Review of Mallorca’s helicopter tour, with flight options, routes, costs, practical tips, and advice on choosing the right ride.

“As a local from Mallorca, I’ve seen this beautiful island in so many ways: by car, by boat, even from planes taking off… but nothing compares to seeing it from a helicopter. The perspective is absolutely breathtaking. At times, it felt like I could reach out and touch the mountains! I did the 40-minute ride and honestly… it wasn’t enough. I could’ve stayed up there forever. The colors, the coastline, the hidden spots only visible from above—it gave me a whole new appreciation for the island I call home. Special shoutout to my pilot, Anne Christine, who was a total 10! Professional, kind, and made the experience feel safe and…”

Full Day Reef Cruise and 10 Minute Helicopter Scenic Flight

10.Full Day Reef Cruise and 10 Minute Helicopter Scenic Flight

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 340 reviews · from $283

Review of Cairns’ full-day Great Barrier Reef cruise with two reef sites, BBQ lunch, snorkelling, scuba options, and a 10-minute helicopter flight.

“The crew on the boat was amazing, but we went out on a "stormy" kind of day, and the majority of passengers on the boat were sick. I kind of wish the cruise was canceled because of the wind warning, but they said seasick pills should help. Again, the crew was amazing and took care of us during the roller coaster boat ride. We were able to snorkel at the reef, but visibility wasn't ideal. Our helicopter ride was canceled because of weather, too, and they kindly reimbursed us for that part. I have to remember I booked a trip during fall, so there is always the possibility of weather…”
