It was a nice experience as this was my first time doing the activity.We were 7 tourists and 3 crew members. I being a novice was helped a lot by All three crew onboard :Mika, Julian and Rossy.Mika was quite moral boosting also being the skipper of the cruise and Julian and Rossy helped me personally navigate the reef since i don't know much swimming.The food was good enough.All felow passengers were also great.
This was a bucket list tour and it did not disappoint. Fitzroy Island was beautiful, the beaches and water were pristine. Green Island was amazing, we were so excited to snorkel with the sea turtles. The tour operators were friendly and knowledgeable. The snorkeling equipment was very well maintained.
The snorkelling was great especially under the jetty where large fish and turtles congregate. Take a esky with you with cold drinks and food or otherwise book lunch on the boat don’t rely on the resort food as expensive. The only thing that was on the downside was how slow the boat trip is there and back. I believe it’s due to their eco star rating that they deliberately go slow. So instead of 45m it takes 1 hr 20min which is painful as you feel like your going nowhere.
We were picked up in Cairns city and taken to the airport. Here we were given a safety talk and introduction into the plane and route we would be flying. Adrian, the pilot was really friendly and reassuring and we felt safe and comfortable in his hands. We flew in a small 4 seater Cessna plane and it felt like a private charter with just me my wife, 12 year old daughter and Adrian, the pilot. The 30 minute flight was over Green Island and other parts of the reef and was truely magnificent, worthwhile and something we will never forget. After the flight, we were also dropped of by the friendly driver at the nearby local produce market.
Amazing view of the reef from the plane, nice staff ,really young pilot that make us feel comfortable for the all flight, what else , for the price is more then worth it would of that a thousand more times!
It was an amazing experience! The day was perfect, super sunny. , the pilot very knowledgeable, and 30 minutes is the right amount of time. One of the best way to see the GBR. Absolutely recommended!
My husband and I went for this package w/ hotel pick up yesterday. The staff were very friendly and accomodating . There was a bit of shower on and off at the time we’re supposed to board on the plane but the pilot asked us to wait for 15 mins so we can have a clear view of the reef. And he’s right, here’s what we saw - pls see the attached photo. We had a good time and had a comfortable and awesome flight.
It was great experience. It was definitely the highlight of my trip. All staffs were kind and friendly. Highly recommended‼︎
My boyfriend and I flew on a very sunny day. What we saw is beyond words, we spent a magic and unforgettable moment. It is definitely worth every dollar!! Moreover, Judy responded very quickly to our booking and picked up us and dropped us at our hostel. Rohan, the pilot, made the flight very smooth and easy...
Best day of my life so far! I’ve been to the Whitsundays and Great Barrier Reef a few times and this was hands down the best tourist activity I have done! Company is very lovely to deal with, pilot is so professional and makes you feel super comfortable. Such good value for money! I’ll be back!
Best experience for my partner’s birthday We will remember it always
It was just amazing!Pilot is very nice and heli are great! I recommend! :)
An absolute must. It was one of our favourite parts of our trip. Breathtaking. Thank you Chris
Loved every second of the flight it was a dream come true.. The poilt was very imformative on all the islands.
Such good value for money using bookme! Amazing views and everyone gets a window seat. Small aircraft max 8 people including piolet. Such friendly staff and free transfers!
We want to thank you for the time we all shared... It was our second flight in a small plane but the first one in Australia, on this amazing place! I hope to do it again but this time with a sunny weather, it would probably be better even if it was quite bright, we've got amazing pictures. Thanks so much again to our pilots Billy and Rohan, we had such a good time, they are really nice and always up for a laugh. The frenchies
We had an amazing day on the Great Barrier Reef with Falla!! It was a small tour which made it very personable and more relaxing. The crew was awesome, and the Reef was spectacular! Highly recommend to all!
Awesome day out! Great staff who were friendly and helpful. Educated on the types of fish and where to go to see them. Had a nice lunch and drinks, nice size group as if it were any bigger I'd feel uncomfortable. Highly recommend doing this trip!
Nice small vessel perfect to meet other travelers and meet the lovely and experienced crew who are always there to help you out in everything :) nice food provided. Unfortunately the weather was not as great.. so always make sure to see the forecast (swell and wind conditions) if you wanna have an amazing visibility of the reef and the amazing fishies that lives there. And also if you dont wanna get sea sick:)
Great view and friendly staff
Myself and my son had a great trip. Although the weather in the morning was poor we were offered an afternoon flight and by then, the sun was out. It was a great experience and lovely to see the wonders of the reef from between 500 and 1500 feet. Thanks
Wow, wow, wow! I'm so glad I took this flight and it to see the reef from above. You really learn to appreciate it's vastness and despite being high, you can still see alot! I saw a huge shark, turtles, something that looked like big squids & lots of manta rays. The day was beautiful and clear so we could see a lot. The pilot as well as the rest of the staff looked after us all very well. From pick up to drop off they were kind and professional. I did a dive the next day and I really appreciated it more because I'd seen it from above first.
We had an amazing time on the trip! The staff were friendly & helpful, they did so well in taking care of someone who got a bit sea sick & were reassuring & joking with everyone when the water was a bit choppy. The reef was beautiful, lots of different fish. We did 2 intro dives with Jeff & he was brilliant! He made it such a relaxed experience & pointed out loads of fish & coral etc underneath. He really made sure we had a great time. Also had 2 snorkels on our own, they give you the freedom to enjoy your time but always make sure everyone is safe & do their best to see each person has a great time. Highly recommend a trip with these guys!!
I love it , and its good to hear thinks over the reef and the fish .
Paul and the crew on daytripper insured we had the best day ever on the reef ,boat was great ,reef amazing reef guide tour options. great staff ,amazing food fantastic. Would highly recommend it to anyone. No hidden charges We will definitely be back
This was a great value for money trip. The staff were really helpful and lunch was good. We enjoyed snorkelling, the glass bottom boat and the touch tank. They provide everything you need including stinger suits but my daughter was stung by a jellyfish on her face and the staff were ready to help with spray vinegar and reassured her it would stop stinging soon. After half an hour she was back in the water thanks to the quick actions of the staff so it didn’t spoil her trip. We hired an underwater camera from Calypso before the trip which I would recommend too. It was quite rough seas getting there but the travel calm tablets work, I bought some beforehand but you can also buy on the boat. If you are looking for a reasonably priced way to get to the reef do this trip. We took our two year old and nine year old and everyone enjoyed the trip to Arlington reef.
I'm so glad I found this day trip on an old pearler working boat. Crew were great, boat gorgeous, and such great teachers for newby snorkel and divers! Highly recommend. Tip - take warm clothes for when wind gets up.
The team at the Daintree Air Services taking us out to the Scenic Reef tour were professional and friendly.The flight was amazing, breath taking and beautiful.
Fantastic Day out for my family - kids said it was one of the best days of their lives & they've been to Disney Land. Excellent boat & crew, everything that you need onboard - don’t leave Cairns without seeing the reef.
Very good service from Doug and Thomas! Amazing people! Incredible service! Don't judge a book by its cover!
