Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

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.

Duration: 1 hour

After areiving at Cairns on a Cruise ship in thw morning and with a connecting flight that afternoon, time was very limited - this was a great way to see the magnificent Barrier Reef. The Pilot was extremely skilled, knowledgeable and engaging with the guests to deliver a memorable and thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Incredible experience. The views of the reefs are amazing, and we flew a lot closer/lower than I was expecting, which is a bonus. Couldn’t recommend more.
