Scenic Flight back to Cairns over the reef

From Hastings Reef, you will board a luxury 6-seater helicopter where you will enjoy a 25-minute scenic helicopter flight over the Reef and Sand Cays back to Cairns.

Take to the air from our helicopter pontoon at Hastings Reef and enjoy a spectacular scenic flight on board a 6-seater luxury aircraft from Nautilus Aviation. Experience the sheer size and beauty of the Great Barrier Reef and truly appreciate one of the world's seven natural wonders. Sightings of manta rays, turtles and other marine life are not uncommon on the reef scenic flight and if you’re flying with us in the winter months there is even a chance of spotting whales.
