Inner Reef Explorer - 30 minute Reef Scenic Flight
Overview
Continuing north we’ll circle Vlasoff Cay a tiny sand island in the middle of the reef that reduces to only a few hundred square metres in size at high tide. From Vlasoff Cay we head west, over Upolu Cay and back to Cairns taking in fantastic views of the North Queensland coastline framed by the lush rainforest-covered eastern slopes of the Great Dividing Range.

Can only be a 5 star experience when visiting a private Cay, with perfect flying conditions, with the best pilot, John.

Still in awe of the experience days after. Thank you very much John will call next time in Cairns!Flew with Chris & two sons aged 14 & 12. Flight was smooth and Chris was the consummate host!

This is such a beautiful and fun way to see the reef! Chris was an excellent and well informed pilot. We weren’t very lucky with the weather the week we were in cairns, but we were lucky to get a break in the rain to go up. Highly recommended! Next time I’d like to take the option of getting out on the tiny sand island for a few hours to swim and snorkel.Great pilot in Jonno and the views were incredible. Lots of interesting information, was a wonderful experience.
