The jewel of The Whitsundays. .
If you can afford either a helicopter or seaplane flight over the #whitsundayislands you won’t regret the expense. Add a landing and some fun time on #whitehavenbeach and you have an amazing experience with memories that will last a lifetime. 
Flights depart from both #airliebeach or #hamiltonisland .
