Qld Government vaccine mandates coming into effect on December 17, require all passengers excluding children will need to be fully vaccinated or have a valid medical exemption to fly with Australia by Seaplane.
Proof of vaccination will be requested when you book your flight. All Australia by Seaplane ground crew and pilots are fully vaccinated and will be happy to show proof should it be requested.
Queensland Health advises some mandates will be relaxed once we hit the 90% vaccination rate. ๐Ÿคž
Feel free to give us a bell or drop us an email if you have any questions.

* MEDIA RELEASE *

Effectively immediately, our office at the Gladstone Airport is closed and all flights are cancelled.

Given the current collapse of tourism and the economy throughout Australia and globally, the management of Australia by Seaplane have made the difficult decision to cease Seaplane operations from the Gladstone Airport effective immediately.

Our dedicated team has made enormous efforts to continue providing our world-class services to the community of Gladstone, however with decreasing passenger numbers and the disproportionate costs of operating from Gladstone, the business can no longer remain financially viable in this region.

It is the hope of management that the closure of our Gladstone branch will be short-term, however this will depend heavily on the duration of the COVID-19 impacts and the time it takes for both the Australian economy and the Tourism Industry to recover.

We would like to thank the community of Gladstone for their support over the past 8 years. Also, we would like to thank our dedicated and professional team (including the Heron Island staff and management) for many years of going above and beyond to ensure our passengers are delivered to their destinations safely and efficiently.

Aviation safety doesnโ€™t happen by itself. Eight years without incident in the aviation industry is a testament to the professionalism and responsibility shown by each and every team-member. A very heart-felt thank you.

Any enquiries should be emailed to [email protected]

Weโ€™d also like to thank the excellent team at Heron Island for their tireless assistance during this disruption. The Heron Island Resort team have gone above and beyond to assist guests with logistics and alternate travel arrangements.

**UPDATE**
As many of our passengers are already aware, we have had a number of interruptions to our seaplane services over the last few days.

These interruptions have been caused by unforeseen aircraft maintenance. We are having considerable difficulty getting the required aircraft parts sourced and delivered from both within Australia and overseas, which is understandable at this time of year.

Safety of our passengers and staff has, and alway will be the primary concern for the team at Australia By Seaplane. We do not take shortcuts with the maintenance of our aircraft and will only recommence our services when our elite aircraft engineers have completed the necessary works.

Unfortunately, there is very little we can do to speed up the process, however in the meantime we are doing everything possible to assist our passengers with alternate travel options.

We thank all of our passengers and guests for your understanding and patience at this time.

Obviously this isn't the way we envisioned 2019 coming to a close, however we'd like to take this opportunity to thank all of our guests, passengers and staff for the past year. We wish you all a happy and prosperous new year

**Big things are coming in 2020!

We have a very exciting new destination on the Great Barrier Reef opening early next year. We can't say too much just yet, but if adventure is on your bucket list for 2020... watch this space!

and inside one of the โ€˜s many Tidal Lagoon Reef systems. With no land in sight, weโ€™re ready to jump in and see whatโ€™s below.

There are many Tidal Lagoon systems dotted along the Great Barrier Reef where at low tide the whole or parts of the outside edge of the reef come exposed while the centre remains filled, leaving crystal clear flat water for us to land on ๐Ÿ‘Œ
See this lagoon from the air in the second image.

To finish off self exploration of the entire length of the Great Barrier Reef we took the BushHawk out to Swain Reefs National Park 260km offshore in search of healthy coral. Landing inside one of the Swainโ€™s many lagoon systems, what we found, speaks for itself.
