Great Barrier Reef Helicopter Tours | Helicopter & Reef Tour Combos | The Tour Specialists
There is no better experience than a Great Barrier Reef helicopter tour & reef combo package deal for guests to see so much of the Great Barrier Reef in just one day. Combing a scenic helicopter ride with a Great Barrier Reef tour makes for the perfect combination for guests to see the reef from above and from below the waters surface in the one day. Guests simply love our Fly/Cruise/Cruise/Fly packages where you can take a 25 minute scenic flight across the reef to land at a floating interactive pontoon where you can spend the day exploring the reef in a semi-submarine, glass bottom boat, on a Sea Scooter or in an underwater observatory. You may then choose to return to from the Great Barrier Reef via helicopter or jump on the boat and cruise home over the reef. Other helicopter and reef combo options are flying off to a remote sand cay in the middle of the reef where you can swim and indulge in a glass of bubbles and some nibbles with not another person or land in sight, or a trip to an island for the day to dive and snorkel. Take off on a helicopter scenic flight from Cairns, Port Douglas, Townsville, Whitsundays, Hamilton Island or Airlie Beach. The Tour Specialists can also arrange private charter helicopter flights over the Great Barrier Reef for groups and larger families to explore the Great Barrier Reef your way.
