54321 Beyond all expectations. Staff and pilot in command very professional and service minded. The Beaver is a fantastic classic airplane that gives it a truly historic gloss.

54321 Sea plane flight to Whitehaven Beach was superb. Would definitely do it again. A bit pricey but worth every cent.
Johannes — 3 December, 2017

54321 We took the panorama flight yesterday. We’re glad we chose this option as we only had a day and although we aren’t keen snorkelers we are glad we gave it a go and saw Whitehaven which was beautiful. This was my wife’s favourite, but the flight itself was mine.
