The Experience: We'll start the adventure by getting sand between your toes on the shore of the Maroochy River, where you will meet the crew and get your feet wet. After a short briefing, we'll get you settled in the aircraft. Every seat is a window seat and the aircraft was actually designed as an observation plane, so be prepared for amazing views.
We taxi and take off from the waterway, and on this particular flight which we call the River Dash, we take you to the river mouth for a brilliant perspective over the beaches before a smooth turn and return to base.
We take photos for you and send them to you digitally to share!
Whether you are a flying enthusiast or someone who normally endures flying as a way to get from here to there, you'll come back with a huge smile, we guarantee it. Seriously!! This is truly a short, but iconic and powerful experience.
Will we fly if the weather is bad?
If it is raining, if turbulence is forecast, it is too windy, or if the river is in flood, we will not fly. If you are booked in, we will advise you on the day, by text. We ask you to reschedule the flight to another time. You are assured that it will be a great day for flying.
PREPARING TO FLY: The Drill :
You will receive a text on the morning of the flight (before 8am) to confirm weather conditions. Look for that text. It also includes a maplink.
Please arrive 15 minute before your scheduled flight. (This does not apply to the 9am flight - you can arrive at 9am.)
You will get your feet wet! Wear shoes you can kick off. Shorts and thongs are the go!
If you have purchased the 'Doors Off' option, bring a jacket in cooler weather, and something to tie your hair back if you have long hair - it is WINDY with the doors off.
Photos. You can take as much technology as you want. Cameras, go-pros, video recorders etc etc. Hang on to them. (The pilot will tell you he has dunked a few of his mobile phones over time.) Also note, we will take photos for you (free), and supply them to you by email/text.
AT THE RIVER BANK: The Drill :
Please complete and sign our COVID Checklist at your flight.
You will receive a flight briefing - we tell you all the things you need to know about the aircraft and safety.
We provide you with a life vest and help you board the aircraft, demonstrate seat belts, exits, and headsets.
Boarding the aircraft is easy. If you can climb a ladder rung, you can do this. Ask us about extra assistance.
Your voucher(s) and booking information will be included in the confirmation email you will receive shortly after purchasing the experience on Amazed.com.
If the booking needs to be first confirmed by the host, you will receive your Amazed voucher within 24-48 hours of purchase.

6 months agoNow this was different and it was absolutely amazing. We had a blast - took a seaplane flight with Paradise SeaPlanes today and checked out the Sunshine Coast from a different angle. Great beaches, saw whales, townships from above and the hinterland. Just WOW Shawn was an awesome pilot, tour guide and companion on board!

a month agoBig shout out to Sandy and pilot Shawn for organising the fly and being very kind to us. It had been rescheduled a couple of times but they are still very patient. The plane was amazing, we took lots of photos and enjoyed the ride. Me and my partner were impressive about the experience.

a year agoMy wife and I flew to Noosa .This was a fabulous flight .We were super relaxed and glued to the extraordinary views. The weather was glorious and visibility was all the way to the ranges .The ocean was calm and the water was clear as bell. This is a mighty good thing to do on the Sunshine Coast and we are very lucky to have such an exciting experience . I’ll be back for more .Next flight I reckon Rainbow beach and the colour sands .10/10.
