It was great! Highly recommended if you are visiting Cairns. A great experience.
It was super good! The crew was super friendly. The pilot was professional. During the travel, he was telling us the story and details of the Great Barrier Reef. The plane was sized for 7 people, and all with windows. The views were incredible! My only complaint would be that the flight time is not 40 min. It is less than that. The total experience from you start walking to the place until you get back to the reception was about 40 min.
