A must do when in Port Douglas! Brook meet us and explained the details prior to getting into the helicopter so well for us to feel very safe and said it would be a fantastic experience. Luke was our pilot, he was very knowledgeable of the Port Douglas area and very friendly with good banter! We were lucky to see a few green turtles and manta rays as well as the Port Douglas version of the famous Heart Reef! To see the reef from this view really topped our honeymoon! It definitely was a fantastic experience, we highly recommend.
