Outer Edges of The Great Barrier Reef Scenic Flight Reviews

5 Rating 38 Reviews
Quickest 40 mins of my life. Couldn’t stop staring out the window. If you're even thinking about doing it- just book it. Unreal.

Did this on our last day in Cairns and damn, what a send-off. Group of 3 of us booked it kind of last minute and lucked out with perfect weather. The pilot gave a heads-up on all the good photo spots and even circled back over a reef formation when someone on the left didn’t get a good look. Love that. No regrets, just wish I had brought a better camera.

Honestly I booked this mostly for the Instagram shots but ended up loving the whole ride way more than expected. I had the window seat (duh) and was glued to it the whole time. The blues and greens don’t look real. Only downside: wish it was longer. Felt like 40 mins just flew by (pun intended lol). But yeah, if you're in Cairns and wanna see the reef in a totally different way, def worth the splurge.

Went with my partner and we were both speechless the whole time. It’s one thing snorkeling the reef, but seeing it from above?? Wild. It felt like a nature documentary. Plane was tiny but not sketchy, and the pilot was great at making sure both sides of the plane got solid views. If you're scared of flying in small aircraft, maybe not your vibe—but if you're even a little curious, just do it. You won't regret it.

This flight was the highlight of my trip to Cairns. The reef is stunning from above, and the pilot's commentary made it even better. Don't think twice—book it

Only had a short time in Cairns, so this 40-minute flight was perfect. Got to see so much in a short time, and the photos turned out amazing. Definitely a highlight of my trip

Went with my partner, and we both had window seats- score! The plane was small but comfy, and the views were out of this world. The pilot was informative and friendly. Highly recommend

I was skeptical about dropping that much cash, but honestly, this flight was worth every cent. The views were unreal, and the commentary from the pilot added so much to the experience. If you're in Cairns, don't miss this
