Whitsunday ~ 1st Scenic Flight in P&A Lifetime


There are campsites at Whitehaven beach, and people had to get a boat transfer ($150 pp) to get there. It is one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. But it is too deary to get there, and not able to see the Hill Inlet. (because you cannot hike from Whitehaven beach to Hill Inlet)

So we decided to take a 60min 'reef and island' scenic flight from GSL Aviation to view it all! The Outer reef and the Hill Inlet and it was AMAZING! Cost $189 pp, but we reckon it's worth it. 



Our handsome pilot for the noon flight. We're in a 8 seater aircraft.

Whitsunday Airport

OFF we go! 


Jaw dropping all the way! 

Hamilton Island, one of the 74 islands of Whitsundays with luxury resort accommodation.



The MOST absolutely AMAZING beautiful OMG Hill Inlet @ Whitsunday Island

Look at that!!!


The perfect white strip of beach, Whitehaven Beach


Passing all the islands, we came to the outer reef!

The Great Barrier Reef streches up to 3000km long and it's the only nature wonder visible from the outer space. Stretches from Bundaberg up past the tip of Cape York. We are at the southern part of it. The reef looks amazing from the sky! 

Our airplane's shadow on the reef!!


The most amazing view P&A have ever seen above the SKY! Really speechless.. Let the pictures speak for themselves...
 


Here is the Heart Reef. A perfect shape of Heart :)



Hardy Reef


It is a place that we will come back for sure, not for a scenic flight again, but to join a sailing tour and walk the Whitehaven beach! And also dive in one of GBR's top site, Hardy Reef.


Bowen, also within the Whitsundays Region

Our hearts are still pumping fast (still very high) after the one hour flight but we have to continue our journey to Bowen still =P

The extensive fields of sugar cane plantation from Airlie to Bowen.
