SCENIC FLIGHTS

There is another way to enjoy Tropical North Queensland and all its beauty, and it is from the air. Scenic flights provide a great opportunity to really understand the vastness of the Great Barrier Reef, the grandeur of North Queensland's National Parks and the magnificence of the many islands scattered around its waters. It's an experience not to be missed. Visit Cairns, Port Douglas, Cape Tribulation, the Daintree Rainforest, the Great Barrier Reef or Whitehaven Beach, on the Whitsundays, from the air, either on a scenic flight or on a helicopter.
