Kick off your tropical quest from Cairns with a heart-pounding helicopter flight to the reef, with plenty of leisure time for exploring, ending the day with a smooth cruise back to shore. Step into the helicopter and lift off high into the sky. The crystal-clear waters are your beautiful invitation to a memorable day on the outer Great Barrier Reef. Watch the mosaic of corals and sea creatures glide below you. A flight over the reef system is the most exciting way to soak in the beauty of this natural wonder. Once you safely land on the floating pontoon, it's time to dive right into the action. Whether you prefer to snorkel, swim or watch the fish from a safe distance, you can experience the liveliness of the reef first-hand and in safe conditions.

Splash into the ocean pool or rocket down the waterslide, while anyone who prefers to chill can use the upper deck to soak in the golden rays. Join a boat tour or visit the observatory and feel the thrill of being close to these incredible animals. The buffet is bursting with island flavours and framed by a striking ocean panorama. To end your electrifying time, go on board the return cruise and comfortably sail back to shore, looking out over the stunning reef one last time. This remarkable experience with helicopter flight, reef time and return cruise, offers impressive moments from sky to sea and is a must-do in any Cairns itinerary.
