Cairns sits on the floodplain south of the mouth of the mighty Barron River. The source of the Barron River originates in Mount Haupipami National Park at an altitude of 3,900 feet. The river flows for 65 kilometres through the fertile volcanic soil of the Atherton Tablelands before flowing through the quaint village of Kuranda before cascading over the 850-foot Barron Falls and continuing across the Cairns floodplain into the Coral Sea. An impressive natural feature carved out of the Great Dividing Range, the Barron Gorge's top waterfalls are awe inspiring when at full speed during the tropical rainy season. The flight ascends along the Barron Gorge to the Barron Falls, passing the world-famous Skyrail Rainforest Cableway, which crosses the river and skirts the village of Kuranda before turning to the coast and descending the Great Dividing Range on the Return route over the lush eastern slopes, offering panoramic views of Cairns city and the Great Barrier Reef.Departure Timeslot: 09:00, 10:00, 11:00, 12:00, 13:00, 14:00, 15:00, 16:00Project includes: Cairns Barron Gorge and Waterfall helicopter sightseeing flight (about 20 minutes of tropical rainforest scenery)Meeting point: Zoom Helicopters at 21 Bush Pilots Avenue, General Aviation, Cairns AirportC About 30 minutes of tropical rainforest sightseeingItinerary reference (subject to actual situation)Extending our rainforest scenic flight to 30 minutes, we begin this experience by quickly climbing a 2,500-foot gap above the city of Cairns, heading west towards the Great Dividing Range.
