The Perfect Fusion of Reef and Rainforest
Experience the very best of Cairns with the Reef Rainforest Fusion Helicopter Tour, a 45-minute adventure combining two World Heritage-listed environments in one unforgettable journey. Departing from Cairns, this tour showcases the highlights of the region with unparalleled views and expert narration from your pilot guide.
From the Reef to the Rainforest
Your journey begins as the helicopter ascends over Trinity Inlet and heads toward the vibrant Great Barrier Reef. Along the way, you’ll pass Cape Grafton, Mission Bay, and the towering Mt Yarrabah. As the turquoise waters of Green Island come into view, you’ll soar over Arlington Reef, one of the largest reefs in the Marine Park, and the breathtaking Vlasoff Sand Cay.
If time allows, let your pilot know you’d like to touch down on Vlasoff Cay, where you can dip your toes in the sand, snap a perfect photo, and soak in the serenity of this stunning cay surrounded by the Reef.
Explore the Rainforest from Above
After leaving the Reef, the tour heads west, crossing the coastline over Palm Cove, Double Island, and the northern beaches. As you approach the Great Dividing Range, the lush rainforest takes centre stage. You’ll glide over the charming Kuranda rainforest village and the dramatic Barron Falls, where water plunges 850 feet into the impressive Barron Gorge.
The journey continues southward over Redlynch Valley, the cascading Crystal Cascades, and the serene waters of Lake Morris. From here, you’ll enjoy Cairns city’s panoramic views before returning to the airport.
