Great Barrier Reef Discovery Scenic Helicopter Flight from Port Douglas
Enjoy an amazing bird's eye view of the largest living structure in the world as your helicopter soars over the unbeatable scenery of the Great Barrier Reef.
Made up of over 2600 separate reefs, the Great Barrier Reef lies over 30km out to sea and stretches 2000km along the Queensland coast making it the largest reef system in the world.
This flight offers a mesmerising glimpse into the enchanting world of the Great Barrier Reef. Witness the breathtaking azure and emerald tones of the unspoiled coral sea waters, along with their thriving coral gardens, which host the most abundant concentration of life found anywhere on our planet.
Taking off from Port Douglas and gliding over 4 Mile Beach, this journey also treats you to spectacular views of Snapper Island, Cape Tribulation, and the distant Daintree Rainforest.
Your eyes will be treated to a picturesque panorama of Low Isles, a duo of coral cay islands, encompassing 55 acres of fringing reef and a renowned lighthouse. As you soar at a lower altitude over Batt Reef, be on the lookout for stingrays, manta rays, turtles, sharks, dugongs (often found at Batt Reef), dolphins, and even winter-time whales. Remember to have your camera at the ready, as these moments are too precious to miss capturing!
