Overview

Some of the Whitsundays' best assets are only visible from the air. Heart Reef, the naturally heart-shaped coral formation that launched a million proposals, can't be visited by boat at all, and Hill Inlet's swirling sands only resolve into their full marbled glory from altitude. This 60-minute flight collects all of it. The route is the region's aerial greatest hits: the length of Whitehaven Beach's seven kilometres of silica, the tidal swirls of Hill Inlet, out across the Great Barrier Reef's blues, and the money shot over Heart Reef itself. The fixed-wing aircraft is built for sightseeing, big windows, a guaranteed window seat for every passenger (max seven aboard), and pilot commentary connecting the dots below. Courtesy bus transfers are included, and the airport lounge is properly kitted with air-con, charging stations and cold water. One hour, every icon, and a camera roll that will bully your group chat for weeks.
