Your Lizard Island air tour begins with a complimentary hotel transfer to Cairns General Aviation terminal for check-in and safety briefing prior to departure (transfers are avaible for passengers staying at Cairns City based accommodation).
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 you fly at low levels along the World Heritage listed Rainforest and out over the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. Experience unique views of the world heritage listed wetlands of the lower section of Cape York Peninsula as well as exciting aerial views of Port Douglas, the Daintree Valley, Daintree River, Cape Tribulation, Bloomfield, Cooktown, the Endeavour River and the Silica sands of Cape Flattery just to name just a few.
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 the 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 bit of everything!
There are 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 back to Cairns at the end of the day 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.
This tour is open to people of all ages (a moderate degree of fitness and mobility is required). The reef comes to within thirty meters of the beach, therefore no climbing on and off boats and more importantly, there are no crowds!
