45 minute Reef-Rainforest Scenic Helicopter Flight

Our most popular scenic flight combines the beauty of our 30-minute reef scenic with a bird's eye view of the oldest continually surviving tropical rainforest on earth.

Commencing over the reef, we cross back over the coast near Double Island and the resort township of Palm Cove before ascending the coastal rainforest-clad mountains into the heart of the Barron Gorge National Park.

Emerging from the canopy below, you will see the Barron River and the quaint rainforest village of Kuranda. Keep an eye out for the tracks of the historical Kuranda Scenic Rail and the gondolas of the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway. From the top of the gorge, we descend over the 250m rock face of the mighty Barron Falls, which, while impressive year round, provides an awe-inspiring photo opportunity after heavy green-season rain (Dec-Apr).

We follow the Barron River for the next 5km as it snakes its way back down the gorge towards the ocean, providing hydroelectricity to the city of Cairns and thrills for rafters riding on its rapids.
