FAQ
How far in advance should I book a Cairns helicopter tour?
Flights are sold on the live calendar across open daytime slots, weather permitting — check availability for dates and start times. Meet at the Cairns Pier Heliport on Pier Point Road by the Esplanade; no hotel pickup. Plan to check in about 45 minutes before departure; check-in closes 30 minutes prior. The exact flight time is confirmed after booking. Shared flights need a minimum number of passengers. Live prices are shown when you book.
Can children go on a Cairns helicopter tour?
Infants aged 0–2 may sit on a caregiver’s lap free of charge. Children aged 3 and over need their own seat at the adult ticket price.
What is the cancellation policy for Cairns helicopter tours?
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before for a full refund. Reef and rainforest weather changes quickly; if a flight cannot operate you can usually choose another date or claim a refund under the free-cancellation and weather policy on your booking.
What is the weight limit for a helicopter tour in Cairns?
Maximum single-seat payload is 130 kg. Advise passenger weights at booking. Guests over that limit need an extra seat at about half the ticket price, payable on the day of travel.
