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 wanted to give our friend an experience for Christmas and she loved it. We took off from Couran Cove and flew to Southport and back. It was amazing to see the ocean, islands and land from the air rather than our boat.
Nathan was friendly and professional. Worth the money!

My beautiful (now Fiance) and my daughters planned the most wonderful engagement proposal with the help of Cloud Nine. We were on holiday from NZ. The whole thing could not have been any better organised - from the food, location, the flight - getting to fly the plane. It was just magic. Cloud Nine thought of everything, from bug spray to beers and wine. You will love the humour of the owner operator such a fun guy. And one last thing - the food was absolutely amazing. Thank you for a proposal I will never forget and happily skite about forever.

A superb 30 minute flight over the Gold Coast, highlighting local sights topped off by spotting a humpback from above!
Highly recommended.

Our first seaplane experience with Pete (pilot) was a blast! He’s funny, and offered a few thrilling turns during the flight!
Memorable and the kids loved it!

Second time flying with Pete, amazing flight. First a scenic flight then a drop off at Couran Cove allowing us to explore, then walked to Maclarens Landing where he picked us up a few hours later. Always fun and professional!
Can’t recommend Cloud 9 Seaplanes enough.
A must do!!!

Tick tick tick 5 Star review isn’t enough , 10 out of 10 isn’t enough .
This trip is a highlight of my life I will never forget , From the minute Pete our Pilot picked us up it was just heartstopping ! breathtaking ! and amusing , especially when Pete told me I was in control of the plane lol , that was awesome , we touched down at Stradbroke Island and spent a few hours exploring, lazing on loungers in the sun and taking a train ride to the other side of the Island to the beach and back , a nice bite to eat and Pete picked us up again for another breath taking view .
I couldn’t have asked for a better way to have spent my 50th Birthday than up in the Float Plane ! Magnificent

We had an amazing trip on the Cloud 9 seaplane. Pete the pilot was fantastic and made everything very easy and enjoyable. All the timing were perfect and it was very flexible as to where you wanted dropped off and picked up, which was brilliant.
Would highly recommend it .

Highly recommended. If I am ever back on the Gold Coast I will do it again. Great Flying experience in a seaplane and a great pilot who knows how to entertain.

I booked the deluxe romantic seaplane flight and island picnic as a surprise proposal for my girlfriend. The whole experience was amazing and although the weather was a bit rainy, the whole day was incredible and Pete the Pilot was fantastic and joined in helping make the day a surprise for us!! The platter on the island was excellent and there's nothing I can fault about the day. The coastal flight was beautiful and Pete even gave us the option of flying the plane for a bit which was an experience in itself!!

What would be the best place to park the car before walking to the seaplane ride?
