I’ll never forget flying over the Great Barrier Reef. The flight gave me a totally different perspective, and the colors of the coral and ocean were stunning. Arranging the flight was straightforward, and it’s left me wondering why I didn’t try something like this sooner.

The whole booking process was super easy, and the ride itself was smooth and informative. If you’re into unique experiences, this one’s definitely worth it. I’m so glad I did it.

This scenic flight was absolutely unreal. Seeing the reef from above gave me chills—it’s just so massive and beautiful. The pilot made sure everyone got amazing views, and the whole thing felt really smooth and professional. I booked through Backpacker Deals, and it was quick and easy to sort out. If you’re in Cairns, this is a total bucket-list activity—it’s worth every cent.
