Flight was great - some information up front about parking, how to get from the airfield to the settlement and return arrangements would've been good.We were offered a return flight (rather than ferry) but bad weather prevented this. I asked which ferry we would be catching and this was going to be confirmed but never was. Ferry crew expected us to have tickets via QR code like everyone else but we didn't. They let us on anyway. Getting back to our car from the ferry in a rain storm was an experience.

We’ve had THE most amazing day on our flight/long lunch on Rottnest! From when we arrived at the jetty in the morning and were greeted by a lovely man who handed us a glass of bubbly , until we landed back on the Swan River at the end of the day, we were looked after . The company is extremely professional as are their pilots and land crew. Our landings were exceptional. The whole experience was exhilarating to say the least! 😃

We went on the Taste of Margaret River tour and it was fabulous!Champagne on arrival before setting off on the Swan River in a seaplane.......so much fun!!! We took in the city views then hugged the coast down to Busselton. Out of the window we could see whales and their calves from this perfect vantage point.Our Chauffeur service from Busselton to the Margaret River wineries was quick and scenic taking in the gorgeous forest.The distillery and wineries were the perfect choices and the lunch was delicious, making this an unmissable trip.Thanks so much to the wonderful staff and crew who helped make this the perfect day. Thoroughly recommend!!

Swan River Seaplanes is the most incredible experience! We did the day tour to Rottnest and a fabulous tour of the city, coast and Rottnest in both directions. The plane is much more substantial that I originally thought, and safety was the #1 priority. I highly recommend it for a really fun experience, and a very quick trip to Rottnest and back!

The trip was wonderful and the pilot, Callum, was a very a good ambassador for the company.

My wife and I recently had the pleasure of flying with Swan River Seaplanes to the Margaret River wine region, and it was an experience we won't soon forget. Right from the start, the team made us feel valued and excited for our journey, with a seamless booking process and warm customer service.The flight itself was a highlight, offering us breathtaking aerial views of the landscape as we made our way to one of Australia's most renowned wine regions. The sense of adventure, combined with the comfort and safety of the seaplane, made the trip truly special.Upon landing, we were treated to a vineyard lunch that perfectly captured the essence of the Margaret River wine region. The food, the setting, and the attention to detail were impeccable, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to our adventure.Swan River Seaplanes provided an unparalleled experience, blending luxury, adventure, and the best of the Margaret River wine region. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a memorable and unique way to explore this beautiful area.

What an amazing day! Departing from the swan river with a scenic flight all the way down the cost to Busselton and then marking our way to Aravina winery with a wine tasting and a delicious lunch it was truly magical I love that swan river sea planes support some of the more intimate wineries as well such as windows estate.Such a great day.

Absolutely unreal experience!We were able to experience Margaret River after only a 45 minute scenic flight by seaplane from the Swan River.Amazing food, amazing drinks and fantastic friendly staff.After a day of wining and dining we landed back in the swan river feeling fresh and relaxed.Definitely recommend Swan River Seaplanes for an unforgettable experience!

1708587965

Wonderful experience from start to finish. Booking was simple, staff on the phone and in person were helpful and lovely. Travelled perth to Rottnest and returned 3 days later, trip was so fast, flight silky smooth, landings were incredible. We had 2 kids under 5 who enjoyed the flight, the youngest fell asleep. Definitely the best way to get to rotto and back. Made it from our house to Rottnest into the hotel in an hour, leaving the whole day free to enjoy the island immediately. We made it from the hotel in rotto to our house in Perth in 45 mins. Great when you have kids!
