Capture the dreamscape of the Great Barrier Reef during a 30 minute helicopter flight from Cairns. Admire the countless shades of blue and green, see icons like Green Island, Arlington Reef and Vlasoff Cay and spot marine animals in their native habitats as you fly.
Incomparable to anywhere else in the world, the full spectacle of the Great Barrier Reef can only be truly appreciated from the air. Hop on a half hour helicopter flight departing from Cairns and see what the full is all about. Your pilot will take you over a sensational colour palette of green and blue and over some of its most scenic sights like Green Island, Arlington Reef, Vlasoff Cay and Upolu Cay. Keep your eyes peeled for manta rays, turtles and other marine animals lingering in the reef below as you fly above.
