Australia · HELICOPTER TOURS IN CAIRNS
Itineraries always run a day short. These 7 helicopter tours in Cairns are worth the slot they take, priced and timed so the decision takes minutes rather than an evening.
Cairns full-day Outer Great Barrier Reef cruise on Evolution, with 2 reef swims and an included 10-minute helicopter flight.
“Nothing can be improved everything is excellent and worth every penny”
Great Barrier Reef by super-yacht plus a 10-minute helicopter flight from Cairns, with BBQ lunch, snorkeling, and optional scuba.
“A friendly, meticulous staff guide you through a perfectly paced day of relaxation and recreation out to and around the Great Barrier Reef. They have so many different options for comfort, ability and interest level that leaves no one behind and excluded from the fun. DEFINITELY do the helicopter option if possible — it’s a highlight of our entire trip to Australia.”
See Cairns rainforest, Barron Gorge waterfalls, and the UNESCO Great Barrier Reef on a 45-minute helicopter. Small group, onboard commentary.
“Belle aventure en hélicoptère, la vue est impressionnante, malheureusement nous n'avions pas un très beau temps mais cela n'a pas gaché notre plaisir malgré tout. 45 minutes de pur bonheur. En plus vous êtes seuls (nous deux) dans l'hélicoptère prevu au maximum pour 3 personnes.”
A 30-minute helicopter flight over the Great Barrier Reef from Cairns, with views of Green Island, Arlington Reef, and marine wildlife spotting.
“Seeing The Reef from above in these new helicopters just made seeing them underwater, even BETTER! *Do yourself a favour & treat yourself to this trip! It was fantastic!”
A 30-minute helicopter flight over the Great Barrier Reef from Cairns, with live narration, small group seats, and stunning aerial photo views.
“Excellent bird’s eye view of the reef! It was a clear day so visibility was terrific and well worth it.”
Cairns Great Barrier Reef day trip with snorkel from the Outer Reef platform, a semi-submarine tour, and a 10-minute helicopter flight.
“All crew members were very nice and polite. For the time you will spend on platform is enough of activities to enjoy your day. Flight is definitely one of the best parts (if not the best). On the boat they have tablets for motion sickness.”
Full-day Great Barrier Reef trip from Cairns with a 10-minute helicopter ride, snorkeling at Moore Reef, glass-bottom views, and Fitzroy Island lunch.
“Overall an enjoyable day out despite the weather being a little dismal. Buffet lunch was nice. A little disappointed that the helicopter wasn’t a nautilus or zoom chopper as depicted in the images. Was also quite squishy with 3 in the back.”
