Soar over the beautiful Great Barrier Reef and feel the thrill of flying in your own private helicopter on this 30 minute flight. You'll touch down on a tiny sand cay in the middle of the reef and enjoy bubbles on the pristine sands all to yourselves. Taking off from Cairns, you'll fly above the Coral Sea, where the expanse and colours of the Great Barrier Reef can only be truly appreciated from the air. Your pilot will then drop down into your own slice of paradise - a white sandy cay in the heart of the reef. Spend some time exploring the sand cay, capturing countless amazing photos and enjoying a glass of bubbles. With nothing but bright blue waters and pristine sands as far as the eye can see, this is the perfect adventure to add to your next visit to the Great Barrier Reef.
