Our flight was cancelled due to severe weather but I wanted to leave a review of how well this company and the employees handled this. They picked us up quickly and did everything possible to make our flight happen. I was very impressed at the fact that they did not take us up just to keep our payment when the sightings would have not been good due to the weather. The operation is very professional and I was very impressed with everything from start to finish. They even returned my Father and I back to our ship at the port even thought that was not required or promised. Very impressed.

I had the absolute pleasure of seeing the Great Barrier Reef and the entire Whitsundays islands on the scenic plane ride. It was by far the best part of travelling Australia for me.

After having to defer our flight due to bad weather the team worked hard to make sure we had a great experience. Everything was great. The commentary was informative and even though there were clouds the flight was spectacular. Would definitely recommend this company. Bonus that it leaves from Shute Harbour and not Proserpine.

Just returned from an hour long flight over the Whitsundays and it was truly awesome, from the driver who picked us up, bang on time, to our pilot, Talin, who was fantastic. He was so knowledgeable, both about the area and the conditions we were flying in. He told us when we would get the best photos and videos. He also told us when it was likely to be a little turbulent, in case any of us were a tad nervous. I absolutely recommend this trip. We loved every second of it. Thank you to everyone at Oceanrafting/flyraft.

Incredible flight experience with amazing views.
Everyone gets a window seat. We did not have air conditioning in ours, that was a con.
A little bit expensive but worth it.
