★★★★★ ★★★★★ Terrible Jamaine 19 February 2024 My booking was for 10:45. We got there and the plane had already taken off before departure time. They tried to get me on another flight told me to stay for drinks, so we waited, but the pilot with a 10 seater aircraft “only carrying 4 people plus the pilot” told us no. Then this lady told me this was my fault, the departure times had changed I told her I wasn’t notified of the change. Terrible experience, the venue wasn’t accommodating at all. Money hungry venue, just beware people.

★★★★★ ★★★★★ The most beautiful way to take in Sydney Angela 19 June 2022 This truly was an experience I will never forget. I can be a nervous flyer so getting on the the tiny tin Cleopatra was admittedly nerve-racking, but the nerves were quickly replaced with admiration as the seaplane left the waters of Rose Bay on a beautiful sunny Sydney morning - truly the most incredible way to see the vast beauty of this city and surrounding northern beaches. The Pilot was collected, had a calming presence and very knowledgable of the areas we flew over. The lunch was really delicious and was a great way to just sit in awe reflecting over a once in a lifetime experience. I absolutely recommend!
★★★★★ ★★★★★ A great experience Geoffrey 13 February 2022 Absolutely enjoyed the magnificent flight and the views of our great city
