Highlights

  • Soar above Townsville City and Castle Hill, soaking in breathtaking views of the coastline and mountain ranges.
  • Spot vibrant marine life in Cleveland Bay while circling the heritage-listed Cape Cleveland lighthouse.
  • Unwind on Magnetic Island's sandy beaches, enjoying a picnic under shady trees in a tranquil paradise.
  • Experience the stunning aerial views of lush peaks and granite boulders during your scenic flight around Magnetic Island.

Explore Townsville’s best features, from the secluded Cape Cleveland lighthouse to the always stunning Magnetic Island, with this special scenic flight combining two of their most popular tours.

This trip begins by taking in views of Townsville City and Castle Hill, before heading over Cleveland Bay to Cape Cleveland’s heritage-listed lighthouse, enjoying views towards the coastline and mountain ranges along the way. You may also be lucky enough to spot some of the stunning marine life of Cleveland Bay!

After a circuit of the lighthouse at the tip of the Cape, you will fly directly over to Nelly Bay on Magnetic Island where you’ll have 45 minutes on the ground to relax on the beach, enjoy a picnic under the shady trees and enjoy Townsville’s little slice of paradise.

After this we’re back in the air to start our anti-clockwise lap of Maggie, taking in the island’s stunning sandy bays, fringing reefs, lush peaks and headlands topped with giant granite boulders. The trip is conducted from our base in Townsville, but we can also arrange to pick-up and/or drop-off at the Nelly Bay helipad, with some alterations to the tour.
