Whitsundays 60 Minute Scenic Flight
Highlights & inclusions
What you can expect
Spend an hour flying high above the beautiful Whitsundays and Great Barrier Reef with this scenic flight package. One of the most popular flight options, it's really not hard to understand why once you're off the ground. From sights of Shute Harbour, Hamilton Island, Daydream Island, Hook Island through to the Great Barrier Reef's Heart Reef and Hook Reef, your eyes are in for a treat! Not to forget Australia's number 1 beach, and one of the world's most favoured, incredible Whitehaven Beach and Hill Inlet with its pure white sands and surrounding perfectly coloured crystal clear, aqua waters. This scenic flight truly does cover it all! With flights available any time between 8am and 4pm (subject to availability), you have the freedom to discover the Whitsundays and Great Barrier Reef at whatever time you desire. Experience Tropical North Queensland at its peak as swimmers snorkel and dive below, boats travel the waterways and holiday makers relax on the sanded shores of the islands with a midday flight. Or opt for an early morning or late afternoon flight and witness the magic and serenity of the Whitsundays and Great Barrier Reef as you enjoy views of relatively empty waterways. This scenic flight package includes guaranteed window seats, in flight pilot commentary as well as courtesy bus transfers to and from Airlie Beach accommodation, town centre or nominated locations. If you would prefer to make your own way to the departure point, flights leave from Whitsundays Airport at the main airport terminal near the baggage claim. Despite a 35 passenger capacity, each flight has a maximum of 7 passengers ensuring you a personalised flight. There is a minimum requirement of 2 passengers for the flight to operate. The ideal way to start your dream holiday, or to even end an already perfect trip, this 60 minute scenic flight is the must add addition to any itinerary!

Recent reviews
I was able to see the beauty of the Whitsundays and the Great Barrier Reef from a different perspective
It was an experience to remember! I booked the Whitsunday 60-minute scenic flight. The check-in process and the briefing prior to take-off were seamless, the staff were friendly and accommodating, and it was an added bonus for me to be in the co-pilot seat! Just before take-off, the skies cleared up and I was able to see the beauty of the Whitsundays and the Great Barrier Reef from a different perspective. The highlights of the flight were seeing the Hill Inlet - arguably the most photographed spot in Australia, and the ever-famous Heart Reef on Hardy Reef. It was an experience to remember! I highly recommend doing this scenic flight while you’re at the Whitsundays!
