    Wonderful experience! Staff was very friendly and professional, especially the driver who picked us up at the cruise terminal. We didn’t want to spend a whole day on the reef so this flight gave us a great overall, awesome view. The weather was perfect. Everyone in our party of four enjoyed the trip.

    This company is a rip off. They do not respond quickly to issues that travelers encounter with their tours and try to keep your money. I recommend looking elsewhere for a great tour.

    We were picked up at a central Cairns location and made our way to the airport. Brad was courteous and efficient. The flight took off on time and we were provided great commentary of the reefs. The views are great and the time of 40 mins adequate.
    100% recommend. Extra credit to Brad for being a super nice human.

    Tour operator cancelled on me because they have a 125 kg limit. They asked me my weight. I responded in pounds not kg. They promptly cancelled my trip and still charged my credit card. I wrote to them demanding refund. So far no refund.

    There were no memorable moments from the trip as the company cancelled the day before citing “unforeseen maintenance”. By the time I received the email is was too late to arrange an alternate activity. Still waiting on a refund as well. Viator was still selling the activity too so communication between the company and Viator is not great.

    We were picked up from our hotel and taken the 15 min drive to the airport. After having a thorough safety video and briefing we boarded the plane (ladies, a short dress wasn’t ideal for climbing up the step…) it took about 6 mins to reach Green Island and then the magic starts to happen. From there we circled several other reefs and came down to approx 500ft, the lowest they can fly, to try and see any sharks, turtles or rays. The pilot gave us some great commentary and it was also interesting to hear the comms from air control. Sadly all too soon it’s time to return. I can’t recommend this trip highly enough. The view was spectacular, just try to remember to enjoy the moment and not get too caught up with taking photos.

    Brad (the pilot) was fantastic! Unfortunately we had bad weather the day I booked. But because there was only one flight that particular day, we were able to push the flight back in order to be able to go when the weather was at its best. Brad made sure to give us the best experience possible despite the weather conditions. He was very nice and professional. By the time we were able to go, the weather had mostly cleared up and it was beautiful out over the reef. Highly recommend! GSL is a company that communicated very well with me while there were several changes that had to be made that day.
