Inner Reef Explorer 30 minute helicopter flight

Minimum – 2 passengers

The Inner Reef Explorer 30 minute helicopter flight departs the Cairns airport and tracks out from the
mainland with views of the city of Cairns and Trinity inlet, passing
False Cape, Mt Yarrabah, Mission Bay and Cape Grafton. From there we strike
out to the inner edge of the reef starting with Green Island, a 6,000 year-old
coral sand island that boasts its own native rainforest eco-system.
Tracking to the north, we explore the western side of Arlington Reef,
home to a diverse range of marine creatures – turtles, sharks and manta
rays.

Continuing north we’ll circle Vlassoff Cay a tiny sand island in the middle of the
reef that reduces to only a few hundred square metres in size at high
tide. From Vlassoff Cay we head west, over Upolu
Cay and back to Cairns taking in fantastic views of the North Queensland
coastline framed by the lush rainforest covered eastern slopes of the
Great Dividing Range.
