Air Whitsunday: Panorama Tour

For a complete experience fly in our seaplanes over the Whitsunday Islands to the Great Barrier Reef. See the world famous Heart Reef and land inside the reef for a once in a lifetime experience of snorkelling and coral viewing followed by a relaxing one hour stop on Whitehaven Beach.

There is a good reason why this tour is our most popular! Witness the finest the region has to offer in one half day tour and enjoy the incredible land and seascapes of the World Heritage listed Whitsunday Islands National Park and the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park from both the air and on the surface. This tour includes snorkelling and coral viewing from our private semi-submersible at our very own reef location inside the calm waters of Hardy Lagoon. The vessel has an underwater viewing chamber, sun and shade deck areas, along with easy access into the water.

This adventure at the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park is followed with a relaxing one hour visit to Whitehaven Beach. Frequently voted as one of the world’s top ten beaches, this striking stretch of silica beach on Whitsunday Island National Park is the perfect location to enjoy a picnic lunch, explore and recline in the crystal clear waters with turtles and rays.
