Your day begins with a complimentary hotel transfer to Cairns General Aviation terminal for check-in and safety briefing prior to departure. Your low level scenic flight to Lizard Island will depart at 8.00am. All passengers will have a window seat to take full advantage of the scenery as we fly at low levels along the World Heritage listed Rainforests and over the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.

Once on Lizard Island you will have a full six hours of free time to explore this pristine national park. You may choose to spend they day completely alone relaxing on a secluded beach, or enjoy the company of the tour guide and a small group. The day is yours to do as you wish, snorkel the world famous Clam Garden, relax under the Casuarina trees at Watson's Bay, take a walk to the Blue Lagoon - voted World's Best Remote Beach by New York's 'Details' magazine or keep busy and do a little of everything! There are also many bush walking tracks to places such as Cook's Look and Chinaman's Ridge. Whatever you choose to do at Lizard Island, you can be sure to have a most memorable day!
Your return flight to Cairns is again a low level scenic flight, this time via the Outer Great Barrier Reef. You will see many Sand Cays, Coral Cay Islands, Endeavour Reef, Cairns Reef, Agincourt Reef, Batt Reef and, of course, the Outer Barrier Reef.

The Tour
For a spectacular day of contrast and rediscovery, let yourself be pampered as you travel by waterfalls of ancient rainforests, over incredible white sandy beaches and, into crystal blue waters with colourful coral gardens. The tropical far north attracted pioneers from around the planet. In their wake we share the Blue Lagoon Air Tour.
Enjoy the opportunity to discover the ‘trials and tribulations’ of Captain Cook and some of the early history of far north Queensland when you set down in Cooktown. You will then navigate across the Coral Sea to comfortably arrive on Lizard Island – a true gem of the Great Barrier Reef. Walk, snorkel or just relax at one of the world’s most exclusive and idyllic locations.
Throughout this tour you will be entertained by experienced pilots and knowledgeable guides whilst enjoying fine food and premium refreshments.
