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.

Outstanding Flight Reef to Mountains - Wow, this has to have been one of the best travel experiences I have ever had. How do you describe seeing the Great Barrier Reef from 500 feet and being able to see turtles, sea snakes and sharks and then heading back to the coast and inland to see Barron Falls and Gorge in all their glory. Although not cheap it is money absolutely well spent and will provide a lifetime of memories. Don’t miss this one!!
