The Grand Tour

SCENIC HELICOPTER TOUR

The Ultimate Reef and Rainforest adventure. This spectacular flight highlights both World Heritage areas unique beauty in a way that can only be experienced with the freedom of a private helicopter. This tailored tour is truly a bucket-list tick. After lifting, we head out toward Cape Grafton, Mission Bay, False Cape and Mt Yarrabah. Green Island is revealed to our left as we continue our journey south past Fitzroy Island heading to Sudbury Reef. Turning north, views of the Outer Reef are exposed with Moore Reef drifting below as we fly further north across Arlington Reef, one of the largest reefs in the Marine Park and on to stunning Vlasoff sand cay and Upolu Cay. 

Crossing the coast you’ll have panoramic views over the northern beaches, Palm Cove and Double Island. Your helicopter flies on to beautiful Lake Morris, passing over Copperlode Dam we’ll track along the range and down over Crystal Cascades. Barron Falls and nearby Kuranda rainforest village are highlights as your Grand Tour turns east for the coast and descend with panoramic views over Cairns city and out to the Reef on the return leg.
