Return flight from Bert's
Arrive early for check-in
Plan to arrive at Rose Bay at least 30 minutes before your scheduled pick-up to complete safety briefings and boarding procedures.
Wear non-slip shoes
You’ll board via dock and climb seaplane stairs; stable, closed-toe footwear reduces the risk on wet surfaces.
Protect your camera
Use a wrist or neck strap and a waterproof cover—low-altitude turns and water transfers can throw up spray.
Mind the mobility requirement
Passengers must independently climb and descend seaplane stairs and step between boat and plane; if you need assistance, contact the operator before booking.
Windproof jacket
Keeps you comfortable during takeoff and landing when winds and spray can be brisk.
Non-slip, closed-toe shoes
Required for safe boarding on wet docks and seaplane stairs.
Camera with strap
Low-altitude aerial views reward photographers—secure gear to avoid loss during water transfer.
Sunscreen and sunglasses
Bright sun reflects off the harbour; protect skin and reduce glare through the flight.
