The 40-minute scenic flight will offer a perspective of the reef like no other. Taking off from just outside Cairns CBD, it’s the fastest and most spectacular way to see the Great Barrier Reef, without having to get wet. You can expect to fly out over magical Green Island on your way to the reef. Your pilot will execute low flying passes so you can look out for reef sharks, turtles, beautiful corals, and more. With a guaranteed window seat and multiple passes of each location, you won’t be leaning over your friend, family, or stranger to get your next Insta pic.
This 40 minute flight will fill your camera full of photos and your mind full of memories. It’s great value for money and we think it’s a must do on any holiday to Far North Queensland. Just don’t forget to charge up your camera beforehand.
