This 60-minute reef scenic helicopter flight is also known as the "pilots favourite". It takes in all the sights from every single one of our shorter duration flights and delivers them in a package that cannot be matched. Sweeping city views, rolling lush rainforest, tableland scenery, waterfalls, islands, reef and sand cays - this flight packs it all in.

Combine the best of our two World Heritage Listed environments in a single experience. Book the Reef Rainforest Duo helicopter flight and enjoy the ultimate highlight reel! The flight starts by climbing 2500 feet heading to Lake Morris, revealing spectacular views of Cairns City and the surrounding area. Tracking north we pass over Stoney Creek and then into the spectacular Barron Gorge leading up to the Barron falls – a cascading 850ft waterfall. We pass over the rainforest village of Kuranda before tracking out to sea where we meet the reef 20 miles off shore. Starting with Upolo reef we then head to Vlasoff reef with its impressive sand cay below. We then track over to Arlington Reef, one of the largest reefs in the Marine Park, and then across to Green Island before heading back to Cairns.
Make own way: No transfer included - make own way to Zoom Helicopters base at 21 Bush Pilots Avenue, General Aviation, Cairns Airport.

Would highly recommend, tour provider was fantastic. Very kind and had great communication. They gave a safety briefing prior to getting on board (which has never happened on the other 4 tours I've taken before).
