Incredible Day

Our family had a wonderful time the entire day. The flight with Bradd was breathtaking, professional and a highlight of our trip. We got a great sense of the expanse of the reef and Bradd provided great commentary/information the entire time. We also enjoyed Green Island. We brought our own snorkles so we chose the glass bottom boat. Our kids LOVED it. We got a nice overview of the coral, saw a huge turtle, a reef shark and many fish. I highly recommend this package to anyone.

Spectacular flight

This scenic flight was spectacular and by far, the highlight of my trip to Australia. Everything from the hotel pick up to the actual flight was very professional and staff were very nice. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to experience the Great Barrier Reef from the air!!
