The most unique coral formation in Australia
While today it is one of the most famous destinations in Australia, the Heart Reef was not actually discovered until 1975. A local pilot was flying overhead when they spotted the amazing coral formation that we know today as Heart Reef, and it soon became a favourite destination of aerial tours in the area.

Today, it is an iconic symbol of the Whitsundays and Great Barrier Reef and can often be seen on postcards and advertisements promoting the area. It is common for many amateur photographers to be pleasantly surprised that their own photos may look just like the professional brochures! All the tours allow for an amazing view of the Heart Reef, with every passenger getting a window seat, where they can see the reef in all its glory and grab some amazing photos.
