Stop At: Daintree Air Services, Terminal 1, Tom McDonald Drive Cairns Airport, Aeroglen, Cairns, Queensland 4870 Australia

Daintree Air have been showing clients the very best of the Great Barrier Reef for over 35 years. We know the best places to view from the air, snorkel from the surface and or dive from below the surface. It has taken us half a life time to learn just a little about the Great Barrier Reef. Let us pass this knowledge and information onto you. 

The experienced team will advise you on the optimum time for viewing and photographing the the magnificent aqua blue and opal like colors of the Great Barrier Reef. Flights organised between 9:30am and 2:30pm will always be premium times to fly due to the sun being at the best angle overhead the reef.

The route flown will usually take in Green Island, Upolu Cay, Oyster, Arlington, Vlassof and Michaelmas Reefs as well as views of Cape Grafton, False Cape, Double Island and the Northern Beaches of Cairns including Palm Cove.

The crew was wonderful!! The experience was great!! Unfortunately, an overcast day, but that didn’t stop most of the snorkelers from jumping in the water. It was warm water and a bit rough. The water was murky. If I were 20-30 years younger (79), I think I would have enjoyed it more. Book on a sunny day.

Just wanted to say thank you for such a lovely experience with Daintree air services 😊 The scenic flight was absolutely beautiful and a big thank you to our pilot Joey who was informative and funny. My mum usually gets motion sickness but she found the flight, take off/landing very smooth thanks to our skilful pilot. Will definitely be recommending to my friends who visit Cairns. A memorable way to experience the stunning views of the reef 😊

The best views of the Great Barrier Reef. Both sides of the plane get to see each part of the reefs. Water is insane and even got to see a shark on our flight.

The team were amazing to us. There was some rain out on the reef which meant a delay/uncertainty in our scenic flight happening. They us informed and even advised they rescheduled the flight after us to give us every hope of getting out to see the reef. When the weather behaved they acted quick to brief us on safety and get us out and in the helicopter. The views were incredible and our pilot was very assuring for any lil bumps we encountered due to some rain. It was magical to see the reef up high. Afterwards, they even dropped me to the commercial airport so I could make my flight out of Cairns.
