Description
A scenic helicopter flight over the reef is an opportunity not to be missed! You will be amazed by the stunning blue and green hues of these pristine coral sea waters and their thriving coral gardens. This flight includes incredible photo opportunities of picturesque Green Island, Arlington Reef and Upolu Sand Cay.
Many of the larger marine species can be most easily spotted from the air. Inflight sightings have included Sea Turtles, Sharks, Manta Rays, Dolphins, Dugong and even majestic Humpback Whales (Jul-Sep) during their annual migration from Antarctica, stopping by briefly to give birth and raise their calves in our warm tropical waters.

We picked it from the photos and it was even better in person. You could tell it was properly organised. The entertaining inflight commentary from your experienced local pilot in english is worth it on its own. We loved the Great Barrier Reef area. One of the best things we have booked online.

Superó las expectativas
Salimos encantados. La coordinación fue puntual y todo estuvo organizado. La zona de Gran Barrera de Coral de noche es otra cosa. El en la sala de embarque: té y café de cortesía y WIFI GRATUITO superó lo que esperaba. Lo recomendaría a cualquiera que visite Montevideo.

É daquelas coisas que a gente lembra anos depois. Pegamos um dia limpo em Gran Barrera de Coral e foi muita sorte. Não pense duas vezes, reserve.

Mucho mejor de lo que imaginaba. El en la sala de embarque: té y café de cortesía y WIFI GRATUITO estuvo a la altura. Gran Barrera de Coral tiene un clima muy especial. Avisamos que uno del grupo era vegetariano y lo resolvieron sin drama. La confirmación tardó un día en llegar y nos puso nerviosos.

Muy contentos con la elección. Llegar a Great Barrier Reef fue impresionante. No es lo más barato, pero se justifica. Sin dudas una de las mejores experiencias del viaje.

Increíble día
Justo lo que buscábamos. Muy buena relación precio calidad. La comida estuvo muy rica y las porciones generosas. La zona de Grande Barreira de Coral de noche es otra cosa. El entretenidos comentarios en inglés a bordo de su experimentado piloto local estuvo a la altura. Lo recomiendo sin dudar.
