The pilot was excellent and tried, under difficult conditions to get us to the reef. Sadly this was not possible and we had to abort that part of the trip

It was a great experience although we didn't get to go over the Great Barrier Reef due to the weather so came back. I received a full refund, even though I wasn't expecting it as we had done part of the trip. They were awesome people
