Whitsunday Islands, Australia

Heart Reef by Air

Panoramic Flightseeing in a Fixed-Wing Plane Discover the beauty of the world’s largest coral reef from high above during a scenic flight over Heart Reef. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the iconic Great Barrier Reef is composed of almost 3,000 individual reefs and 900 islands that stretch across 1,400 miles off the coast of Australia. You will transfer to the airfield, where you will meet your pilot, board your aircraft and sit in your guaranteed window seat. Then, ascend into the sky for a 1-hour flight and a bird’s-eye view of the 74 islands of the Whitsundays. Enjoy pilot commentary as you soar over Whitehaven Beach and picturesque Hill Inlet before heading out to the Great Barrier Reef to experience one of its most photographed locations, the Heart Reef. Admire this striking outcrop of coral bommie that naturally formed into the shape of a heart as you circle from above. Afterward, return to the airfield and then your ship. * Easy - Walking portions are generally over easy surfaces with few steps or inclines.
