Ultimate Great Barrier Reef and Rainforest 45-minute Helicopter Tour
lammylammy, Jul 2026
Stunning landscapes from sea to land. Worth every penny!
An absolutely magical experience from start to finish! The entire process was seamless, easy, and well-organized. Easy to find location next to the Marina.​The views were breathtaking—flying over the vibrant colors of the Great Barrier Reef and then over the lush rainforest of Kuranda was incredible. Getting to see and hear the explanation of the surrounding islands and endless green canopy from above gave us a whole new perspective of the region. The scenery is truly unbelievable.​If you're thinking about booking this tour, don't hesitate! It was unforgettable and worth every second.The pilot was incredibly knowledgeable and great flying smooth skills.

Quicksilver Pontoon and 10 Minute Scenic Helicopter Flight
Gina_S, Jun 2026
Wonderful snorkeling experience
Once in a life time experience!! We had some wind and the boast ride was a bit rocky bit it didn’t impact our activities. We were able to do 10 min helicopter ride, eat nice lunch, ride 20 min submarine ride and snorkeled for about an hour without feeling rushed. So glad that we went with this tour.

Brilliance of the Great Barrier Reef from the Sky - Genuinely incredible
Flying with Nautilus Aviation out to Agincourt Reef was the most incredible experience we have ever had. The beauty you experience from the sky is phenomenal. Mark is a superb pilot as are the front of house Nautilus ladies. They all went far and beyond to ensure we had the most fantastic day. We were so fortunate to spot a Minke Whale, multiple Sharks, many Turtles and a phenomenally large Manta Ray. Mark provided excellent commentary pointing out all the gorgeous local landmarks and ensured we felt safe at all times. We opted for the Fly In / Fly Out to Quicksilver Pontoon as I get seasick - thus can highly recommend this option to others who may want to avoid the 90min boat ride out to the Reef. Do not hesitate in booking with Nautilus. They are a top tier establishment, and you will have magnificent memories for a lifetime. We are still buzzing!! Thank you, Team!

Amazing trip to get an aerial overview of how great the Great Barrier Reef is!
The office staff was very helpful in doing the safety briefing and explaining what would be happening. They seemed as excited as we were to be doing this tour.Mark, our pilot was very good at finding sea life from the air and pointing it out, even circling so we could see what he was showing to all in the helicopter.I know nothing is guaranteed, but we saw a tiger shark, a lemon shark, manta rays, turtles as well as the elusive dugong! What an amazing experience!Even without the wildlife Mark pointed out to us, the reef is absolutely awesome.

The pilot and accompanying staff introduced a lot of interesting knowledge and geographical information during the flight. They were friendly, humorous, and professional, which gave me a perfect experience. Everyone was also able to participate in the activities and inspections, making the whole tour even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

5 star customer service
At the 11th hour (5pm Fri), I called Zoom to book a 60th Wedding Anniversary surprise flight for my 85 yr old father, a gift from my Mum. Hayley answered the call in more ways than one in helping to organise a voucher to present to him at their celebration for the next morning. My father was very, very surprised and looks forward to his flight which he will do in September, a perfect time of year in Cairns. Hayley's friendly and professional customer service was 2nd to none and I cannot rate her enough. Thankyou again, we cannot wait for him to experience his first helicopter flight with Zoom.
