Your day starts with a 25-minute scenic flight to the outer reef departing from our helipad conveniently located at the Cairns City Esplanade. On your way you will enjoy stunning panoramic views extending from the tropical rainforest to the azure waters of the Great Barrier Reef, looking out for turtles, dolphins, manta rays, large schools of pelagic fish and potentially majestic humpback whales in season.
Arriving at our Hastings Reef floating helipad you well meet the team from Evolution. Snorkel, scuba dive, join a semi-submersible tour with live commentary from a marine expert or take advantage of Evolution’s extensive lounging areas to simply relax or soak up some tropical sun.
