- rasputin19800 contributionsJust go and do it.Got a flight around the bay as a Father’s Day present. Just a quick 10 minute deal but it was well worth it. Shawn is an interesting and amiable dude, I would recommend this to anyone.Written 24 August 2024
- 674verenab0 contributionsLocals seeing the sites.So great to see the coastline from the air, loved every minute of it. Highly recommend for locals and visitors to the coast.Written 20 June 2024
- Marg2570 contributionsFantastic scenic flightShawn was very approachable and friendly as we noticed his great looking seaplane parked up along the rivers edge. Couldn’t resist asking if he could provide an impromptu short flight, which he was more than happy to accommodate. Had an amazingly good flight on a perfect day for flying - no wind, sun shining, calm water. The views over Maroochydore and the ocean were stunning and Shawn is knowledgeable about the area. Can highly recommended. Value for money - 10 out of 10!Written 10 June 2024
- 676michm0 contributionsA grinning experienceHusband and son did this experience. The grin from ear to ear after they landed said it all. Shawn the pilot was amazing explaining everything to our quietly anxious 7year old. The views were fantastic, they had a great day for it and such a fun experience taking off and landing on water. Definitely recommend to anyone. Contact them directly for a chat!Written 27 May 2024

- U202RWdustinh0 contributionsRound engines on floats!I'm an experienced "round engine pilot" and a passionate aviator. My girlfriend surprised me with this flight and it was amazing! This was my first time in a Wilga, and my first time in a float plane. The ruggedness of the Wilga and the experience of Shawn the pilot made this an unforgettable experience. The scenery all the way up to Noosa and back is spectacular. I highly recommend this adventure.Written 1 March 2024

- MarkP67810 contributionsGreat ExperienceFinally got a great weather day to use our flight. Shaun was extremely accommodating and communicated really well with us both leading up to and during the flight. It was quite a surreal experience to fly past when you live and was amazing to take off and land in the Maroochy River. Highly recommend this adventure flight.Written 22 January 2024
- 96laneyf0 contributionsGoing above and beyond.I wanted to buy a trip for my son and his family. Paradise Planes, were incredibly patient with me as I thought about the options. This was very comforting. Furthermore as I work abroad, agreeing to 'pass on my hug,' was a wonderful advantage. Thank you Paradise Planes, for going above and beyond. You were great. 👍 LaneyWritten 11 January 2024
- S3408BTandrewr0 contributionsDefinitely worth it!Really wonderful experience. Shawn was very helpful in suggesting the right trip given the weather forecast and was very accommodating on the departure time. The flight was wonderful - Glass House Mountains, Noosa and back along Sunshine Beach.Written 8 January 2024
- theresec20240 contributionsUp Up and AwayOur daughter, granddaughters and their partners gave us this wonderful experience for Christmas. Shawn was a delightful pilot, patient and describing what to expect. It was a fabulous time of day and perfect weather for the flight. Loved skimming across the water and the relaxed feeling of soaring like a bird, taking in all the gorgeous scenery of the coast. Can recommend Shawn and the flight as a fantastic way to view this area. Thanks, Shawn, for making the flight a truly wonderful experience for us. Therese and JohnWritten 1 January 2024

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

See the sunshine coast from the air was such a great experience and then to top it off to come across a newly born humpback calf with her mum keeping the calf safely by her side.
Thanks to our pilot Shawn we circled the pair twice to gain a better view & enjoy the once in a lifetime view of a Humpback whale and her calf just cruising 100 meters of Pregian Beach and what a backdrop with the best beaches in the world.
Not to forget we saw a pod of Dolphins & loved the Seaplane experience
I would recommend this experience to all my friends & family.
Thanks Shawn

It was one of a kind experience, ONLY door-off seaplane in Australia. Views were amazing (glass house mountains and pristine beaches), ride was pleasant and would highly recommend this tour package. We even spotted humpback whales in the ocean (Noosa/ Coolum area). Pilot Shawn was very friendly and professional. Will do it again next year.

The whole experience was the favourite part of the trip! Stunning scenery, whales, tuna, dolphins all viewed from a classic aeroplane, with the whole experience enhanced by having doors off - only way to go!

I had the pleasure of flying from Maroochy River to Noosa up via the coastline and returning over Twin Waters.
I thoroughly recommend this 30 minute trip and think that it would make the perfect birthday gift, as it was for my partner today.
Flying at 500 feet, we saw whales, dolphins, turtles and schools of fish.
The skipper and his offsides were great and I couldn't imagine a better choice of aircraft.
Thanks guys so much and I will definitely be recommending your spectacular service when I can.

Yes, that is a great flight. Thank you for joining us. We have to say that the Sunshine Coast is spectacular - full stop! Thank you so much for your 5 star review.

Zvonko, I reckon 60s is the new 40s!!
Yes, I agree, it is VERY WINDY! Thanks to you and Diana for joining us on board and for your review!
A note: These passengers enjoyed our Noosa River Adventure which is 30 minutes of flying time.
Paradise Seaplanes usually does not recommend Doors Off for longer flights such as our Noosa to AZ/Glasshouse Mountains Adventure, unless of course you are a real adrenaline junky and want 60+ minutes of skydiving-sitting-down!
