Overview

Get an aerial view of Queensland’s forested landscape and colourful live coral cays and as you glide over the Coral Sea. Leaving Port Douglas, fly over a scenic coastline dotted with villages that skirt lush tropical forests. The Great Barrier Reef will now spin its magic around you as you fly over dreamy coral cays and white sand beaches. This magical 2000 km stretch of marine sanctuary displays every colour, shape and form you can ever imagine!

Soar over the rugged, remote World Heritage tropical rainforests, seeing the vast expanse of untouched rainforest canopy.

If you are short on time or are an avid photographer then this is a great way to see the Great Barrier Reef and Wet Tropics/World Heritage areas in one go without getting your feet wet or your legs tired from trekking around.
