1½ hour Reef n' Rainforest $270 Adult - $67 Child
The ultimate Cairns scenic flight.
Depart Cairns with a view of the City and the Mulgrave valley. Tracking past False Cape and Yarrabah Peninsula we make our way out to Green Island and pick up the chain of reefs that lie about 30 Km from the coast. We now follow this chain for some 120 Km passing Arlington Reef, Upolu Cay, Michaelmas Reef, Batt Reef and Tongue Reef. You'll be amazed by the sheer size of the Great Barrier Reef as it stretches from horizon to horizon in an intricate pattern of shape and colour.
Now abeam Cape Tribulation, we head back to the coast. The Daintree\Cape Tribulation coast is where the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree rainforest meet, the only place on earth where two World Heritage listed areas exist side by side. The Cape Tribulation rainforests are the oldest rainforests on Earth and have existed here some 135 million years. Words do not really describe the rainforests of the Cape, it is something you have to see for yourself.
Leaving the Daintree we make our way back to Cairns via the Cook Highway. See Port Douglas and Four Mile Beach, Wangetti, and Cairns northern beaches.
