Tours from the air over the Whitsundays
To truly appreciate the beauty of the Whitsundays, it must be seen from all angles. One of the best views is of the amazing islands as you set sail over the blue sea, taking the opportunity to snorkel under the waterline with some of the most amazing marine life. And then, from above, as you soar over the glistening reefs and swirling sands of Whitehaven Beach and the picturesque islands.
For most travellers who are visiting this amazing region for the first time, a scenic flight over the Whitsundays islands and Great Barrier Reef is a must and the best way to appreciate the region after an enjoyable day or overnight sailing trip.
This type of tour is by far one of the most popular tours in the Whitsundays and in its entirety and is one of the most memorable experiences as guests soar over Whitehaven Beachs swirling silica sands and see the amazing colours of the Great Barrier Reef for the first time. And, don’t forget the heart-stopping moment when you glimpse over the world-famous Heart Reef, one of Australia's most famous icons.
Scenic flights in seaplanes and helicopters are available from Airlie Beach, with a variety to choose from. You can also choose to combine a scenic flight with an airport transfer over to Hamilton Island, or with another one of our overnight or day trips.
