The Reef & Island is a signature scenic flight in Airlie Beach. The 60 minute flight includes all of the best sites that the Whitsundays and Great Barrier Reef have to offer. It’s easy to understand why the Great Barrier Reef is one of the seven natural wonders of the world, the amazing contrast of colours is something that’s best experienced from the air. Taking off from Whitsunday Airport, your tour takes you over most of the 74 islands in the Whitsundays. You’ll see the island resorts dotted around the islands as you head toward Whitehaven Beach and the renowned Hill Inlet. Enjoy two passes of Australia’s best beach and then head out to the Great Barrier Reef. Included in your tour is the famous Heart Reef, nestled amongst the bright colours and patterns of Hardy Reef. On board, everyone enjoys a window seat, a pilot commentary and superb views from the fleet of high wing aircrafts.
