It\u2019s practically impossible to snap a bad photo of the reef, so keep your camera at the ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div  class=\"lux_UI lux_single_dealcard cacheid_d7bdcbf751bf5d359b74b83dbb77ed63\">\n\t\n\t<div class=\"dealcard_preview\">\n\t\t<div class=\"splide lux_dealcard_gallery\" data-lux-event=\"gallery_carousel\" data-lux-event-trigger=\"splide-moved\" aria-label=\"Luxury Escapes: One-Hour Scenic Flight Over Whitsunday Islands &#038; Great Barrier Reef\"><div class=\"splide__arrows\"><button class=\"splide__arrow splide__arrow--prev\"><\/button><button class=\"splide__arrow splide__arrow--next\"><\/button><\/div><a href=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/us\/experience\/ocean-rafting-1-hour-scenic-flight\/rez:PG3P4W\" data-le=\"promo\" data-type=\"experience \" data-name=\"One-Hour Scenic Flight Over Whitsunday Islands &#038; Great Barrier Reef\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"offer_link_wrap\"><div class=\"splide__track\"><div class=\"splide__list\"><div class=\"splide__slide dealcard_img\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/w6hjkst9bmzzmuahq1im\" alt=\"One-Hour Scenic Flight Over Whitsunday Islands &#038; Great Barrier Reef 1\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\"><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"splide__slide dealcard_img\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/jdnfs6n3ukmwcme07j\" alt=\"One-Hour Scenic Flight Over Whitsunday Islands &#038; Great Barrier Reef 2\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\"><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"splide__slide dealcard_img\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/xnx71c0tacr78y4qqn\" alt=\"One-Hour Scenic Flight Over Whitsunday Islands &#038; Great Barrier Reef 3\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\"><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"splide__slide dealcard_img\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/h9w1fqvlfm97vmldvc3\" alt=\"One-Hour Scenic Flight Over Whitsunday Islands &#038; Great Barrier Reef 4\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\"><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"splide__slide dealcard_img\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/x654hrco0o6grp0kj4e\" alt=\"One-Hour Scenic Flight Over Whitsunday Islands &#038; Great Barrier Reef 5\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\"><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"splide__slide dealcard_img\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/1u0supa0nq8d7k6rf95d\" alt=\"One-Hour Scenic Flight Over Whitsunday Islands &#038; Great Barrier Reef 6\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\"><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"splide__slide dealcard_img\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/y504973itle5a2i79nha\" alt=\"One-Hour Scenic Flight Over Whitsunday Islands &#038; Great Barrier Reef 7\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\"><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div class=\"dealcard_details\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/us\/experience\/ocean-rafting-1-hour-scenic-flight\/rez:PG3P4W\" data-le=\"promo\" data-type=\"experience deal_card\" data-name=\"One-Hour Scenic Flight Over Whitsunday Islands &#038; Great Barrier Reef\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"offer_link_wrap\">\t\t<div class=\"dealcard_details_inner\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"location\"><i><\/i><span>Air Whitsunday Drive<\/span><\/div><div class=\"name\">One-Hour Scenic Flight Over Whitsunday Islands &#038; Great Barrier Reef<\/div><div class=\"highlight_box\"><\/div><div class=\"deal_info\"><div class=\"nights\">from<\/div><div class=\"range luxplus\"><span class=\"currency\">US<\/span><span class=\"price\">$226<\/span><span class=\"type\"> total<\/span><span class=\"with_luxplus\"> with <em><\/em><\/span><\/div><div class=\"range range_small\"><span class=\"label\">Non-member<\/span><span class=\"currency\">US<\/span><span class=\"price\">$245<\/span><\/div><div class=\"tax\">Taxes &#038; fees apply<\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<span class=\"btn_view_offer\">View offer<\/span>\n\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Escape to a secluded rainforest retreat in the hinterlands<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re looking for a dreamy hideaway in nature, discover a pocket of calm at Tranquil Getaways, a hidden family-run retreat tucked along Obi Obi Creek in Maleny.
