Great Barrier Reef Scenic Flight and Ocean Rafting Whitehaven Beach Day Trip

The flight was the best of the day and we got the opportunity to see the heart of the reef. The pilot was sweet to allow both sides of the passengers to take nice pics. Majority of the time is the rafting. There was one bushwalk and beach swimming, following by two snorkeling. They provided wetsuits when people are in the water. There are also noodles available for people who can't swim. Overall a well organised day trip.

The trip was really nice, even if the weather was not amazing, our guide on the Jamain were awesome and makes us having a great time

they are making a decision to book. The first portion of the tour is a scenic flight over thI was a bit disappointed in this tour for reasons I will list. for some this may be a perfect tour. It all depends e reef with advertised emphasis on heart reef. Heart reef is small, but you literally get a countdown to be prepared for the less than 10 seconds you have to see it and take a photo. The pilot will rotate so the other side can do the same, but the frustrating part is most people want to see the heart reef and it is disappointing that they won't spend more time giving people this opportunity. Part two is the rafting experience. If you are looking for a high speed boat ride then this will be the perfect tour for you. The majority of it is whisking through the waters being jarred left and right. If you have a bad back, etc this might be too much for you. I was definitely sore the next few days without a bad back. What bothered me on this tour is once you get to the tour locations you are rushed through like cattle. You are rushed off the boat, even told to jump off the side rather than climb down the thin stairs that go partway into the water. You are rushed to not take photos stating that you need to get to the inlet because there won't be much time until you have to get back on the boat for lunch. Theon what you are looking for. I will be as honest as possible in order to help someone like me when re are naturally multiple tours there and it becomes an assembly line of standing in front of the inlet before being whisked back to the boat. Once arriving at Whitehaven beach were were barely off the boat before told to load once again to eat on board. A section of the seating was used for food display which left less space for sitting and people were crowding onto each other to eat. We had the misfortune of a windy day so food was flying off plates and the birds were eagerly waiting for a treat. We were once again whisked to the snorkeling locations another 40 minutes away. If you are not an independent strong swimmer I DO NOT recommend the tour. THe staff does not get in the water to help or assist, despite my asking a guide earlier who said she would. The time spend at the snorkeling areas was slight which I guess was ok considering the current. The focus was not on making sure everyone was prepared to go in the water and more on expecting prior experience. Another guest was an experienced swimmer, but new to snorkeling and told me she was scared.

Ein traumhafter Flug neben dem Piloten... tolle Sicht mit Erklärungen. Anschließende Bootstour mit Schnorcheln hervorragend. Mittagessen sehr lecker!
