Flights depart from the Cairns General Aviation Airport (Hangar 10, Tom McDonald Drive), located just a quick 10-minute taxi, rideshare, or local bus ride from central Cairns hostels.
Thanks to the crystal-clear waters and low flight altitude, passengers frequently spot green sea turtles, manta rays, dugongs, large reef sharks, and migrating Humpback Whales (during winter months)!
Absolutely! Scenic flights are one of the most cost-effective ways to see the full scope of the Great Barrier Reef in a short timeframe, and solo travelers are easily accommodated on board.
Bring your camera or fully charged phone, sunglasses (to cut water glare for photos), and comfortable casual clothes. Keep your baggage light as cabin storage space is limited!
Safety and visibility are top priorities. If your flight is canceled due to severe weather or poor visibility, Summer Travel will help you rebook for a better slot or issue a full refund!
