  • Overview

    Our 20-minute rainforest scenic product provides a ‘taste’ of this incredible World Heritage-listed natural environment. Cairns sits on a floodplain to the south of the mouth of the mighty Barron River. The Barron's headwaters start in the Mount Hypipamee National Park at an elevation of 3,900 ft. The river flows 65 kilometres across fertile volcanic soils of the Atherton Tablelands and then journeys through the quaint village of Kuranda before cascading down the 850 ft high Barron Falls and moving across the Cairns floodplains out into the Coral Sea.

    The Barron Gorge is an impressive natural feature carved out of the Great Dividing Range and the Falls at its head are intimidating to behold when in full flight during the tropical wet season. This flight tracks up through the Barron Gorge up to and over the Barron Falls, passing the over the world famous Skyrail Rainforest Cableway where it spans the river and around the village of Kuranda before turning for the coast and descending over the lush eastern slopes of the Great Dividing Range on the return leg with panoramic views over Cairns City and out to the Reef.

    Note: A minimum of 2 people are required for this booking to proceed.

    Had a wonderful experience with Zoom Helicopters. For best experience, book direct with Zoom! 100% they went above and beyond to take care of us. This was a bucket list tour during our 274 day Ultimate World Cruise port stop.

    We were trying to squeeze in a helicopter tour of the reef very last minute. After being turned down by multiple places and thinking we missed our opportunity, Zoom Helicopters answered their phone and were happy to take us out on one last tour for the day. Even though it was later in the day, the views were spectacular and the tour was more than we could have asked for. I highly recommend Zoom Helicopters.

    I had an amazing experience with Zoom Helicopters in Cairns! The city flyover was a blast, and I couldn't have asked for a better way to explore the area from above. The staff was incredibly friendly and informative, making sure I felt comfortable throughout the entire journey. The views were absolutely breathtaking, and I felt safe and well taken care of the entire time. If you're looking for a fun and memorable adventure in Cairns, I highly recommend Zoom Helicopters

    An outstanding trip flying out to Green Island from Cairns Airport and back inland to Barron Falls and Gorge. Certainly the most spectacular way to see the reef and fall. I would highly recommend this flight to everyone and could only give this flight 10/10

    What an awesome trip, zooming over the reef spotting turtles and manta rays, the guys that run Zoom are so friendly and do work around to fit you in, thanks Johnno and Neils for our very first chopper flight.
