Coral Bay scenic flight

From the ground the reef is dazzling but hard to grasp; from the air it snaps into focus — the white surf line of the outer reef, the lagoon shading from aqua to deep blue, and the dark shapes of mantas, whale sharks, whales, dugongs and turtles below. Fixed-wing flights leave straight from the Coral Bay airstrip.

Options run from a short “show me the bay” loop to longer flights down the coast. In whale-shark or humpback season the big animals are often easiest to appreciate from above.
