Review of Cairns’ Outer Great Barrier Reef cruise with snorkeling, optional scuba, helicopter flight, BBQ lunch, and practical booking tips.

“What a great day . The crew were very professional and at times hilarious!! . We had a great day on the reef , saw lots of fish and coral , we even saw a humpback whale on the way to the reef . The helicopter ride was amazing just a pity we didn’t see any sea life from the air , no one’s fault !! You can’t order that .”

Gold Coast: Jet Boat Ride and Scenic Helicopter Tour

8.Jet Boat Ride and Scenic Helicopter Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 127 reviews · 1h 30m · from $148

Combine a 55-minute Gold Coast jet boat ride with a 10-minute helicopter flight over Surfers Paradise and the coast.

“Was a bit apprehensive at first as we are OAPs and had surgery a while ago, but the team and crew looked after us and we felt safe at all times. Safety was first class. The transportation and changeover was easy and the helicopter ride brilliant all over Surfers. Would do it again, Probably the only things that would have been better. We did not know about the discount for 2nd booking after doing a lunch cruise the day before. There were no concession for pensioners.”

All in all though it was a good ride.”
