The Reef Spectucular does exactly what the title says - provides you with one hour of total reef paradise! We leave no stone (or coral) unturned as we explore two vast clusters of reefs. Rays, turtles and sharks are commonly seen on these flights.
There is no better way to experience the vastness and beauty of the Great Barrier Reef.
