Description

Buckle up for a 40 minute scenic flight straight out of Cairns, with pick up and drop off to keep things cruisy. Soar above the iconic Great Barrier Reef and Green Island in a purpose-built, air-conditioned aircraft, with big windows just for you, no fighting for a view here, mate.

Your local crew will point out legendary coral reefs, unspoiled islands, sandy coral cays and, if you're lucky, you might spot a gentle turtle or even a giant manta ray gliding below. Certain times of year, there's a good chance of spotting whales as you cruise overhead. Every flight is a front-row seat to this natural wonder, stretching over 2,300 kilometres along Queensland's coast.

Kick back, relax, and let the reef surprise you, over 1,500 species of fish, 360 types of hard coral and swirling blue water as far as you can see. Flying with Australia's longest running reef flight company means you're in safe hands, with stories, local insights and a healthy sense of adventure thrown in.

Just check in 15-30 minutes before takeoff, and get set to swap the city for endless blue. No shoes required; just bring your sense of wonder.
