Handy Zoom tips
Plan to fly early in your holiday window - that way the remainder of your stay will be put into perspective. A helicopter flight is the perfect way to truly understand the scale and dynamics of the landscape and experiences up here.
The weather in the tropics can change quickly, so being flexible with dates and times will help guarantee the best possible Great Barrier Reef or World Heritage Rainforest scenic flight.
The best way to get great personlised service is to book with us direct. Our Agents do a fabulous job but you really can't beat talking to Zoom pilots about any specific needs you may have or that 'something special' surprise for a loved one. We're here to make your flight perfect, so pick up the phone and call us...
Many of our Customers take the time to post reviews and share photos of their Zoom experience - something we truly appreciate. We take great pride in our attention to details and ensuring everything is perfect as can be. You may have read some of these reviews and decided to fly Zoom, so if you have the time we'd appeciate your comments too!
You're probably wondering
Great question - there's a few key things that really assist us with this.
1. Book direct with us - that way we can discuss your needs prior to flying in person.
2. Provide us your best/accessible contact details/phone number - so we can update you on weather etc. if the need arises.
3. Be flexible with dates and times - if the weather is perfect the day after your booking, we can re-schedule to get picture perfect conditions for you.
4. Trust us - we've been flying happy customers for years and if we suggest something it's based on our experience and delivering the best flight possible.
Not necessarily - it depends on other bookings, time of year and even the weather. Of course, you can fly privately with our 'private tours' flights listed here. Alternatively, we offer a 'exclusive' upgrade on all flights at $100pp - worth every cent if you want an exclusive Great Barrier Reef experience.
Most of the time - yes. Busy periods and larger group bookings means someone might have a rear middle-seat. We're here to make sure your 100% happy so we can discuss arrangements prior to lift-off. Our customers all seem to smile no matter where they sit, so happy days...
We offer great in-flight commentary and look out for any special features on your flight - but keep your eyes keen for marine life so we can zoom in for a closer look.
Talk to us - we're here to listen to your needs. We know the Great Barrier Reef very well, that's how we'd like to assist you to, so best contacts please.
Helicopters are very safe, stable and comfortable. We've even had some customers that were scared of any type of flying - only to realise that unlike a fixed wing aircraft we don't need any speed or bumpy runway to get aloft. Think of it as pushing the 'up' button in a lift. There's also another cool technique to ease any nerves called the 'open palm technique'. Simply place your hands in your lap palms-up - it's almost 100% guaranteed to lower any anxiety you may have.
