INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT US

ENJOY THE ONLY WILGA WARBIRD ON FLOATS IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE

Wilga 80 Seaplane: Designed in the 1950's as an observation aircraft, this plane is perfect for the job. It is stable, slow and boasts better-than-helicopter views! Plus, it is certified to fly with the Doors Off!
Built in Poland, this is one of the few Wilga 80's on floats in the world, and is the only one in Australia. Not only that, this is your only opportunity for a seaplane adventure in Queensland between Gladstone and the Gold Coast!

 

A Total Adventure: The fabulous thing about a Seaplane is that it opens up a world where no-one else can go. There is no need for airports or runways, just water. No other type of aircraft lets you look down, pick a likely spot on the river and touch down as gracefully as a seabird. (Well, ‘graceful’ like a black swan, not like a pelican!)

We Take 3: We fly with a minimum of two passengers, or up to three, with the maximum combined passenger weight limited to 200kg.

 

Never Too Old: Our oldest passenger to date was 99 years of age with the youngest being two years old. As long as you are 15kg or more, are relatively mobile and can operate our lifevest, you can fly with us.

Passengers will get their feet wet, and need to climb a couple of rungs to get into the aircraft. Children fly at Adult prices.

There is no disability access to the river, but ask us how we can assist.

 

Our Pilots: With thousands of hours up their sleeves, you can rest assured you are in safe hands. These guys have a wealth of experience and love what they do.
