Cairns Great Barrier Reef Helicopter Flight | 30 Minutes | NT
From Cairns we take off in our high performance helicopter on a scenic flight that will have us explore the great wonders of the Great Barrier Reef from the air.
The beginning of the journey you will fly out to Green Island a coral cay on Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, located 27 km offshore from Cairns.
Green Island is a picturesque island with unique Island rainforest and is surrounded by white sandy beaches, magnificent fringing coral reef and an abundance of marine life.
View the spectacular reef, marine life, rainforest and white sandy cays as you saw above and around this beautiful island before making your way towards Arlington Reef.
Arlington Reef is a shallower reef which makes it great for flying over because you get to see the coral formations and the beautiful colours of the reef. Arlington Reef has an abundance of fish life and turtles; these are often spotted when flying over Arlington Reef.
We then continue our scenic helicopter flight to Vlassoff Sand Cay and Upolu Sand Cay.
Vlassoff Sand Cay and Upolu Sand Cay are naturally formed, un-vegetated sand cays, surrounded by fringing coral reefs and shallow, protected waters.
Keep your eyes to the ocean as you may spot some small white tip Reef sharks, Turtles and Blue Spotted Rays resting in the shallow sandy waters below.
Flying at around 500ft above the Cay gives you a great close view of all the amazing wild life and lace like coral formations.
Upolu Cay is located approximately 40km north-east of Cairns, the cay is sometimes completely covered by water at high tide, re-emerging at low tide. It offers visitors the chance to see a young cay in action.
Our 30 minute helicopter flight is a great option for cruise ship passengers berthing at Yorkeys Knob or the Cairns Cruise Liner Terminal.
