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!

During the flight I saw a humpback whale with her calf 🐋, then dugongs 🐟, turtles 🐢 and even manta ray🪽.
My pilot Dan was absolutely amazing, he created such a calm and relaxed atmosphere that I felt completely confident and safe throughout the entire flight. 💙
It was truly an unforgettable experience, a memory I’ll carry with me forever!

“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 🐋💙

Staff are super cool, very chill and very helpful.
They make the experience comfortable and are always checking on you especially if you are a nervous flyer. Team where a good laugh and we all felt very welcomed when we got there to, the things we saw were breathtaking and definitely an experience that needs to be on someone’s bucket list, 100000% worth a try

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.
Highly recommend a one-hour flight as a minimum. Literally, the time flies. 😄

What an incredible, once in a lifetime experience! Worth every penny. We got closeups of the wildlife in the reef and seeing the blues from up above is special. 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.

This was truly a fabulous experience, never smiled so much in an hour! It’s way better that the normal whale watching tour as you can truly see all the wildlife without bothering them, mum and baby humpback whales swimming together, plenty of whale sharks even if it shouldn’t be the season, and so many turtles!
Our pilots were amazing and very knowledgeable about the area and the animals, we did it the first day we stayed in Exmouth and they showed us all the beautiful beaches from above, so now we know where to go.
The flight wasn’t scary at all, my partner is not comfortable with heights but he still did it and enjoyed it as well. Before the flight the pilots give a briefing where they explain everything about the aircraft and the fight.
I definitely recommend this to everyone and I can’t wait to come back with family to make them try it too!
Worth every cent 👍🏼 thank you guys for the experience of a lifetime!

I went for a fly with Gus on the Silver Bullet and WOW what an experience of a lifetime! Wonderful operation and what a fantastic view of the Ningaloo Reef!
Gus was great - spotting sharks, humpback whales, rays and turtles from the air and we got some great photos from the GoPro. 10/10 recommend!

This business is the best. So friendly and fun. My flight was dreamy. So smoothly executed by my pilot Gavin. Throw in some exhilarating turns and not to forget the reef. Just amazing! Do it. Whales, mantas, hammerheads, tigers and dugongs.

I'm generally fearful of this type of excursion but didn't have a moment's worry and loved every bit, my pilot, Dan, made me feel very secure and safe.
Bird's Eye View also supplied each of us with our own photos taken from the wing and some taken by the pilots
We'd all do it again!

What an incredible experience! This company was highly recommended by our captain of the fishing charter. And we would say he was absolutely right. We had a blast of riding this microlight into the sky up to 7000 feet. The view of the Cape Range NP and Ningaloo Reef from up high was just incredible! We also got to see dugones, bull sharks, humpback whales, sting rays, etc from above. Definitely a once in a lifetime experience!

Don't spend time reading reviews or thinking about it - just do it! What an experience: Cape Range and Ningaloo Reef from above, Whale Sharks, Turtles, Dugongs, Tiger Sharks and more.

Just had the most phenomenal experience going up on the microlights. We saw whale sharks, Rays, and all sorts of critters in the ocean from above. Our pilots were fantastic, calm and give you an excellent experience from the beginning to the end! We can not recommend this enough, if you are in Exmouth it is a must-do activity. Absolutely loved it! 10/10 - lots of love Sue & Jess :)

Probably the best thing you will do in Ningaloo/Exmouth. Put it on your bucket list for sure. Both our pilots made us feel at ease, considering one of us gets panic attacks it was simply incredible. When the engines are switched off and you glide there's no better feeling like being free as a bird!

???????? Unforgettable experience of Ningaloo. A definite if visiting Exmouth. We did 90 minute & experienced the Cape peninsula & all marine life from above like no other I've ever seen before. Multiple whale & calf sightings, rays, turtles, whale shark. So much to see. Awesome footage (go pro & photos) included in price. Pilots Gavin & Duncan, were fun, super positive & friendly. Felt safe & cared for the whole flight. Smooth calm ride. Just going through photos & footage now & so amazed by what this part of earth has to offer. Do not miss this one. Note: take travel calm before if slightly prone to motion sickness.

Amazing experience, I was a bit (a lot) scared but at the same time I wanted to experience the flight and … it was fun, I haven’t felt unsafe or uncomfortable. Seeing Ningaloo Reef and the ranges from the bird eye was unforgettable experience. I swam with wild sharks, did cage of death in Darwin and I’m glad I did it but once it’s enough, however do micro flying it’s as good as once is not enough. Definitely my husband and I will go back to do it again. Huge highlight of our holidays.

It was fantastic to see the reef from above and we saw loads of humpback whales (mums, babies and sometimes pods of up to 6 males). We saw an oceanic manta ray as well as a number of the smaller mantas and other rays, plus literally blankets of turtles getting ready to go onto the beaches!!!
Duncan & Gav made it so much fun and gave lots of information as well thank you so much for an unforgettable experience we’re reliving it now going through the many photos we got

Gavin and Dunken took us on an epic trip that pictures don't even remotely give a true picture of the amazing journey they took us on. We saw humpback whales, manta rays, tiger sharks, dolphins, and hundreds of sea turtles. Yes, the visibilty was amazing we could see so much Ningaloo Reef wildlife that would have taken a lifetime by boat.
We are so glad we booked this trip and honestly have a new appreciation of Exmouth. This should be a must do if you traveled this far to see the Austalian coastline.
