Private Helicopter Tour: Reef Island Snorkeling and Gourmet Picnic Lunch

• Spend a memorable morning discovering the beauty of the Great Barrier Reef, one of Australia's most renowned natural wonders. After pickup at your hotel in Cairns or the Northern Beaches, transfer to the heliport at Cairns Airport to board your state-of-the-art helicopter. Your expert pilot provides a short safety briefing and radio headset that allows 2-way communications during your flight over the Great Barrier Reef. Marvel at the extent of the reef during your 25-minute scenic flight, and enjoy fantastic photo ops of the reef, the coastline and the islands of Far North Queensland. When your pilot touches down at the remote island of Vlasoff Cay (if the beach is occupied you will instead visit Turtle Beach), disembark and have two hours to soak up the scenery of this tropical wonderland. Your pilot provides you with the picnic blanket, beach chairs, umbrella and snorkeling gear, in addition to a picnic basket that contains champagne and tasty appetizers to nibble during your island retreat. Feel free to do as much or as little as you like on the island. Snack on your gourmet picnic and sip champagne, snorkel and swim in pristine ocean waters, read a book or sunbathe on the white-sand beach. At the end of approximately two hours, your pilot returns you to Cairns to end your tour.
