Taylor K, 26 Jun 22
Wow, so much fun!! I have never laughed so much - couldn't keep a smile off my face. It just you and the pilot, Nick, so he is able to tailor the flight exactly to your liking. The aerobatics were just insane! Such an incredible view over the Whitsundays as well, and neat to say you've seen it upside down ;) An absolute MUST do for every adrenaline junkie!! Thanks Nick!
Liz Y, 24 Dec 19
I highly recommend! My partner and I both had such a great experience flying with Nick in the stunning Yak Plane. What a unique way to see Airley Beach and the Whitsundays from high up and upside down! Nick took me for some incredibly exciting aerobatics and it was well worth it and left me smiling everytime I think about such a top experience.
Arnaud, 24 Dec 19
I lived in Airlie Beach for couple of years and I’ve always seen that red plane looping over the lagoon then I decided to have a closer interest and met nick the pilot. Passionated person he take pride to show you how it works, when you combine his knowledge with a big engine, 74 ilsands on a blue turquoise water uspsidedown I would say that it’s a must to do in Australia and not only Airlie Beach. Thank you nick I will come back
Alexander M, 24 Dec 19
Can't recommend this enough. Forget the usual guff, this is something that needs to be experienced from the G to the upside down scenery. Pilot Nick is super cool in his approach and execution of aeronautics.
