Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Did the cruise and fly. Included a boat trip to the reef where we had morning tea, 2 hours of snorkelling and a buffet lunch which included fresh prawns. Reef pontoon was great to relax and had options for non swimmers too. Then caught our helicopter and had an amazing 30min flight back to Hamo. The view of the reef is unforgettable and our pilot was knowledgeable and safe.
Landed in Hamo with time for more beers and some icecream before catching the ferry back to Airlie. A whole day trip with very reasonable prices compared to other helo companies

Looong awaited Helichopter ride over the Whitsundays
We did the ‘60 Min Reef & Whitehaven’ tour
Trust me - It does not get any better than this! Absolutely breathtaking !
The Whitsundays certainly put on a show for us today. Three whales including a lil baby whale. The beautiful coral reef and the very romantic heart island . And the breathtaking Whitehaven beach
Pure Indulgence
Highly recommend
Some feedback though - Would have given them 5 stars if we could have gone in a group of four versus 2

Loved every minute of this experience. We did the trip out to Whitehaven. This was a bucket list trip to celebrate a big milestone anniversary and it did not disappoint!!!! even though it was overcast it was as so incredible.
The only thing I wish I had done differently is not booked a longer/bigger trip. So if you’re contemplating options, It is definitely worth every $$$$ just priceless. I could have been up there all day if I could.
The pilot was so lovely. We felt so safe up in the air and I’m a nervous flyer.
I also loved that he set us up on the beach to relax and do our own thing and left us to ourselves for some alone time, and it didn’t feel weird or third wheel.

Spectacular helicopter trip to Whitehaven emanating out of Hayman Island. Our pilot (David??) was also our guide, so well informed about the area and a pleasure to talk too.
We landed dead centre of the beach with nobody around and our pot set up our picnic and then disappeared into the bushes to give us total privacy. Crystal. clear water and white sandy beach, together with a picnic and bottle of sparkly what more can you ask for. A truly memorable experience and was over way too soon!!!

We had an awesome afternoon being flown by Jimmy H (with the moustache) over the Whitsunday Islands. We had exclusive use of Whitehaven beach (yep not a single sole) for a swim and picnic. Flew over the memorable heart reef and spent a couple of hours at reef world and almost got a free nights accommodation on the reef due to bad weather. Jimmy was very friendly, personable, had good local knowledge and above all is an exceptional pilot. We had an amazing experience and could not recommend this tour highly enough!

We were so disappointed with their sales service. Admittedly we rang just after 5 so the lady staff member told me to book online. So we did book and paid by credit card. We heard nothing back so I rang at 8.30 to find out what the go was. I was told they were going through their emails and would get back to me however this was not suitable to me as I needed to know if we were going or not. After being on hold for sometime the reply was “no sorry we have no availability. From my experience I would look elsewhere.

Couldn't imagine a better way to spend 2hours, both flying over the barrier reef and visiting Whitehaven beach,
Our pilot, Tom, was great, immediately putting us at ease and passionate and full of local knowledge. When we spotted some wildlife (turtles, rays, sharks) in the sea he'd take time to take a look whilst pressing on to our first location, the Heart Reef - which actually is shaped that way - and like all of the Great Barrier Reef is truly stunning, for which the aerial perspective is definitely recommended.
The trip then on to and landing on Whitehaven Beach where we had time to wander around on the pristine fine white sand for ~1hr, including chilling on the set-up rug with parasol and complimentary sparkling white wine.
It was a perfect experience to propose to my partner.
Loved it and thanks Helireef!

Helireef was an amazing experience. After a 15 min helicopter journey from Airlie, over the whitsunday islands, and to Whitehaven. The pilot sets out a beach mat, umbrella and bottle of champagne to enjoy on the beach for an hour and 15. Before then flying back and once again getting the stunning views.

A must do! Such a fabulous way to see some of the best that the world has to offer. Whitsunday Islands and Great Barrier Reef, including Heart Reef. Can’t more highly recommend. Massive shout out to our pilot James. Funny, entertaining and a wealth of information about the reef and Whitsunday Islands. Definitely a bucket list item!
