The main difference between taking a scenic flight with a helicopter instead of the plane, is that the helicopter can hover and provide longer lasting views than a plane can. As well as this the windows on the helicopter tend to be bigger and provides more space to look around.
The Helicopter will fly over the Great Barrier Reef providing extraordinary views before landing on a private sand cay name Vlascoff. This means that when you land you will be the only people on it. Furthermore due to the waves and the current every minute the sand cay is changing shape and size therefore you will be the only people to have set foot on the cay as it is in that moment!
Whales are definitely visible from the scenic flight. They are most active around from May through to September.
The minimum amount of people to book the flight is 2 however the maximum is 4. This ensures that everyone on the flight will have the best experience and great views of the reef.
After your flight you will land on the sand beach for 30 minutes in which you are given complimentary champagne and freedom to walk around to increase your immersion.
Yes! You are allowed to take pictures whilst on the scenic flight whether it be your phone or a camera. They do ask not to place your phone directly on the glass however as the window is an expensive material that tends not to fog up.
Usually the Helicopter is a 2 passenger minimum. However, don’t worry if you’re here solo. If you contact us directly sometimes we have availability for individuals to join pre-existing flights.

Amazing service and highly recommended! If you are planning a snorkeling trip to the Great Barrier Reef, this is definitely the place to go. The advice was incredibly detailed, taking the time to explain which reefs and spots offer the absolute best chances to see an abundance of marine life and vibrant corals. What stood out the most was the complete transparency. No hidden fees, honest feedback on the different boats and tours, and clear expectations about what to anticipate. You can really tell that their main goal is to help you find the best possible experience, rather than just making a sale. Looking forward to the tour! Thank you for the fantastic recommendation.Posted on Google![]()

Shout out to Max for his guidance! He listened to my requirements and helped me figure out what I really wanted, and he explained the options in depth. With his help, I was able to have a fun day combining a flight over the reef with an excursion to Fitzroy island. All bookings went smooth. Great service!Posted on Google![]()
