Available from either Carnarvon or Denham, the tours cost $550 per person for three guests and $825 per person for two. A picnic lunch, cold drinks and snorkelling gear are included.
Coral Coast Helicopter Services also offers heli-snorkel tours to the Quobba Blowholes, heli-fishing trips and scenic flights over Bernier and Dorre islands, Red Bluff and more.
There's also a 10-minute Scenic Sunset Flight option, with prices from $80 per person, available from Carnarvon, Coral Bay and Denham.
