row in the...

Having arrived at Airlie beach and naively not pre-booked any excursions, all boat trips out to Whitehaven beach and hill inlet were fully booked for the duration of our 3 day stay. Our only option left was to book with Air Whitsunday, which was almost double the price of the boat tours, for less time. However, it was this or... More
