When you are booking your accommodation in Port Macquarie for your upcoming holiday, don't forget to choose a place that will be in close proximity to the many attractions in the area. Not only will this make it easier for you to get an early start in the mornings and fill your day with fun, but it will also mean you will not have to travel as far in the evenings to get back to your "home away from home." There are so many fun things to do in Port Macquarie that you will probably have a difficult time deciding just what you want to experience each day!

Take Akuna Seaplanes for example. This business specializes in air tours such as Scenic and Adventure flights, plus Fishing and Restaurant tours, Romantic flights, Picnic flights, "Surfaris" and private charters. Their base of operations is in Port Macquarie, right on the town wharf, and as you will see when you go there, some of the planes that they use are a bit different from most. These are float planes, or what some call amphibian planes. They both take off and land on the water! One is an Amphibious 5 passenger 206, and another is a 3 passenger Cessna 172 floatplane. Akuna Seaplanes also has other sizes of these type of aircraft, one of which should satisfy even the most white-knuckled flyer.

Akuna Seaplanes is able to provide coverage of most of Australia's East coast. Truly, there is no better way to see the scenery that is native to this part of the country. You'll be able to enjoy viewing rugged mountains, silvery waterfalls, the gorges that nature has etched into the earth, and the rivers and coastal inlets. You may even be able to spot a few sea creatures frolicking, such as dolphins and whales. Imagine the chance to see all this while you are seated comfortably in a seaplane with your travelling companions!

No matter which one of the tours you choose to take, safety is one factor you definitely won't have to worry about. Each pilot who flies for Akuna is fully certified with CASA, and also has some experience flying for domestic airlines and also bush flying. Akuna is meticulous about wanting their clients to enjoy themselves on one of these flight adventures. They aren't satisfied unless you feel as if your experience with them had the ambiance of a trip you personally planned for yourself.

Probably the most romantic tour offered at Akuna is the picnic flight. You'll feel as if you are in a movie, or perhaps more like you are having a wonderful dream! You and your companion will be flown to an exclusive beach - exclusive meaning private. Your pilot will land on the water, which is a thrill all by itself! Once you have your picnic basket, towels, beach umbrella and blanket out of the plane, your pilot will instruct you to have fun, and tell you that he or she will be back in several hours. The food, including champagne and special "boutique" beer, is absolutely superb. You'll savour the quietness on your private island, and you'll certainly experience a day to remember!

Akuna Seaplanes is just one of the reasons why Port Macquarie, Australia is a wonderful place to visit!
