Had great flight over the barrier reef. Our pilot was excellent and told all names of reefs we flew over. He also found several manta rays swimming in reef. He made sure both sides of plane were able to see all

I went on a scenic flight to the Great Barrier Reef with Daintree Air Service. It was an excellent experience! The staff was professional and friendly, providing top-notch service. The pilot was exceptional, ensuring everyone had a view by circling the plane twice throughout the more than 45-minute flight. Overall, I highly recommend it; I was thoroughly impressed.

BETTER THAN A HELICOPTER! This experience was great. The company was highly professional yet down to earth. The safety brief was informative and funny. ITS THE LITTLE THINGS! Like clean windows so we can take photos without scratches or smear marks. Like the pilot turning the plane to both right and left sides so we could see what he was talking about. Also going around a rain patch instead of thru which was both picturesque and stopped rain drops on the windows. The reason I reckon it’s better than a chopper is we were at 1000-1500 metres and we got a great over view of the reef rather than being lower and having a smaller scope, unless you want to land on an island, a chopper would be better. The 40 minutes was made up of 20 minutes over the reef and its small islands and 10 minutes flying out to the reef and 10 return both giving views of Cairns and its surrounding islands and maintain ranges. Great commentary even listening to the pilot communicating with other pilots as well as the tower. All in all well with the money which is cheaper than a chopper and in my opinion better views overall. We felt safe, comfortable and considered for a very scenic view

Must do when in Cairns! You don’t get a real feel of the Great Barrier Reef unless you see it from the top :) The service was extraordinary. Loved Greg who showed me his personal photo collection of indigenous drawings he found throughout the years. He was very fond of his homeland nature and people ❤️ The staff is like a small family, I could see they love what they do. They had amazing sence of humor and continuously monitored the weather to make sure we are safe. The day I arrived there was a storm so flight was cancelled - they offered to refund me or reschedule. I chose the latter as I dont give up easily and flew couple days later :) And it was SO worth it. I was sat right next to the pilot who was guiding us through the entire flight and made sure we get the best view of the reef. One of the best experiences I had in my life 🥰

I booked a flight for my hubby and I as a surprise Christmas present for hubby. Cyclone Jasper decided to visit the week before and these guys were up to their knees in flood waters. I called a day before to see if it was going to be the usual FNQ "can do" situation post cyclone. Yes it was! "Business as usual, we'll see you when you get here"! The flooding had not dampened these guy's spirits at all. They had even managed to rip up all the carpets and resurface the floor in the waiting area. There's cool fresh water and cups on hand in addition to immaculately clean facilities to avail yourself to just in case the excitement before the flight gets to be a bit much. 😉 Luke was a lively host who gave us the safety run-down prior to our flight and he was an absolute crack.up. He's great value. Our pilot was Thomas and in addition to being the handsome charmer, he's also quite the pilot. He gave both sides of the plane equal opportunity to take great pics and he gave a great tour with fascinating facts about how the reef and the islands, cays and wildlife evolved. He also helped us spot manta rays and turtles. I should also.mention that our flight from Brisbane was delayed and these guys bent over backwards to try sort something out for us despite missing our original booking. I cannot recommend these guys highly enough. We were treated like esteemed guests and the 40 minutes were over in what seemed like 5 minutes. It was a really worthwhile experience. I booked directly with the guys as booking agents and sites take up to 35% commissions and I'd much rather support local businesses by giving them the whole amount. They are very reasonably priced for what you get as it is and profit margins are super slim. I'll upload some pics with the business card so you can book directly and truly support local business. If snorkelling and scuba diving are not an option for you but you really want to experience the reef, this may be the answer. #cairnsscenicflights #greatbarrierreef #cairnstourism #fnq #joyflights #reef
