Exhilaration and Awesome Wonder - We were in the expert hands of Haley who guided us through the most incredible journey. Photos and videos just can't do it justice. The tide was low and the sun was out so we saw lots of corral reefs then climbed up and over the rainforest to Kuranda and the famous gauge. The water tumbling into the plains below which only recently were flooded. What an almighty tour. Highly recommended. One of the world's wonders and in such safe hands.

Outstanding experience. Highly recommended - Outstanding flight over the reef and the rainforest. Would certainly recommend. Great to have an overview of both before visiting them individually over the next two days. The entire team were welcoming, knowledgeable and friendly. Worth every cent.

Fear Of Heights Quickly Forgotten - 8/6/2024 My daughter and I did the Rainforest Fusion flight this morning with Niels and it was absolutely amazing. I am scared of heights, but this fear was quickly forgotten thanks to the beautiful scenery and our pilots lovely friendly manner. From booking, right through to actually experiencing the flight, they’ve been a great company to deal with. I would 100% recommend Zoom Helicopters too everyone

45 mins scenic flight - The pilot was very helpful, professional, friendly and easy to talk to. We flew very smoothly in the air, it was a little bit windy, but the pilot did a really great job driving the helicopter. We were accommodated very well. Five out of five!

Absolutely incredible experience! - Incredible experience, best way to see Cairns! Friendly and informative pilot/guide. We had so much fun and got to experience the reef and rainforest/gorge in the most amazing way. This was perfect as we had such a short time in Cairns, allowing us to experience a lot in a short time.
