Rediscover the beauty of our home and take to the skies with Joy Air and experience our region from a new perspective with a unique experience. Joy Air has been providing awe-inspiring seaplane scenic tours since arriving in town back in November last year.

Departing from around Lake Macquarie, guests can get picked up from a public jetty, Rafferty’s Resort or request to be picked up from your very own private jetty! For the thrill-seekers out there, ask the Joy Air team about their Doors-off adrenaline flight for one hell of an exhilarating experience.

Climbing aboard Joy Air, you’ll get Joy all to yourself and two friends to enjoy (alongside your pilot of course). The bright red floatplane is sure to treat you to a unique experience you’ll be raving about for years to come.

With over 50 years flight experience, you’ll be in the hands of trusty Pilot Paul taking you (and your crew) around the skies to enjoy our region from above.
