Overview
The ultimate experience!!! This is a spectacular return helicopter flight to the Great Barrier Reef eliminating boat travel all together. In this tour travellers feel like a VIP where they fly out from Cairns to Sunlover Cruises pontoon, spend the day on a spacious platform and at the end of the day they fly back to Cairns. The view from the helicopter will provide clients with an unique reef experience unlike any other. The reef colours from the air are so beautiful and brighter. The chance of seeing some marine life is quite big so have the camera ready for turtles, whales, sting rays ans much. Sunlover Cruises is a great reef tour option for families with small children or non-confident swimmers who may not be able to snorkel. The spacious platform offers to all guests complimentary glass bottom boat coral viewing tours, semi-submersible tours, underwater observatory and fish feeding conducted along with an informative reef talk. Also included for the day is morning tea, afternoon tea and a tropical buffet lunch with seafood, hot dishes, salads and tropical fruit. Whether clients want to get wet or stay dry, there are numerous activities available to enjoy. Or simply just relax, sit back and marvel at the serenity. At the end of the day when clients are feeling a bit tired the trip home is much faster and very exciting with a low helicopter scenic flight over the beautiful Great Barrier Reef.
