Cairns - Port Douglas Helicopter Rides

There are many options for taking a Scenic Helicopter Flights Flight during your stay. Why not fly out to gorgeous Green Island and spend the day out there surrounded by lush rainforest and beautiful blue ocean. Or perhaps a flight to the Cairns Great Barrier Reef, where the contrasts between the coral and ocean will leave you speechless.

See the vastness of the Cairns Great Barrier Reef before you get into the water to snorkel. There is plenty of marine life visible from this bird’s eye view perspective including small reef sharks, manta rays, dolphins, schools of fish, and plenty of birds.

Alternatively from either Cairns and Port Douglas take a scenic helicopter ride up and over the spectacular rainforest to see cascading waterfalls and then head out to the Barrier Reef to spend the day on a pontoon then cruise back to Cairns or Port Douglas in style aboard a luxurious catamaran to get the full Great Barrier Reef experience.

Cairns Helicopter Scenic Flights are the perfect treat for families wanting to get that little bit extra out of their holiday. These are just a few of our suggested itineraries for you to choose from.

Enjoy a twenty minute helicopter scenic flight over Port Douglas and then enjoying a delicious breakfast with the birds at Rainforest Habitat in Port Douglas where you can wander around and visit native animals and have photographs taken with Koalas and Crocodiles.

You could fly over the ranges to a traditional Australian billabong or river to swim in the pristine clear mountain waters and enjoy a private breakfast in the middle of the Australian outback for a few precious hours.

Take a scenic flight over a cattle station and then land and go for a horseback ride around the beautiful lush country side.

Cairns and Port Douglas helicopter companies have plenty to offer tourists and finding a scenic helicopter flight to suit your itinerary and budget is incredibly easy.

Flights vary in length anywhere from 10 minutes from either the Reef Fleet Heli Port Terminal in Cairns or the Port Douglas base or off one of the Outer Barrier Reef pontoons to several hours hopping on and off exploring different areas of the the Great Barrier Reef, Daintree Cape Tribulation or the Australian Outback.

If it's a romantic, intimate flight you are after then why not fly out to a secluded coral sand cay and spend the morning or afternoon sipping Australian sparkling wine and eating delicious cheeses, enjoying a leisurely breakfast, lunch or afternoon tea and snorkelling off the edge of your own private island in the middle of the Great Barrier Reef.

If you are short on time you could combine a scenic Barrier Reef and rainforest flight with a Kuranda Scenic Train and Skyrail cable car ride to Kuranda Village.

Perhaps even a more personalized helicopter touring itinerary option is what you are looking for. All helicopter tour companies will tailor an excursion perfectly suited to your holiday requirements.

These once in a lifetime scenic flights include but are not limited to indulgent spa treatments in the middle of the Daintree Rainforest after soaring over the ocean and over cascading waterfalls, or maybe even a quick trip up to Cooktown to spend the day exploring the historic trails of Captain Cook and visiting ancient rock art painting sites and speaking with local Aboriginal tribesmen.

Combine a scenic rainforest, waterfall helicopter flight above the Tablelands before spending the afternoon experiencing the thrill of white water rafting down raging rivers. The possibilities seem just about endless when a scenic helicopter flight is involved. Exploring the Daintree rainforest has never been so easy or beautiful.

Fly into the heart of the oldest rainforest in the world and with your professional guide narrating throughout the flight, you won't miss a single thing.

Keep an eye out for crocodiles sunning themselves on the banks of the many estuaries and rivers you will see from the air.

Cape Tribulation is one of the most sought after destinations. With the reef and the rainforest meeting on the pristine white beach it's no wonder why this is such a popular spot.

There are helicopter transfer flights available from Cairns airport to several Cape Tribulation resorts and Island resort destinations north and South of Cairns and Port Douglas.

In addition to these entire one of a kind destinations, the Outback is also on offer. Choose between heading into the Australian backcountry and sunning yourself on the rocks at a private creek or take a scenic trip to Undara and explore the magnificent Lava tubes.

Feast your eyes on all the estuaries, inland rivers, mountains, valleys, gorges, waterfalls and bush country.

Alternatively, soar up to the Tablelands and take in the unique views of this treasured area, including wildlife, coffee plantations, and banana and mango farms. There is almost an infinite number of custom experiences to choose from so go on and create your own dream scenic flight and then watch it come to life right before your eyes!

Cairns Scenic Helicopter Flights are more than just a flight – they are an entire experience! They are ideal for celebrations, special events, or just taking that once in a lifetime opportunity to see the world from a truly unique perspective.

Take your holiday in Cairns to the next level and build your perfect day around a scenic helicopter flight!

There is no better way to take in the full majesty of Australia's Great Barrier Reef than by a scenic helicopter flight. Gliding only 500 feet above the water you will see the beauty that surrounds you with a 360 degree view from the Perspex windows.

You can charter a private helicopter for a full day of bespoke touring or you can take off for a half day fly and cruise and not only enjoy the vista from the helicopter but you also get to see the reef from under the water and go snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef for the afternoon and then cruise back to Cairns by boat.

If it is romance that you have in mind for someone special then a Helicopter Fantasy Flight just may be the perfect way to sweep a loved one of their feet. Ascend to the skies in your private helicopter for two and land on a secluded sand cay in the middle of the Great Barrier Reef.

Pure white silica sand, aqua blue ocean and colourful coral gardens teeming with marine life are yours to enjoy together for the next two hours along with a gourmet picnic hamper complete with sparkling wine.

If you are visiting Australia's Great Barrier Reef for the first and possibly the last time then a helicopter flight over the reef is a must do along with spending the day snorkelling and scuba diving the reef.

Flying over the Great Barrier Reef is listed as one of the most spectacular scenic flights in the world! Just ask Buzz Aldrin, one of Americas Apollo 11 astronauts who photographed it from his international space station shuttle.
