The Experience: Introducing the "River Dash," Paradise Seaplanes' rapid recon sortie for those looking for a quick adrenaline fix or operating on a tight schedule. Your sortie begins at Maroochy River's edge, where the tactile sensations of cool water and warm sand set the stage. 

After your briefing, you'll climb into our tactical observation craft—designed so every seat is a vantage point for spectacular views. Enjoy the rush as we execute a water takeoff, soaring out to the river mouth for a jaw-dropping sweep over Sunshine Coast's coastal defenses.

As we execute a precision turn and vector back to Maroochy River, prepare for the serenity of a textbook water landing—elegant as a swan gracing the river's surface. This 5-minute aerial maneuver, part of a 25-minute total operational experience, will leave you exhilarated.

Please note: Maximum combined passenger weight is capped at 200 kilograms. Prices are per operator, accommodating a squad size of one to three passengers per flight.
