What to expect

You'll board a scenic aircraft and spend sixty minutes at altitude over the reef. The flight covers two distinct reef zones, giving you a broad picture of how the ecosystem spreads across the seabed. Marine life sightings—particularly rays, turtles and reef sharks—are routine on these routes. Bring binoculars or a camera with decent zoom if you want detail. The vantage point reveals textures and patterns invisible from a boat.
