    Wonderful day. Dave, our pilot was so knowledgable and friendly. We saw a pod of dolphins which was amazing. The trip across to Green Island following our flight was smooth and effortless. Good was good and plenty of it. We saw small sharks, titles and of course heaps of beautiful fish. All in all it was a perfect day.

    Perfectly shared tour - with a 40-minute flight, plenty of time to admire the Great Barrier Reef. The pilot made it possible for all 6 passengers to get the best view. The second part went just as smoothly. The crew of the ferry was super nice - Green Island was very spacious, so there was enough space for everyone. Lots of fish and even a sea turtle sighted while snorkeling. So all in all a perfect day.

    Flight with GSL aviation pilot Dave, was amazing!! Highlight of our trip! Cruise to green island was good overall. It was hard to hear the safety demonstrations and island info on the boat going there. There was confusion about what I had picked out of snorkelling and glass bottom boat. Was told I’d have to pay extra to do both yet the party of 3 men that were served after me got to do both for free with no extra charge. Green island was beautiful, one lot of snorkel gear was broken though. Buffet lunch was fine, could have had more of a variety of Australian cuisine though rather than Indian/Asian.
