Overview

Whitehaven Beach is a sliver of white-sand and clear water heaven, but it usually takes a few hours to reach the secluded spot by boat. With this tour, quickly reach the beach by helicopter from Whitsunday Airport. Get aerial views of the Whitsunday Islands on a roughly 15-minute flight, spend some free time on the beach, and head back to the coast. You’ll have plenty of time left in your day for another adventure.
  • Ideal for travelers who want to see Whitehaven Beach but don’t have time for a boat ride
  • Be back in Airlie Beach after a few hours
  • See the beautiful Whitsunday Islands from above
  • Transfers to and from Airlie Beach are available at no additional cost

Absolutely amazing, such a beautiful part of the world. Our pilot Dave was very friendly and accommodating, so too were the transfer drivers. The ride itself is so smooth, wasn’t expecting that! And the views are simply beautiful. Definitely worth every penny getting the helicopter, views just can’t be beaten.

Great opportunity to see the beauty of the Great Barrier Reef and the Whitsunday Islands from the sky. Unfortunately the sound aboard the noisy airplane was very bad so the commentary from the pilot was very hard to understand. There are no headphones provided, which was very unfortunate!

TOUR OPERATOR COMMENT: Thank you for your feedback. So sorry about the noise on your heli tour. All passengers are given headsets for the purpose of noise reduction and commentary - we will make sure to follow up with this internally and investigate why you weren't given a headset. We'd love to have you on board again so that we can provide a better service for your tour next time. Thank you again for flying with GSL Aviation.
