Cairns Great Barrier Reef Scenic Helicopter Tour

Fly and cruise the Great Barrier Reef, one of the seven wonders of the world. You’ll take a scenic helicopter tour from Cairns over the stunning Great Barrier Reef, then cruise, snorkel and dive the reef. You’ll have unforgettable aerial views of the Great Barrier Reef’s coral and marine life, and enjoy lunch on the water.

Your scenic flight takes you to the Hastings Reef floating helicopter pad, from where you’ll be transferred to a sleek 100-foot (30-meter), high-speed vessel. After lunch, you’ll have the opportunity to go snorkeling and take a coral-viewing tour in a semi-submersible submarine.
