Clean comfortable ride, felt safe at all times, Michael was very attentive to our needs and very knowledgeable for the history and all the best spots.
A wonderful highlight to our holiday.
From the office staff to pilot we had no issues. They were all willing to help and make out trip a wonderful holiday experience.
So many totally unexpected surprises, and times amazing. Nature at it's finest. And the lunch was perfectly cooked and most enjoyable!
I highly recommend this adventure.
They are very professional ????
We flew over Pink Lake instead .. and it was very faded. Big disappointment to us for the prince paid.
The pilot did not go through a safety talk on boarding aircraft. Plane not particularly comfortable. We are accustomed to small aircraft as we have taken many helicopter and small plane flights before.
One thing I found very helpful was that I took a map of the area with me on board (not provided) so I was able to follow flight path and plot our course. This was wonderful to have over the coastline.
I would get specifics if wanting to do this flight - and check out directly if Lake Hillier has gained some colour.
I googled Lake Hillier's pinkness AFTER our flight for February 2023. Here is what I found:
"Unfortunately, due to more than a century of salt extraction from this high salt content lake, the red pigments in Pink Lake, Esperance, have faded. There are plans afoot to return the pink colour to this landmark."
Wish I did this prior to our flight and didn't just blindly believe this company and its deceptiveness.
Stunning beaches and sites. Saw couple of emus. Driver Ben was very knowledgable and a great guide.
Take your swimmers and grab a swim.
Our pilot is really good. He's very calm and communicative when we had the cancellation. His flying skill is commendable and we had smooth take-off and landing. The way to get to Pink Lake was very long and unfortunately there’s no in-flight entertainment hahaha :-D so try your best to enjoy the views. For some reason, I couldn't hear the pilot on my headphone from halfway through the flight so I missed most of his talks, but due to my fear and everything, I just let it go and decided to try to focus and enjoy the ride. I was lucky there's another couple also booked in on my birthday and was lucky again that we got to fly the 2nd time after the 1st one was cancelled due to low flying clouds. Out at the sea, our flight was smooth and we had no turbulence whatsoever. BUT, it was a totally different case when we're flying in-between from land-to-sea and vice versa. Due to change of air, we had some big turbulence and this was when I SCREAMED LOL My body got so tense and I clenched my fist so tight on the chair. An absolute madness! In a small plane like that, you would feel everything. And I mean EVERYTHING! I felt so exhausted afterwards cos I was so tense that I felt as if I had been to the gym for whole day!!! :-D Hahahahaha oh it's hilarious!
Like I said, my one criticism is I felt the flying time around the Pink Lake was extremely too short. I mean, considering the long way to get to the Pink Lake (approx 45mins one way), I believe they should fly two loops around the lake, allowing the passengers to see the lake TWICE on their side, not just once, and therefore giving us more time to savour the views and take pictures.
But anywho, I’m glad I finally ticked off one more thing in my bucketlist. If you've got the chance and the mulla, I totally recommend this scenic flight. You just gotta see our very own WA's iconic place at least once in a lifetime. I'm already in the talk with one of the tour operators to do a cruise and walking on Pink Lake next year. SO EXCITED!!!
