Join Great Barrier Reef Scenic Flights for an unforgettable 40 minute scenic flight over the World Heritage Great Barrier Reef!
During the scenic flight we will fly over Green Island, a picturesque coral cay situated 26 kilometres northeast of Cairns, keeping an eye out for a variety of marine life below. We are often able to spot Manta Rays, large Green Turtles, Dugong, Sharks and at certain times of the year, Whales can be seen from the aircraft!
Departure: time is by arrangement to suit your day and other bookings. You will be required to make your own way to meet us at our air-conditioned Terminal at Cairns Airport.
Flight Times: Flight times are arranged after booking and to suit both your and the operator's schedules. There are multiple departures every day so flight times are based around getting the best weather for your flight. You are best to keep flexible on the day to allow us to accommodate your booking. Office hours are 6.30am till 10pm.
Great little briefing with safety addressed in a fun but serious way. After a short wait with some water/coffee/tea available we got the ok for a take off time. The plane was only a 30 meters or so walk away and within 5 mins we were up in the air. Flight took more than the 30 mins promised but includes more than 10 mins return getting to/from the actual reef. Though, that part is already very nice with beautiful sights. They always fly as low as possible legally and over some reefs it feels like you’re almost inside the water! Magical experience and highly recommended! PS: I tried to locate the company flying to match the price but they couldn’t and in the end bookme still offered the best price. Don’t wait too long/or come back to the page too frequent when booking because the price will go up! I promise you you won’t regret it.
Oh so disappointing! I was sitting on the left hand side of the plane. Unfortunately only the people on the RHS of the plane could see what the pilot was pointing out. The plane travelled south showing Cairns coastline on the RHS of the plane....then on to Green Island ...on the RHS of the plane... then over the edge of the reef....pointing out to those on the RHS of the plane what could be seen eg turtles... I was waiting for the plane to turn and go past things on the other side of the plane. It didn't happen. Coming back into Cairns from the north...guess what? The view was on the RHS of the plane again. Bitterly disappointed. Felt ripped off. Pilot didn't care. I am 155cms tall....so perhaps if I had been 180cms tall I could have seen. All passengers on RHS of plane were very satisfied with their trip. I have learnt from this disappointing experience.

Amazing Views & Experience!
What a great experience & service provided. We had overcast weather & instead of heading out into the rain, our pilot kindly held off until the weather cleared so we could have the best experience possible; would definitely do this again!
