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.

We did the Ultimate Experience in January and it was superb!! Barbara was lovely and super flexible, working hard to give us the best experience. She got us in the air on a day with good visibility, given the unusual weather at the time. Rodney the pilot is a really friendly guy who clearly loves his job and was happy to proudly tell us about the sights as we flew all the way around the bay, seeing stunning beaches and places of interest. The sea plane is ideal as it flies low at only 500ft and at just the right speed to enjoy to the fullest. Highly recommended.

Wow what a great sightseeing Option. Brett and his wife run this business and we were so impressed from the moment we enquired about our flight path options to the moment we stepped off the plane. We were impressed with their friendliness and compliance but most of all how comfortable we felt in Bretts well experienced and knowledgeable hands. The one hour flight of the bay was spectacular and we would highly recommend it to everyone.

A birthday gift to remember. Started seamlessly with making a booking. Husband & wife team Brett & Barbara were so helpful & genuinely pleased to accommodate our request for a date & time. Brett, the pilot, is a delightful person who made us welcome & comfortable. The bird’s eye view of our beautiful bay & city is an experience not to be missed. We highly recommend Melbourne Seaplanes.

We wanted to see our home town from the air, and chose the Melbourne City Skyline flight. From the booking, to the safety briefing, to the flight, with a very informative and friendly commentary from Brett, this was a wonderful experience, and very good value.
We felt that we were in very experienced and safe hands. Our family of four had a flight we will never forget.
I would highly recommend this to anyone living in or visiting Melbourne, and we will be back for the Historic Port Phillip flight in the future!
Thanks Brett and Barbara for a wonderful flight,

An amazing experience in a Cessna182 seaplane. The proprietors were friendly and accommodating. Commentary through the flight was good. The pilot was excellent and knew his stuff. Ground staff (Barbara) were very good when it came to booking the trip. Very kind to our grandson, who sat in a miniature seaplane and then the real thing, before his grandad set off. All in all a fab time. Highly recommended.

What a fabulous experience. A short flight around Hobson's Bay with stunning views of Melbourne and surrounds. We live in the area so it was wonderful to see our home in a beautiful new way. Thanks to Rod for his amusing commentary & to Barb in her little box offering friendly local advice.

A great trip around the shore line of Port Phillip. At 500 feet the view was stunning and to see Melbourne and environs from the air, low and slow was stunning. Thank you Brett and Barb. A unique experience.

We had a great scenic flight over the Bay with Brett at the controls. He was a true professional and we felt safe in his hands. A very experienced pilot. He was a great guide, very informative during the flight. We booked on our arrival at Williamstown with his wife Barb, who was great chat and keen to accommodate our wishes. Overall a great opportunity to fly in a seaplane at a reasonable price !! Would recommend !! Every success in the future folks!!
