highly recommended
Down Under Helicopters is highly recommended and excellent way to see the Great Barrier Reef. The helicopter pilot was thorough,professional and extremely saftey conscious. He gave us a running commentary as we flew towards the reef, pointing out and naming the various islands and reefs. Once we arrived at the reef he circled around to point out and give us a great view of the fish and turtles, before landing on a pontoon in the water next to the tour boat.
If u want to see the reef in all its beauty, then Down Under Helicopters is definitely the way to do it.
