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.
EXCELLENT Based on 422 reviews Posted on Anousack ThepphommaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I wasn’t sure what to do in Cairns, so I visited their office. Eleanor at the counter was very helpful and gave me great advice on which tours suited me. I booked two tours—Kuranda went smoothly and I had an amazing time. The Fitzroy Island tour was cancelled due to technical issues, but Kirk (who seemed like a manager) called me, resolved everything quickly, and arranged a similar tour for me instead. Overall, I had a great experience and really enjoyed my time in Cairns. If you’re visiting, definitely stop by their office—you won’t regret it.Posted on Sven RudolphTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were fortunate enough to be advised by Bailey. He helped us choose the best day in terms of weather and calmly described and recommended various snorkelling tours to us. The tour we ended up booking was fantastic, as was the weather. For this reason, we were very happy with the advice and would definitely come back again.Posted on G EATrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Great Service, handsome ladPosted on Shannon El HanbliTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My family and I were visiting Cairns for a week only and wanted to have a memorable visit of the Great Barrier Reef. We were welcomed by Eleonore Fabre - she gave us outstanding service. She recommended the Moore Reef plan and we could not have had a better day. My kids (and I 🤭) loved the slide that led right into the ocean off the pontoon. Would highly recommend to stop by and see Éléonore at the Cairns branch!Posted on Mack BurgessTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
