Take your Great Barrier Reef experience to the next level with the Outer Reef Odyssey helicopter flight, one of the most spectacular ways to witness the world’s largest coral reef system.
Departing from Cairns’ Aeroglen heliport, the 40-minute scenic helicopter adventure flies far beyond the inner reef and out to the outer edge of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. From the moment the helicopter lifts off, the views are nothing short of breathtaking.
You’ll soar above turquoise lagoons, coral gardens, and famous reef formations, including Green Island, Arlington Reef, Vlassoff Sand Cay, and Michaelmas Reef. As the flight continues further east toward the edge of the Australian continental shelf, the reef drops dramatically into deep ocean waters more than 1,000 feet below, creating striking contrasts of colour and texture visible only from the air.
Your experienced local pilot will provide fascinating commentary about the reef’s history, marine life, and unique geography, making the outer reef odyssey helicopter flight not just a scenic ride but a deeper look into one of the planet’s most extraordinary ecosystems.
The Outer Reef Odyssey helicopter flight is one of the best ways to experience the vast scale of the Great Barrier Reef. From Arlington Reef to Vlassoff Sand Cay, this scenic helicopter tour reveals the reef’s colours, patterns and incredible marine environment from a perspective only possible from the air.
