I decided to do something adventurous and completely new to me.

I’ve always loved flying and yet the only thing I’ve ever been on is a large aeroplane. So I thought it was time to take a scenic flight and when better than to do it over The Great Barrier Reef!

Such a good decision. This is one of the best things I’ve ever done and I even got to be co-pilot and sit at the front! It was amazing!

The Great Barrier Reef has to be the best thing I’ve ever seen in my life. I had my mouth open in awe for the majority of the flight. I’m so glad I got to see this from above. Whilst I’m sure it amazing up close too, just seeing it from above makes you realise how bit it is and how cool it is that it just goes from the ocean to the reef so distinctively.

I also got to fly over Whitehaven beach and see all the islands and luxury resorts from the air. It really was an impressive sight.

Something I won’t ever forget and highly recommended!

You can do the scenic flight as well as snorkelling and a walk on Whitehaven for a very reasonable price through a company named Ocean Rafting, the leading tour operator for trips in Whitsundays according to Tripadvisor.
