See the Wet Tropics from the air — the oldest continually surviving tropical rainforest on earth, next to the reef, the second World Heritage half of the longer Cairns flights. From the highway it is a green wall. From the helicopter it is canopy, gorge, and escarpment after you leave the Coral Sea. The 30-minute Cairns reef ticket does not add this forest. Port Douglas 30 is reef only on this hub.
The 45-minute Reef & Rainforest from Cairns is the Great Barrier Reef ticket that puts this forest after the inner reef. Stoney Creek Falls, Barron Falls, the Barron River. About 45 minutes. The 60-minute ticket is the same rainforest plus a 15-minute extension along Lamb Range and Lake Morris, then Cairns. Shared. Pier Heliport.
You do not land in the Daintree on these two tickets. A Daintree landing day is a different exclusive. You do not get a waterfall picnic. You fly the canopy and go home. Paths move with weather.
The extra of 60 is Lamb Range and Lake Morris, not a private forest. The extra of Port Douglas is a different reef, not this gorge. Stay on 45 if two World Heritage sites in one hour of flying is the point. Take 30 if you only want coral.
Barron Falls is the named drop in this forest. Green Island and Upolu are the reef you fly first. Low Isles is Port Douglas water. Cape Town is another coast from the air; this is reef next to rainforest.
Check in 45 minutes before at Cairns Pier Heliport. Groups of seven or more (two helicopters) may be sent to Hangar 7, Bush Pilots Avenue, Aeroglen — follow the confirmation. No hotel pickup. Shared. 130 kg extra seat at 50%. Weights when you book. Cancel as shown when you book — currently 24 hours on some tickets and up to 2 days on others.
