What to expect
Flying past the northern side, we will receive great panoramic views of Fitzroy Island and little Fitzroy Island. In the distance we will see the many other islands littered along the coast.
Yarrabah
We will fly right past the World War II fortifications at False Cape. Coming over Cape Graften we will take in some fantastic views of Turtle Beach.
Sudbury Cay
Sudbury Cay lays at the very western tip of the vast Sudbury Reef. This Cay is known for its diverse bird wildlife.
Elford Reef
We will get a great view of all the small individual reefs that make up Elford Reef while we track along. The reef edges drop to the ocean floor almost vertically.
Moore Reef
Moore Reef is the most popular outer reef for snorkeling and diving. We will fly right past the many large fixed pontoons that are permanently located there.
Arlington Reef
Arlington Reef is a beautifully U shaped reef, connecting both the inner and outer reef. From 2000ft-3000ft altitude it gives a great perspective of the size of the cluster of reefs located outside Cairns.
Vlasoff Cay
Vlasoff Cay is just one out of 300 sand cays located throughout the reef. Depending on tides and flight conditions, we might be able to make a quick touch-down on this magical island.
Green Island is home to the Green Island resort and is surrounded by a stunning inner reef. Orbiting at 1000ft it will also give a great perspective of the rugged coastline.
Upolu Reef
Upolu Reef is a smaller, more intimate and very symmetrical inner reef. It always serves as a fantastic end note of our reef adventure before returning to Cairns.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
