GSL Aviation Review

We had taken the 45 minutigen flight over reef. Worthwhile in any case, everyone has window seat. Unforgettable

The magnificence of the Great Barrier Reef is displayed at high altitude. No regrets, looking at Xin Jiao from the air is really amazing, giving you a new perspective.
This is an adventure that must be experienced once in a lifetime. GSL Aviation is very professional, and the start-up is very punctual. Our captain made the second flight, which perfectly blended friendship and professionalism.
In short, this is the perfect day on the island and Xinjiao.

Very punctual, the pilot very good, the view on the coral reef very beautiful

Absolutely amazing experience, normally I only get to see the reef from a boat our the jetski but seeing it from above was mesmerising, the different colours and beautiful islands and sand Kay's with the reef around them. So much better than the view from sea level in a boat. The staff were really friendly and I would definitely recommend them.

This was our second tour over the Great Barrier Reef and GSL Aviation made the trip exceptional! The pilot was friendly, easy to understand and full of goegraphical and ecological knowledge about the reef. I would highly recommend them for an airplane tour of the reef. We will use them again the next time we visit!

Such an amazing experience. Well worth the money you pay! Our pilot was extremely friendly and and amazing flyer, smooth landing! Would high recommend.

Brilliant way to see the Great Barrier Reef. 10/10 would recommend

Had a fantastic flight pilot was very informative, beautiful day for flying

Easily one of the biggest highlights on the whole Australian eastcoast!

Absolutely one of the best experiences in life! Loved every second of the flight, our pilot is very professional and informative. Highly recommended!

Going by air is another great way to see the reef and coast of the far north. GSL Aviation made this a top experience!

Amazing experience!! We did the flight around Green Island followed by the reef (Michaelmas, Arlington etc). Saw dolphins, turtles and a lot more, so awesome!!

This is simply the most valuable Reef Scenic Flight experience that you can find in Cairns, friendly staff, great view over the top of Great Barrier Reef and Green Island, Easy booking and you can get a close view off the airport runway. This is the same reputable company that also operates at the White Heaven, Airlie Beach, highly recommended.

Although we booked the flight via getyourguide, we still want to share our experiences with GSL here. Pickup at the hotel was top notch and on time. At any time of the tour, we were informed about current dates for the tour. Unfortunately, there was bad weather, so a little delayed was a coordinated with us improvised and shortened tour. The customer service is perfect. We always stood with our wishes and interests in the foreground. We were given possible alternatives. For the shortened tour one has immediately set with the tour broker in connection BN and we have received a few hours later a refund on our booking price. Simply great !!!!!!
The flight was beautiful and the pilot has designed the possibilities according to the flight optimal, both sides of the aircraft could make a great view and brilliant pictures.
For me a clear recommendation and A +++

Flew today for my birthday, brilliant and unique experience, our pilot Steve was fantastic and made sure I enjoyed my birthday flight! Fantastic value and a beautiful way to see the enormity of the great barrier reef.

If you want your life experience to be with the best team, just choose GSL Aviation and you won't regreat. Just amazing amazing.

Such an amazing way to see the reef, the views were spectacular! The pilot and all the staff were very friendly and professional, which made the experience even more enjoyable. If you want to see Cairns and the reef from a different angle, this is definitely the way to do it. I highly recommend!

Amazing experience! Friendly staff, great view of Great Barrier Reef and Green Island. Highly recommended.

Did the Port Douglas and reef flight and it was fantastic, great pilot (Jordan) who shared plenty of knowledge. Sometimes when you live here you may take it for granted, but everyone who lives here should do this so they can fully appreciate what an amazing thing the reef actually is.

It was a beautiful scenic flight in Cairns.
ALS aviation picked me at time from my hotel.
I enjoyed the Great Barrier Reef a Lot.

The tour was great. Our pilot gave us a very smooth flight over the gorgeous reefs and provided us with lot of information about the reef life. She is a great pilot .
Also, GSL haa good prices for the tours, but I recommend you to try some combo tours which will save you money and time.

This was the most excellent thing I have ever done the pilots where fantastic.

The barrier corralina is a pity show that the whole landscape has been ruined by the pilot that during the flight of about 40 minutes was put to messaging with the phone with one hand and took so many air pockets ... when I got off the plane I was very bad ... it is risky to drive and send messages with the phone ... I have photos and video of the pilot while he is with the phone ... I hope to be contacted by you because this behavior is unacceptable !!!
I paid the excursion enough money to see the pilot with the phone !!!

Great filght over the barrier reef very enjoyable pilot was very informative

Great experience. Comfortable flight. Unbelievable beauty.

We used these for a trip across the reef.stunning views a trip to be remembered.we were picked up and dropped off from our hotel.our pilot was so friendly and informative.we got to see all the reef in its beauty.could not have asked for better.would use them again.

Really great flight. Our pilot made sure that every side gets to see the reef. She was super friendly and we felt in good hands. Pickup was punctual and our driver was very friendly as well. Highly recommend it.

Loved this experience and would definitely recommend

Nice staff, everything was great. Thanks for the nice flight.

What a jaw dropping experience i highly recommend everyone try.
The pilot and tour guide was super professional, actively pointing and identifying various marine animals for us to marvel at.
Great way to spend forty minutes, they literally flew by.

Well with a flight over the reef as you get a different perspective from above. Ground crew were very obliging and ready to offer any assistance required. The planes are small but everyone gets a window seat.

The only negative was the commentary from the pilot was at tunes hard to hear but we were at the back of the plane.

Wonderful flight experience over Great Barrier Reef. A modest operation which is run very professionally .
Staff polite and knowledgeable.
Recommended.

OOMMGG!!..ONLY way to see the STUNNING Barrier Reef..and with a local. Thank you GSL for a truly WONDERFUL experience..Service from booking to experience was first class. would recommend to anyone who is looking for a unique,personal tour .

Incredible experience with a lovely team. This has to be the absolute highlight of my trip to Carins and I couldn t recommend GSL more. The pilot was knowledgeable and gave great commentary during the flight.

The team was also told that it was my birthday and they went out of their way to make me feel special. Thanks again

We had a great experience!!! It was amazing, we flew over the Witsundays Islands and Great barrier reef, the pilot had great knowledge of the Islands & Reef names, brilliant.

I was amazed at the customer service, pre flight experience and the tour itself. The Great Barrier Reef is truly amazing from the air. The scale is amazing as is the mosiac of colours from the sugar cane farms, through to the croc infested Proserpine River, and out to the reef. A trip worthy of your bucket list.

Another experience ticked off the bucket list. Wow! Three of our family and another two went on the 40 minute flight. We all could see clearly from our window seats and our pilot explained and described all we were seeing below very clearly. We saw turtles and rays as we flew 500m (not quite sure of that) but it was low enough to see clearly and he made sure that he turned so both side seaters saw the same features. The flight was at a special price and so for us it was a bargain. We all highly recommend this company for similar fixed wing flights over the reef. We certainly live in a beautiful country and today made us realise just how outstanding The Great Barrier Reef is. The colours of the cays and the sea were just magical. Thank you for such a great experience.

Hotel pick up and taken to the airport. Met our pilot Kate. Kate was very professional with the safety briefings and what our flight would involve. Kate gave an excellent commentary and a smooth landing. Highly recommend flying with her

The staff is very nice, the environment is very good, the Great Barrier Reef is so beautiful!

Very good tour despite the weather conditions not optimal this day, GSL even refunded partially the tour, did not expect that much actually, super honest from them, strongly recommend them

Outstanding value for money, to see parts of the GBR from this perspective was well worth it. The local reef knowledge of the pilot during the commentary was a credit to the Far North QLD community. Thank you, we will be passing the word around.

Did the Cairns GBR and Port Douglas flight - amazing and great value for money!! Unbelievable views. I wouldn't recommend upgrading to also the PD flight because the impressive views were the ones over the GBR. But definitely recommend

Amazing fantastic, and all you would expect of being in a low flying small plane over such a spectacular reef and group of islands, well done to the crew on the day.

Absolutely worth it! The view over the Great Barrier Reef is astonishing - real National Geography experience!

Great experience and very friendly staff. Well experienced pilot. The scenic flight was worth every single penny spent. Will come back again.

Had the most extraordinary day with GSL aviation! The experience was truly incredible. You get flown over the best and most scenic parts of the reef and the pilot , Steve , was incredible. He was so knowledgeable about all of the different islands and cays. He made the experience with his commentary and his eagle eyes to spot mantas , turtles , and dolphins! It is a must if you re visiting Queensland! One of the best and most memorable days. I really can t recommend it enough! 5 star customer service and quality!

An experience !!!!
Top crew, super plane, great flight ...
did the scenic tour for over an hour over the islands and the reef ... just great ...

Me and my partner done the hr long scenic flight over the reef today was the best views and the pilot was very friendly and she is a very skilled operator that explains what your seeing she turns the plane around so both sides of plane gets a look take my hat off to her highly worth doing if in carins
