Brilliance of the Great Barrier Reef from the Sky - Genuinely incredible
Flying with Nautilus Aviation out to Agincourt Reef was the most incredible experience we have ever had. The beauty you experience from the sky is phenomenal. Mark is a superb pilot as are the front of house Nautilus ladies. They all went far and beyond to ensure we had the most fantastic day. We were so fortunate to spot a Minke Whale, multiple Sharks, many Turtles and a phenomenally large Manta Ray. Mark provided excellent commentary pointing out all the gorgeous local landmarks and ensured we felt safe at all times. We opted for the Fly In / Fly Out to Quicksilver Pontoon as I get seasick - thus can highly recommend this option to others who may want to avoid the 90min boat ride out to the Reef. Do not hesitate in booking with Nautilus. They are a top tier establishment, and you will have magnificent memories for a lifetime. We are still buzzing!! Thank you, Team!

Amazing trip to get an aerial overview of how great the Great Barrier Reef is!
The office staff was very helpful in doing the safety briefing and explaining what would be happening. They seemed as excited as we were to be doing this tour.
Mark, our pilot was very good at finding sea life from the air and pointing it out, even circling so we could see what he was showing to all in the helicopter.
I know nothing is guaranteed, but we saw a tiger shark, a lemon shark, manta rays, turtles as well as the elusive dugong! What an amazing experience!
Even without the wildlife Mark pointed out to us, the reef is absolutely awesome.

One of the best experiences I’ve ever had - don’t hesitate to book!
We had the most amazing scenic helicopter flight over the Great Barrier Reef. We booked the 45 minute experience. The helicopter sat 4 and both my partner and I had an excellent view. The weather was beautiful and our pilot, Mark, was fantastic. He pointed out a shark as soon as we got to the reef. We saw multiple sharks, sea turtles, manta and eagle rays, dolphins, and even a dugong from the air. Beyond the wildlife, seeing the reef itself from the helicopter was absolutely amazing. We flew over Batt and Tongue reefs and it was really worth every single cent. I wish we’d have had more time. Nautilus is top notch and the entire team took great care of us.

Fantastic trip & Mobility assistance
We went to the reef with Reef magic and returned by helicopter. The sea was rough however my husband with a mobility issues was assisted from the tender boat to the pontoon and the onto the helicopter. Which we were very greatful for. Our pilot gave great commentary with insights into the reef ect below. We had wanted to do this for some years and it was fantastic and worth the wait.

Must do excursion!
What a wonderful experience! Brianna and Hayley were excellent in coordinating this excursion. Definitely was a highlight of our trip… to experience the Great Barrier Reef from above was just incredible.
Both of these girls were professional, kind, and provided an absolute positive experience. Brianna was a great pilot and flew the helicopter safely, and even flew so that we were able to see wildlife down below. While Hayley coordinated everything and worked the schedule so that we were able to take flight that day.
10/10 recommended this excursion!

Fantastic Experience
I’d highly recommend this , it was amazing to see the reef at close range from the sky, you get a real sense of scale of it
We were luckily enough to see sharks and rays and our pilot, young lady but forget her name , was amazing and gave us some great information during our trip
Ground crew staff member was also really friendly

That sounds like an absolutely breathtaking experience! There is something humbling about seeing the Great Barrier Reef from above—it really puts into perspective that you’re looking at a living structure so large it’s visible from space.
It’s also great to hear that the team made the trip even better. A knowledgeable pilot who can spot wildlife like sharks and rays from that altitude really adds a layer of "wow" to the whole flight. It’s those personal touches from the ground crew and the pilot that turn a scenic flight into a lifelong memory.
