    Experience the popular Wetlands Safari Cruise as above, plus an exhilarating, sensory filled Airboat Adventure! 

    Having a flat bottom and no underwater rudder or propulsion system to snag on things below, the Airboat glides freely across seemingly endless floodplains and into additional areas inaccessible by conventional craft.  This is definitely on the list of must-do, iconic Top End experiences! 

    Being slightly longer in total duration, this option also includes a light picnic lunch.

    We decided to go on a trip after arriving in Cairns not realising the demand. The team at Nautilus did everything to accommodate us, even re-arranging bookings, pilots & craft so we could experience the Vlasoff Cay island touch down dependent on the regulations of the island being empty. Cairns turned on the perfect weather and the Nautilus Team put on the perfect experience. Pilot was friendly, good sense of humour, informative and respectful of all our requests down to taking some awesome 📸 of us as a group. Even detoured slightly so we could see the whale 🐋 and calf 🐳 we spotted. Best 80 mins ever and worth every cent. Hit the jackpot with beautiful sunshine, calm winds. Helicopters well equipped, clean and safe. Loved this, best ever birthday adventure.

    The flight over the reef was amazing. Saw sting rays, manta rays, turtles and a shark. Craig the pilot was very informative with his knowledge of the area. I highly recommend it.

    One of the best experiences I’ve ever had!!! You cannot put a price on this outstanding trip. The day was absolutely perfect and the pilot was very knowledgeable and friendly. We forgot his name but he was such a great pilot. We were fortunate enough to land on the sandcay and have a beautiful picnic followed by snorkelling. The food in the picnic was absolutely awesome!!! We got given so much and it was delicious! The picturesque views were one of a kind and the snorkelling was fantastic. We got to see so much of the reef - it was the best!!! I would do this trip over and over again if I could. Thank you so much it was the best day ever!!! If I could give 10 stars I would.

    We were extremely lucky to have experienced this on the day we were there. The weather was not favourable in the morning however it did clear up. The communication with this company was brilliant. They kept in touch with us about the expectations of the day. The pilot was knowledgeable and friendly and the everything is explained so well for you to feel very safe and have a fantastic experience. To see the Great Barrier Reef from this view was like nothing else. Thank you to Nautilus Aviation. Highly recommended.
