This action-packed afternoon is sure to impress even the fussiest adventure-seeker. Take a 30-minute scenic helicopter tour over the Great Barrier Reef from Cairns to enjoy the views to magnificent coral reefs and marine life and finish your day by

Got a spare afternoon in Cairns and laying by the pool is not your idea of having fun? Book a 30 minute reef scenic helicopter flight over the Great Barrier Reef and enjoy thrilling jet boat ride once back at the marina instead. You are sure to take some spectacular photos from the reef formations and with a bit of luck- some bigger marine creatures such as whales, sharks, dolphins or even sea turtles may show up.

Sweeping Views to the Great Barrier Reef From Above

Check-in at the GBR helicopter office in Cairns Pier at 12.30pm for your 1pm departure. Buckle up and get your camera out for the most amazing 30 minutes of your life. Glide past tropical Green Island and wave to the beach-goers, take a look at Vlasoff and Michaelmas Cay’s and check-out gorgeous Arlington reef. Your tour might be especially rewarding during the winter months as the Dwarf Minke and Humpback whale season is in full swing. You are flying relatively low at times therefore even smaller marine animals such as sea turtles might be visible.

Finish Off Your Day with Jet Boat Adventures

Once you have seen the reef and all its wonders take a short 5 minute stroll to Cairns Marlin Marina A-finger for your jet boat adventure. The tour starts at 1pm and is sure to keep the smile on your face for the whole 35 minutes you are spinning and doing 360 degree turns in the water. It is a perfect way to cool down in Tropical North Queensland as you will be struggling to find a dry spot after your adventure. You will also have some time to take in the beautiful views to Trinity Inlet, mangroves and surrounding mountain peaks. If you are really lucky you may even spot a crocodile sunbaking on the river bank!

Don’t Forget The Photos!

Don’t miss out on the opportunity to purchase some action-photos from your jet boating adventure. Your captain/guide will have the camera going for the whole trip!
