Your flight, your route

Country you can't see any other way

Cape York is enormous, wild and almost entirely roadless once you leave the main track. From the air, it all opens up — the reef edge, the mangrove mazes, the sand spits and the ranges rolling down to the sea. Tell us what you want to see and we'll plan the line.

The experience

Reefs, river mouths & sandbars

Trace the coastline where the rivers meet the sea, hover over turquoise shallows, and set down on a sandbar for photos if conditions allow. Doors can come off for the photographers.

  • Custom routes — sunrise, sunset or midday light
  • Optional remote beach or sandbar landing
  • Perfect add-on to a fishing or transfer flight
  • Special occasions and proposals welcome — just ask
