Awesome experience! Treated my husband to a scenic flight for our first wedding anniversary. It was fantastic!! I had thought we had booked a harbour flight, so we were pleasantly surprised to find ourselves zipping down the south coast. The stop at the seal colony really was an added bonus! Thank you soooo much to the team for a wonderful trip, it made for a memorable day. Next time we’ll be back to do a picnic or a lunch and go all out!
