First rate service and we booked another trip before we left Castaway - that says it all really. Counting down the sleeps until our trip to Lizard Island. Boys - hats of to you. An absolute pleasure after one of the worst holiday experiences I've ever encountered in 25 yrs of traveling. You made our holiday enjoyable again and restored... More

We only booked a half hour flight over the Low Isles and nearby waterfalls as we had a three year old with us, and weren't sure how he'd go in a helicopter. The experience is first rate, excellent visibility through the front and sides, they were very accommodating to kids. Would definitiely go back - Next time we'll book a... More

My husband and I recently returned from Port Douglas for the second time. We have done a lot of different day trips including the obligatory day-trip to the reef to snorkel. This time instead, we decided to get a 'birds-eye view' and booked a 60 minute scenic flight over the rainforest and reef. Our pilot, Ryan was wonderful! I cannot... More

During our recent holiday in Port Douglas my Son and I decided on a SkySafari flight out over the Low Isles and Batt Reef. Our arrival at the SkySafari office met us with a very friendly greeting by our Pilot who, after a brief friendly chat, took us out to the helicopter for our safety talk and then off we... More

We have enjoyed the Sky Safari helicopters on a few different tours. Every time in all directions provides the most spectacular sights and access to the most remote area's from a sand cay on the Great Barrier Reef to the hidden gems found in the Daintree Rainforest. Places no other tours can access including romantic stops, with landings in places... More

I treated myself and Mum, visiting from China, to the 45 minute Reef and Rainforest flight. What an amazing trip - the reef was stunning, saw loads of turtles, a stingray and even a pod of dolphins. The views over the rainforest are breathtaking and a wonderful way to see it after having been walking through it a few days... More

We were visiting Port Douglas for the solar eclipse and wanted to do a helicopter trip to see the Great Barrier Reef. I contact Skysafari and Za couldn't have been more helpful in giving me the information I needed and helping me with making the booking even though we were hours apart (we live in the UK) which made things...

Highly recommend this helicopter trip! Although pricey, it is well worth it! You get a total of 3 hours on the trip with a helicopter ride to a sand cay in the middle of the Reef along with a lovely and generous serving of food! Ryan, our pilot was incredibly informative and very friendly! When you get to the sand... More

We recently did the batt reef tour and thought it was amazing. Pilot Ryan was great at making us feel safe and made sure we had a wonderful trip. It was my first helicopter ride and definitely not my last. Highly recommend this company.

Back in Aug. my boyfriend suprised me with a helicoptor tour of the Great Barrier Reef with Skysafari during our trip to Australia. The pilot picked us up in a very nice van and took us to the launch pad which was not far down the road from our hotel. I was a little scared at first, as I had... More
