A vintage seaplane may not scream “environmentally friendly” at first glance, but a flight with Paradise Seaplanes is one of the most sustainable ways to explore the beautiful Sunshine Coast.
Paradise Seaplanes owner and pilot Shawn Kelly said Willy, as their post-world war Wilga Warbird (PS104-80) is affectionately known, is the only commercially-operated seaplane between Port Macquarie and Gladstone, and the only seaplane of its type in Australia.
PARADISE Seaplanes is launching for a summer full of the best ‘birds eye adventure flights over the gorgeous the Sunshine Coast, offering tourists and locals alike the opportunity to see the region from a breathtaking and unique perspective.
Paradise Seaplanes’s Shawn Kelly said they were blessed to be able to take off from the gorgeous Maroochy River and fly over different parts of the Sunshine Coast.
“Everyone knows the Sunshine Coast is famous for its beautiful natural environment from its stunning beaches and gorgeous hinterland but its not until to get to fly over low and slow that you really get to experience everything,” Shawn said.“We have adventure flights to suit everyone, with all offering an amazing perspective of different parts of the Coast, and best of all, each one includes the exciting river take off and landing.
