Inner Reef Explorer - 30 minute Reef Scenic Flight
This 30-minute scenic helicopter tour departs Cairns airport and tracks out from the mainland with views of the city of Cairns and Trinity inlet, passing False Cape where you can see the remnants of WWII defences, Mt Yarrabah, Mission Bay and Cape Grafton. From there we strike out to the inner edge of the Reef and Green Island, a 6,000 year-old coral sand island that boasts its own native rainforest eco-system. Tracking to the north, we explore the western side of Arlington Reef, home to a diverse range of marine creatures – turtles, sharks and sting rays. 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.

Cairns: Wildlife and Photography Walk in the Botanic Gardens
There is a whole world in these gardens that most people never see. Jumping spiders smaller than a fingernail. Caterpillars that look like twigs. Fungi that grow all around. Bridgette Gower and her team have spent over 2,000 hours in the Cairns Botanic Gardens finding them, and on this two-hour morning walk, they take you directly to them. This is a photography-led exploration of the insects, spiders, reptiles, and fungi that live in the undergrowth and go unnoticed by most visitors. The routes are seasonal. Jumping spiders, mantids, butterflies, beetles, and moths are regular sightings. Bridgette and Ros help you identify each species and understand the ecosystems they are part of. Photography guidance is built in for all skill levels. Whether you use a smartphone or a dedicated camera, you will leave with shots worth keeping. Camera hire is available from A$29 - $49 across beginner, intermediate, and advanced options. Reserve your preferred option after booking and pay on the day.

Cairns: Night Wildlife Walk in the Botanic Gardens
Most people walk through Cairns Botanic Gardens and see plants. Bridgette Gower walks through and sees a thousand tiny creatures. With over 2,000 hours in these gardens, she knows where White-lipped Tree Frogs shelter, where Net-casting Spiders set up at dusk, and which host plants the caterpillars favour. On this two-hour night walk, she shares all of it, from Striped Possums to Papuan Frogmouths. The route changes with the season. Frogs are reliable year-round. Expect eyeshines before you see the creatures behind them, and the chance to photograph a Papuan Frogmouth sitting perfectly still. Groups are capped at eight. Bridgette gives real attention to your questions, interests, and camera settings. Photography guidance is part of the experience. Camera hire available from A$40 to A$80. Beginner to advanced options. Reserve after booking, pay on the day. Wear comfortable clothes, closed-toe shoes, and long sleeves.

Outer Reef Odyssey - 40 minute Reef Scenic Flight
This 40-minute reef scenic helicopter flight is incredible. By extending the flight by another 10 minutes, we take in all the highlights of the 30-minute product, but extend the flight path out to the east, passing Green Island and tracking to the outer edge of Arlington Reef – one of the largest reefs in the northern section of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. We traverse the very edge of the reef pushing toward the edge of the Australian continental shelf where the water clarity is unsurpassed, and the ocean floor drops away to over 1,000 feet. The additional time allows us to push further north past sandy Vlasoff Cay and on to the outer reaches of the Reef to immerse yourself in the colours and textures of the reef and clear blue waters. The massive North Queensland skies provide unforgettable backdrops for the keen photographer to capture once in a lifetime images. Our local pilot/guides provide commentary and insights into the reef and its abundance of marine inhabitants.
