Cairns 45 or 60 Minute Helicopter Scenic Flights | NT
What better way to experience the natural beauty of Tropical North Queensland than to take a scenic flight over and alongside of it in a helicopter.
Departing from Cairns during your 60 minute scenic helicopter flight you will see the Barron Gorge and Stoney Creek Falls, Kuranda Rainforest, Palm Cove and the beaches.
Then we fly over the ocean and head towards Vlassoff and Upolu Sand Cay, Green Island and head back towards the beautiful city of Cairns which is surrounded by lush green mountains.
This is truly absolute perfection. The Barron Gorge features beautiful rugged peaks, steep gorges, tumbling waterfalls with lush rainforest and a variety of wildlife.
The Barron Gorge has a colourful history and a range of recreational opportunities that make this one of Queensland’s most popular national parks.
Stoney Creek Falls is one of the beautiful tumbling waterfalls you will see when flying over the Barron Gorge. The falls are formed where Stoney Creek starts to descend in steps from the shoulders of the Gorge.
The falls are best known for the curved lattice railway bridge that passes in front of them. The history of Kuranda is only surpassed by the wonderful natural beauty in which the village thrives.
You then start to make your way back to Cairns, to fly over Palm Cove and the other beautiful beaches we have on our coastline.
Palm Cove is well known for its wide arrange of restaurants lining the streets with ocean views. However, is best known for its beautiful tropical palm trees long white sandy beach and views of Double Island.
Palm Cove is the tourist hub of all the beaches surrounding Cairns. From here our helicopter scenic flight heads out toward the Great Barrier Reef to see pristine Vlassoff and Upolu Sand Cay and Green Island before heading back towards the beautiful city of Cairns.
Vlassoff Sand Cay and Upolu Sand Cay is a naturally formed, un-vegetated sand cay, surrounded by fringing coral reefs and shallow, protected waters.
You may spot some small white tip Reef sharks, Turtles and Blue Spotted Rays resting in the sand. Flying at around 500ft above the Cay gives you a great close view of all the amazing wild life and 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.
Green Island is 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.
