What you can expect
This is the ultimate Great Barrier Reef scenic flight taking in the highlights of the inner reef with a secret stop at the idyllic Vlassof Cay. Departing from Cairns Airport, a 30 minute Cairns helicopter flight provides passengers with those picture-postcard views of the vibrant Great Barrier Reef from the air.
Tracking East, fly over the Cairns and Trinity Inlet soaring over False Cape where you can view the remnants of WWII defences, Mt Yarrabah, Mission Bay and Cape Grafton. Next, the pilot will head towards the inner Great Barrier Reef. Witness the colourful coral reefs and diverse wildlife from the comfort of a helicopter.
