I am afraid to fly. What should I do?
When can I fly?
Our flights are not scheduled like the airlines. Instead you just select whichever flight you want and pick an available time slot. We have time slots available on the hour, 5 days a week.
We fly from Thursday to Monday, 9am to 3pm (10am-4pm on Sundays).
Can I buy a flight for one? or four?
Yes! You can book our River Dash and VIP Pilot Experience (coming soon) for one person.
All of our other flights require a minimum of two passengers (or maximum of 3 passengers) to book a time slot on-line. However, just call us and we will help you sort something out. - 0437 719 088.
Yes! You can buy any Gift Voucher for one person at any time.
However, when they book, they will need to organise a buddy (it is a lot of fun if you go too!) or call to go on our standby list - 0437 719 088.
When you have four...
What we do in this case is do two flights x two passengers. It does not cost any more and we time the flights immediately after each other. Just call us and we will arrange the schedule to fit your needs.
How far in advance do I need to book?
Our booking calendar is open about a year ahead. However, you can usually rock up the same day and go for a flight!
We do recommend calling first so you won't be disappointed. Our weekends book up about 3-7 days ahead.
Special Occasions - If you want to do a special flight that involves other suppliers, like our Rolls Royce Luxury Transfer from Noosa* or our Romantic Picnic on Chambers Island, OR if you want a special day and time, it is best to give us as much notice as possible. (At least 7 days).
*Select any flight and add the transfer or picnic when you get to the 'Extras' in the shopping cart.
How do I buy the 'Doors Off' option?
Select any flight and there will be an option to add 'Doors Off' / Rolls Royce Luxury Transfer / Romantic Picnic / Photobooks etc., when you get to the 'Extras' in the shopping cart.
What if I don't want to ask my friend how much they weigh?
We totally understand! We need passenger weights for each flight. A lot of people buying gift certificates do not know the weight of the person they are buying for. It is ok to guess in that situation. However, when you fly, we ask passenger weights as each flight has a maximum passenger load. The pilot is very good at assessing or subtly asking this question. It is a practical question and nothing to be ashamed of.
Do you have discounts for children?
Unfortunately, a child occupies a seat exactly the same as an adult does and, because the aircraft costs the same to operate whether the person sitting in the seat is an adult or a child, we are unable to offer discounts for children.
Do you have senior discounts?
No. Unfortunately, even though we would love to offer discounts, the aircraft costs the same to operate regardless of whomever is sitting in the seat. We have priced our flights as economically as possible to make it available for as many people as possible.
What happens on the day?

Will we fly if the weather is bad?
Short answer: No.
If it is raining, if turbulence is forecast, it is too windy, or if the river is in flood, we will not fly. If you are booked in, we will advise you on the day, by text. We ask you to reschedule the flight to another time. You are assured that it will be a great day for flying.
I am afraid to fly. What should I do?
We have had many passengers who have been afraid to fly or who have a fear of heights.
Every single one of them has come back with a big grin from ear to ear.
If you are afraid to fly, but don't want to miss out on the experience, we suggest these steps:
We understand what a big step this is for you and will be cheering for you all the way.
