THE EXPERIENCE 

One of our most brag-worthy experiences in Port Douglas and the ultimate  escape! 

Departing Port Douglas in your private charter helicopter, soak in breathtaking aerial views extending from the tropical rainforest clad coastline and across the azure waters of the Coral Sea before an exhilarating touchdown on idyllic Undine Cay, a jewel in the heart of Australia’s World Heritage Listed Great Barrier Reef.  

Your highly skilled pilot will share their local knowledge of the region while on the lookout for Turtles, Dolphins, Manta Rays, large schools of pelagic fish and even majestic Humpback Whales (Jul-Sep).  

For the next 2 hours you can leave the world behind. Relax in the shallows, enjoy the sand between your toes or snorkel the pristine coral reef waters surrounding this secluded tropical paradise. 

A gourmet picnic hamper* with sparkling wine served under your private beach umbrella tops off this unique, once in a lifetime experience!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Undine Cay is a public Sand Cay and as such can not be reserved. On the rare occasion, it is occupied on our arrival we will not be permitted to land. If this occurs passengers will receive an extended reef scenic flight back to Port Douglas (total flying time 45 mins including initial 20 mins from Port Douglas to Undine Cay).  Passengers will be able to keep their picnic lunch and our reservations team will advise and assist with any refunds applicable.

Some 242 species of birds have been recorded in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park of which 22 seabird species breed on cays such as Undine. These breeding sites are also globally significant migratory sanctuaries limiting visitation to between 01-April and 31-August only.
