Airlie Beach
This list compares the flights that put Heart Reef and Whitehaven under your wing: seaplane, helicopter or small plane. Heart Reef is protected, so seeing it from the air is your only real option. Most circuits last about an hour and cover what a boat needs two days to reach.
Immerse yourself in the beauty of Airlie Beach and the Great Barrier Reef from a unique aerial perspective, where every moment promises a new revelation.
