Cairns Helicopter Tour: A birds-eye view of North Queensland
Cairns Helicopter tour: experience it all on this 60-minute Helicopter Reef and Rainforest Scenic Flight.
Seeing the Great Barrier Reef and the World Heritage Rainforest is a must-do while holidaying in North Queensland.
Australia’s Great Barrier Reef is the World’s most extensive coral reef system. The Great Barrier Reef includes 900 islands and over 2900 individual reefs. While flying over the Great Barrier Reef, it’s possible to spot sharks and whales.
Along the North-East coast of Queensland is Queensland’s Wet Tropic area, a World Heritage site of about 8940 square kilometres.
Keep an eye out for the magnificent waterfalls while flying over the rainforest. Along the way, this flight flies over the quaint village of Kuranda and the Barron River. Then, have your camera ready for the 250-metre rock face of the Barron Falls, a fantastic sight during the wet season. Here, you may also see the scenic railway and the Skyrail.
From the Cairns helicopter tour, you will see some glorious sights such as Fitzroy Island, Upolo Cay, Barron Gorge and the city of Cairns.
