Hey everyone

 

We are travelling up to Airlie Beach next week and I am looking to plan and arrange some things to do. We are spending 3 days on a boat touring the islands but i really want to see Heart Reef from the air. I have been looking about and all the offers seem to be for full days with lunch/ snorkling etc but i just want the flight.

 

Can anyone recommend a company to go with that is reasonably priced and offers just the flight?

 

Thanks

Elaine

An extract:

 

Getting there:

Seaplanes and helicopters can collect you from Airlie Beach, along the coast or from an island for scenic flights over the reef. Airlie Beach is located 1115km north of Brisbane.

 

Scenic flights of Heart Reef depart from Airlie Beach. To book your rail adventure call Traveltrain Holidays on 1800 627 655.

Cheers, Bobj.

Hi, yes indeed! Loads of fab photos and the trip was fantastic, best holiday i have had in a long time!

 

We spent three days sailing, a great experience and got to see humpback whales 'play' around our boat and tons of dolphins every night. So peaceful and I have never seen stars as clear at night or stunning in my life! Highly recommend it!

We took the flight over the reef when we arrived back on land, flight was a little bumpy as the wind really picked up that day but it was great and got to see all the areas you'd expect (Hill inlet/ Whitehaven beach/ Heart Reef etc). Another experience I will never forget!

I literally have hundreds of pictures but hope the few above show how good the trip was!
