Description
Experience the Great Barrier Reef from above and below on a half-day adventure. Snorkel in vibrant coral gardens and soar above the reef on a scenic flight.
Begin your adventure with a high-speed boat ride across the Coral Sea. Dive into the vibrant underwater worlds of Upolu Reef or Breaking Patches, exploring colorful coral gardens and tropical marine life.
Then, take to the skies for a 40-minute scenic flight. Soar over the very reef you just explored, plus Green Island and Michaelmas Cay, all glowing in dazzling shades of turquoise and emerald.
Prefer to start with the sky? Begin with your breathtaking aerial journey before returning to Cairns to board a fast vessel for your reef exploration.
With intimate group sizes — just 8 guests per flight and 27 per vessel — this tour delivers the best of both worlds: the exhilaration of a fast-paced reef safari and the awe of seeing the Great Barrier Reef from above.
