    Amazing tour over the great barrier reef. We were the only two on the helicopter, which was extremely special. We were able to see many parts of the reef. The weather was great. Highly recommend.

    Niels was a brilliant pilot. We visited in rainy season and wasn’t sure if we would even get off the ground. Niels got us in the air and over the reef and navigated around the showers. We had an amazing time. Would definitely recommend
