Reef Rainforest Duo

SCENIC HELICOPTER FLIGHT

The best of two World Heritage listed icons - side by side. Combine the best of our two World Heritage Listed environments in a single experience. Book the Reef and Rainforest Cairns helicopter tour and enjoy the ultimate highlight reel! Tracking out toward Green Island we pass Cape Grafton, Mission Bay, False Cape and Mt Yarrabah. Passing Green Island, we continue our journey to the north across Arlington Reef, one of the largest reefs in the Marine Park and on to stunning Vlasoff sand cay. Book on the day or let your pilot know during your scenic flight if you’d like to land, get your feet wet and sandy and capture the ultimate Instagram shot out in the middle of the Reef.

Departing Vlasoff Cay we’ll track over Upolu Cay and head west. Crossing the coast you’ll have panoramic views over the northern beaches, Palm Cove and Double Island as we soar over the Great Dividing Range to the rainforest village of Kuranda and the amazing Barron falls cascading 850 feet down into the Barron Gorge below. From there we’ll track to the south on passing the Redlynch Valley, Crystal Cascades and finally descending over Lake Morris with views over Cairns City from 2,000 feet as we make our way back to the airport.
