Hand-picked tours across the world's coral reefs
Our team has been pulling together the best small-group tours, day trips and multi-day adventures around the world's coral reefs for years. Mick reads the traveller reviews before any tour earns a spot on this page — if a tour's a dud, it doesn't get listed.

45 Minute Reef and Rainforest Flight
This 70-minute scenic flight departing from Cairns covers two of Australia's most dramatic landscapes in a single route. You'll bank over Green Island and its surrounding reef systems, then climb toward the rainforest canopy near Kuranda, descending along Barron Gorge to witness the falls from above before returning to the airport. The flight captures the reef's turquoise shallows and the jungle's layered green in one sweeping arc across tropical North Queensland.

60 minute Reef and Rainforest Scenic Flight
This 60-minute helicopter flight from Cairns covers the full spectrum of Far North Queensland's landscape in a single sortie. You'll bank over the city, sweep across dense rainforest canopy, cross the tablelands, spot waterfalls and island outcrops, then move offshore to survey the reef's coral gardens and white sand cays. The route compresses what shorter flights deliver piecemeal into one continuous arc, with a pilot who knows where the light hits best.
