AIR WHITSUNDAY
There’s only one thing that is more amazing than experiencing the Great Barrier Reef first hand … and that’s
experiencing the Great Barrier Reef from the sky! With Air Whitsunday, you can see the region from an angle
you’ll never forget. Since the 1970s, Air Whitsunday has been operating seaplane services throughout the
Whitsunday Coast region, operating out of the beautiful Airlie Beach.
The view of the Great Barrier Reef from the sky is unsurpassed: you’ll have a rare opportunity to see exactly
how enormous it is, to view the colours and the shades of the marine life, the coral, the islands teaming with
greenery and white beaches. There’s nothing quite like it. Your pilots are passionate about the local area, dedicated to providing you with a unique opportunity, and experienced in the area’s history and taking care of the
local environment: in fact, it was one of these pilots who discovered the very famous Heart Reef back in 1975.
At Air Whitsunday they offer a range of tours to suit all ages. They operate a fleet of luxury Cessna Caravans
and classic de Havilland Beaver and are the largest seaplane operator in the Southern Hemisphere. They also
have a private semi submersible vessel for all reef tours. Their reef location is completely private and allows for
a truly intimate experience.
Any snorkeling equipment is provided for you, and reef tours are scheduled around low tide to suit all level of
experience for snorkelers. Choose from the Panorama half day tour from the air; Reef Adventure Tour which
includes flying and glass-bottom boat; Whitehaven Experience which includes time to relax and swim; and the
comprehensive Reef & Whitehaven Scenic tour, which includes a thrilling water landing!
