See the Great Barrier Reef from above on this 40-minute scenic flight from Cairns.

Every passenger has a guaranteed window seat, and your pilot gives commentary in English during the flight. The route soars over Green Island, Arlington Reef, Upolu Reef, Double Island and more. Courtesy bus transfers to and from Cairns city are included, and flights depart from Royal Flying Doctor Street in Cairns, where you check in 30 minutes before your time slot. The whole experience takes about one hour. Flights are operated by GSL Aviation and are subject to the pilot's discretion, the weather, air traffic control and aircraft availability.
