PARADISE SEAPLANES

Wilga 80 Seaplane: Designed in the 1950''s as an observation aircraft, this historic plane is perfect for the job. It is stable, slow and boasts better-than-helicopter views! Plus, it is certified to fly with the Doors Off!Built in Poland, this is one of the few Wilga 80''s on floats in the world, and is the only one in Australia. Not only that, this is your only opportunity for a seaplane adventure in Queensland between Gladstone and Port Macquarie!A Total Adventure: The fabulous thing about a Seaplane is that it opens up a world where no-one else can go. There is no need for airports or runways, just water. No other type of aircraft lets you look down, pick a likely spot on the river and touch down as gracefully as a seabird. (Well, ‘graceful’ like a black swan, not like a pelican!)We Take 3: We fly with a minimum of two passengers, or up to three, with the maximum combined passenger weight limited to 200kg. Your flight is a personal and memorable experience.(Please note - Children fly at Adult prices.)Never Too Old: Our oldest passenger to date has been 99 years of age with the youngest being two years old. As long as you are 15kg or more, are relatively mobile and can operate our lifevest, you can fly with us.Passengers will get their feet wet, and need to climb a couple of rungs to get into the aircraft. There is no disability access to the river, but ask us how we can assist.Our Pilots: With thousands of hours up their sleeves, you can rest assured you are in safe hands. These guys have a wealth of experience and love what they do. Our crew endeavours to make you feel like a V.I.P. from beginning to end.Sustainable you say? Yes! Did you know that float planes are considered the MOST environmentally friendly means of accessing remote areas in wildernesses throughout the world. That''s because they don''t require roads to access, do not exhaust pollutants into the water, and because their propulsion system is above the water, it doesn''t damage sea life.AND, our aircraft is carbon-neutral!
