Get a whole new perspective on paradise with a scenic flight over the Great Barrier Reef. Zoom across coral cays, turquoise lagoons, and jungle-draped coastlines in a high-speed helicopter or small scenic plane. Whether it’s 10 minutes or a full hour, seeing the reef from above is an unforgettable experience — and a must for your Cairns bucket list. Choose from short helicopter joyrides, fly-cruise-fly reef combos, or private charters for couples, proposals, or birthdays. Some tours even land on sand cays or pair with reef snorkelling.
