We strongly recommend that you have travel insurance, especially during the wet season.

In the unlikely event of your trip being cancelled or stood down, all guest communication is required to go through our Online Store via telephone or email.

Just great. Thanks.
Mandy Li, 02 Jan 23
It is excellent for half hour helicopter flight over Whitehaven Beach, Hill Inlet, Heart Reef and the Great Barrier Reef. Once at Reefworld, we spent some time on snorkel the reef, but we could see only few fishes not much.
