Had a very nice flying experience with Bird Eye. Duncan and Dan are extremely friendly and energetic. The landscape was stunning and we looked into the marine animals in another perspective. The flight was so amazing and I just could not explain it in words. Highly recommend!

I was lucky enough to see humpback whales, tiger shark, manta rays, turtles and dugongs!
The team were super accommodating and friendly too and it made my last day In Oz, a very special one.
If you are thinking about doing this trip - just go for it! You will not be disappointed.

I wish I had never booked this.
My pilot was Gav. He made a sexual “joke” about me having man between my legs (that is where the pilot sits). He put his hand on my knee. He reached back to squeeze and rub my leg during the flight. It was particularly disturbing that when this happened I was alone with him, 1000m in the air with no where to escape to. Obviously, I felt extremely uncomfortable and the experience was ruined.
We decided to report Gav’s behaviour to Birds Eye View. They apologised and claimed that they took these matters very seriously and would address it. However, when we asked for a refund they refused to provide one.
The fact they did not think a refund was warranted after what happened demonstrates to me that they do not actually take sexual harassment seriously at all. This was incredibly dismissive and upsetting.
This experience, and the response I received after reporting it, tainted my entire holiday and continues to upset and disturb me. Stay away from this company.

Special thanks for Duncan for the extraordinary photos, very artistic and clear image on the marine animals and landscapes. He also took great care of my motion sickness in the middle of the flight, which made it went away in just under a minute.
And another big shoutout to Gavin who provided clear guidance and explained the whole process in details, showed us Ningaloo from above with passion and experience. His enthusiasm and love to the Ningaloo and flying is absolutely one of a kind!

Booked spontaneously after doing the Ocean Eco Adventure whale shark swim (as Birds Eye View do the whale shark spotting for them) and it looked like a lot of fun and it was. Overall a fantastic experience, all ran smoothly, felt very safe, pilot was great. Saw rays, sharks, dolphins, dugongs and whale sharks from the air. The only thing I would mention is that you aren't allowed phones on the flight due to safety concerns but I was allowed to take my gopro with a lanyard to secure so would just suggest to think about that in advance if you want to take pictures/videos. They also have a gopro attached to the wing which takes regular pictures (more of you on the flight + scenery in the background) and you get the memory card from that which is great.

We absolutely loved the scenic flight. We did the 60-minute tour and would definitely book the 90-minute flight next time because it was simply spectacular. We saw so many animals and the views were absolutely breathtaking.
The whole team was amazing — incredibly friendly, welcoming, and professional. The pilots were fantastic, and you could immediately tell how much they love what they do, which made the experience even more special.
Without a doubt, this was one of the best things we have ever done in Australia. We will definitely come back — we absolutely loved it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My husband and I booked the 60-minute Birds Eye View Ningaloo flight, and wow - what an incredible experience! I was a little apprehensive before taking off, but the pilots, Gav and Dan, gave us a thorough briefing beforehand, answered all our questions, and quickly put our minds at ease.
I can honestly say it was one of the best experiences ever. We saw an amazing amount of marine life, including turtles, manta rays, dugongs, tiger sharks, blacktip sharks, and we were even lucky enough to spot a humpback whale!
I would absolutely return to Exmouth just to do the microlight flight again. Thank you for such an unforgettable experience!
Would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Exmouth!

Best experience. 15/10 couldn’t beat it.
Microlite gives you a perspective and view of the reef you can’t appreciate from the shore/boat or snorkelling.
Amazing team, such an easy process to get set for the flight.
Saw humpback whales, manta rays, turtles, tiger shark and stunning views.
Gav was an exceptional pilot.

I’d like to extend my heartfelt thanks to our pilot, Duncan, for his calm professionalism and sure-handed flying — I felt completely safe and comfortable throughout the entire flight. The breathtaking Microlight flight of Exmouth was absolutely the highlight of my trip. Seeing the coastline and reef from above was truly unforgettable. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Exmouth!

From the very first moment, pilots Gav & Dan and the amazing crew at Birds Eye View made us feel incredibly welcome and completely at ease.
The flight itself? Absolutely mind-blowing! It’s probably the closest you’ll ever get to truly feeling like a bird – gliding high above the reef, soaking in every breathtaking moment.
And the best part: thanks to our skilled and experienced pilots, we got to spot dolphins, humpback whales, stingrays, turtles and even dugongs! How epic is that?
We can 100% recommend Birds Eye View – professional, super friendly, and dedicated to making your ultralight flight an unforgettable memory.
Thank you so much, Gav, Dan & crew!

We had an amazing experience with Birds Eye View Ningaloo! We are a family of 3 and usually there are only 2 planes, but luckily 3 spots were open at the same time so we could all fly together. Some of the pilots even had cameras and they got great extra pics of us all! They were amazing and friendly guides, made the whole experience very fun and comfortable. Recommend doing the 60 min flight, it felt like a good amount of time and had amazing sights of the reef! But if you really enjoy flying and want to see more views 90 would be good. Additionally, after our flight, we found out we booked our hotel for the wrong night and couldn’t find availability during peak season, but one of the guides went out of his way to find somewhere for us to stay. Very grateful to them, and highly recommend booking any of their flight experiences!

Yesterday my partner and I went flying, and honestly, I’m the kind of person who gets terrified of heights and flying. But as soon as we arrived, both pilots made us feel completely at ease. They kept joking around, which really helped me relax.
If you’re like me and you’re reading this review, take it as the sign you need to DO IT!!! The experience is absolutely incredible — such a smooth flight, amazing wildlife seen from a whole new perspective, and above all, a super safe and fun adventure.
100% recommended!

“Is it a boat? Is it a plane? Nope… it’s the MALBATROSS, and it is insane!” 100/10⭐️
Today, I had the absolute privilege of flying on The Malbatross with Gav — and WOW, what an experience.!! Topped off with an epic sunset and a spectacular show below 🐋. A huge THANK YOU to Gav for such an incredible and unforgettable flight.!!
This was my third time flying with the team at Bird’s Eye View. The first time was AMAZING, the second somehow topped it, and today… well, today absolutely smashed all expectations.!!💯
From the sky, I’ve spotted whale sharks, humpbacks breaching, manta rays, turtles, dugongs, dolphins, and even sharks cruising through the turquoise waters. It’s like a live nature documentary playing out beneath you.
But today was all about The MALBATROSS! This beauty is like the Terminator of microlights — shiny, powerful, and the ultimate flying machine which also has the ability to land on water, meaning we were able to skim down low over the ocean 🙌🏼. Absolutely mind-blowing.!!
Gav, Duncan, and Pottie are always an absolute joy to deal with — professional, friendly, and always going above and beyond to make every flight special.!! I had three friends fly with them this week, and they haven’t stopped talking about it for days.!!👌🏼
If you’re ever in Exmouth, do yourself a favour and put a microlight flight on your bucket list.. The Ningaloo Reef from above is truly something that has to be seen to be believed 🐋💙

We had perfect weather and were lucky enough to see many dugongs in the gulf, and humpacks, whale sharks and numerous turtles on the reef side.

Duncan and Poddy were great pilots, lovely people. Easy straight forward pre-brief prior to the flight and they gave me a flight suit as well. The photos I've shared have been taken by Duncan.

I had big expectations of my scenic flight with Birds Eye View, but the experience far outstripped even these. Gav was simply fabulous, his instructions clear and put me at ease from the very start. From pre-brief, to take-off and handing over the controls to me I felt in very capable hands. We saw dugongs, dolphin pods, sting rays, baby sharks, turtles and of course a whale shark and gave the reef a big hug and a yahoo as we turned back for the aerodrome. A perfect way finish off my perfect Exmouth holiday. I could not more highly recommend this experience or this business. Don’t ‘umm and ahhhh’, just do it. You won’t regret it!

An incredible experience! Bucketlist level! Not only is being in an ultralight a huge buzz and super fun, we saw turtles, dugongs, whalesharks with young, sea snakes, flying fish, the most incredible colours of the reef coastline and so much more. We both had attentive pilots who couldn’t have done more to make the experience mesmerising, insightful and fun. Very caring support offered at the end of trip for this motion affected co-pilot - thanks Gav :) Whole thing is sooo worth it. A must-do experience.

We have done a number of scenic fights in helicopters before of the Great Barrier Reef and Grand Canyon. But this fight beats those hands down. You have an uninterrupted view of the spectacular Ningaloo Reef and all that she has the offer. You can put your hands out and it feels like you are touching it. We missed the whale season but the marine life on Ningaloo is heaving with sharks and manta rays and we had the nesting turtles too.
We were given a SD card with great photos from the mounted Go-Pro camera on the wing of ultralight which captured the great experience that we had.
Thank you, Birds Eye View. We will be back.
