  • Overview

    Only from the air can you truly appreciate the beauty, variety and sheer scale of the stunning natural landscapes that comprise the greater Townsville region.  

    Witness a vast panorama of tropical islands scattered through the strikingly turquoise waters of the coral sea, rugged rocky coastlines, long stretches of isolated sandy beaches and uninhabited tropical islands, mangrove estuaries, saltpans and coastal swamps, rivers, creeks and even seasonal waterfalls flowing from sheer, forest covered mountains (Hinchinbrook Island).   

    The views around Hinchinbrook are spectacularly punctuated by abrupt headlands giving way to countless secluded coves and pristine sandy beaches which stretch along much of the islands eastern shoreline. 

    In addition to the immense natural beauty of Hinchinbrook you may be able to spot the remains of an American B-42 Liberator Bomber known as the Texas-Terror which crashed at the islands most southern point during a violent storm back in December, 1942.  A total of 5 shipwrecks also surround the island, and if the tides are right, the remains of the brigantine Belle, lost here 130 years ago, can be seen resting in Ramsey Bay.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I didn’t know much about the company, but was interested in booking a flight. When I called up, Amy answered the phone and I wish I could give her service 6 stars. She was so lovely and through, made sure to answer ALL my questions and trust me I had a lot. Thank you for your patience and kindness with me
