FAQs About Great Barrier Reef Helicopter + Beach landing

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.

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!

Traveled to Cairns and took a day trip to Palm Cove where Charlotte helped create the best experience! I highly recommend working with her for any travel or vacation services.

So happy with the service and help I received from these guys, huge shout out to Tony ( absolute legend ) for helping me with all my questions and two bookings- fishing charter and 2 intro dives + snorkel with Divers den. I did a whale watching tour in Sydney, and then came here and while heading to the reef for the dive, we got to see a humpback whale breach the water at least a dozen times ! The first breach from this whale in cairns, would have beaten the whole tour in Sydney and it was an entire seperate experience as well (dive). Absolutely 1000% recommend these guys and any of their recommendations and advice when planning your trip and activities in cairns.
