Magnetic Island Scenic Flight
Highlights
- Soar above Magnetic Island's sandy bays and fringing reefs, gaining breathtaking views usually reserved for local wildlife.
- Spot dugongs and sea turtles from your private helicopter, experiencing marine life like never before.
- Marvel at the shipwrecked City of Adelaide, a unique perspective only visible from the sky.
- Discover pristine, isolated beaches that remain hidden to most, revealing the island's untouched beauty.
Explore Magnetic Island’s stunning sandy bays, fringing reefs, lush peaks and headlands topped with giant granite boulders, and enjoy a view usually only experienced by the island’s own Brahminy Kites and Ospreys.
This 30-minute tour is one where you don’t just see the beautiful Magnetic Island: if you get lucky, you might also see dugongs, sea turtles, manta rays, dolphins… the list goes on. And all from the comfort of your private, air-conditioned helicopter!
Your scenic lap of the island begins with views of the shipwrecked City of Adelaide – and the perspective is one that you can only get from a helicopter. As they continue around Maggie Island, you’ll have great views of all the major bays and beaches as well as lesser-known isolated beaches which are pristine and exquisite – and you’d hardly know they existed, if not for this flight.
The trip is conducted from their base in Townsville, but they can also arrange to pick up and/or land at the Nelly Bay helipad, with slight alterations to the tour.
