Whitehaven Beach By Airplane

OVERVIEW

Fly over Whitehaven Beach and other idyllic locales in a fixed-wing aircraft with large windows that allow for optimal views of the gorgeous scenery below. The plane holds a maximum of seven guests, which will make the experience all the more private and pleasurable. The flight will be wonderfully picturesque as you will fly over the Great Barrier Reef and many of the islands in the Whitsunday archipelago. When you spot Whitehaven Beach on the largest of the Whitsundays, you will instantly understand why it is considered one of the world’s most beautiful beaches. The sand there is almost entirely made of silica, giving it a snow-white color. The setting is so dramatic that numerous films, including “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales “Were shot there. You will also fly over photogenic Hill Inlet and Heart Reef, whose distinct heart shape is best seen from the air.
