Zoom Helicopters in Cairns, QLD, offers an unforgettable 30-minute scenic helicopter flight in Australia that takes you over the breathtaking natural beauty of the region. With a minimum of two passengers, this tour provides a unique perspective of the North Queensland coastline, framed by the lush rainforest-covered eastern slopes of the Great Dividing Range.

Departing from the Cairns airport, you''ll track out from the mainland, passing False Cape, where you can still see the remnants of WWII defenses. You''ll then soar over Mt Yarrabah, Mission Bay, and Cape Grafton before heading towards the Great Barrier Reef.

As you reach the inner edge of the Reef, you''ll see Green Island, a 6,000-year-old coral sand island with its native rainforest eco-system. From there, you''ll explore the western side of Arlington Reef, home to a diverse range of marine creatures such as turtles, sharks, and manta rays.

The tour then takes you to Vlassoff Cay, a tiny sand island in the middle of the Reef, where you can get your feet wet and sandy and capture the ultimate Instagram shot. From there, you''ll head west over Upolu Cay before returning to Cairns with fantastic views of the North Queensland coastline.
