WOW! What an incredible, stunning way to see the Whitsunday islands and great barrier reef. We did our scenic flight yesterday with Shannon, our pilot. Shannon was amazing! She gave us lots of information about the different islands on our flight, was friendly, and made sure that both the right and left sides of the plane saw everything! Excellent organisation from the company, smiley staff in airport, and over an hour on the plane! This is one of the best things I have ever done, and I'd do it again! I am so glad we booked with GSL... Air conditioned planes, big clear windows, and everyone gets a window seat! Thank you so much Shannon for such a truly spectacular flight.
