Take a helicopter flight from Townsville for 30 minutes to see the sights of Magnetic Island on our circumnavigation flight to see all the forests, ship wrecks, bays and beaches.
As we lift off from the airport at Townsville we make our way over the city and across the famous Strand Esplanade and swimming pool.
Take photographs of Castle Hill the pink monolith mountain that dominates Townsville city’s skyline before we swing the helicopter to the right and head out across the Great Barrier Reef to Magnetic Island.
Our helicopter circumnavigation flight of Magnetic Island will be simply spectacular as we point out interesting items like the sunken wreck of the ship City of Adelaide and the sighting of possibly some of the other 19 ships that lay submerged in the water.
We fly over Horseshoe Bay, the magnificent pine forests in amongst the granite boulders and see Mt Cook, waterfalls (in the green season), Nelly Bay, Geoffrey Bay and many more of the 23 bays on the island.
During the months of July to September keep your eyes peeled for the annual migration of the humpback whales as they find a safe place to calve amongst the coral reefs.

See all Townsville helicopter rides and Magnetic Island helicopter rides.
Explore Magnetic Island's stunning sandy bays, fringing reefs, lush peaks and headlands topped with giant granite boulders, and enjoy a view usually only experienced by the island's own Brahminy Kites and Ospreys.
This 30-minute tour is one where you don't just see the beautiful Magnetic Island: if you get lucky, you might also see dugongs, sea turtles, manta rays, dolphins... the list goes on. And all from the comfort of your private, air-conditioned helicopter!
Your scenic lap of the island begins with views of the shipwrecked City of Adelaide - and the perspective is one that you can only get from a helicopter. As we continue around Maggie Island, you'll have great views of all the major bays and beaches as well as lesser-known isolated beaches which are pristine and exquisite - and you'd hardly know they existed, if not for this flight.
We can also depart from and drop off at Magnetic Island with slight alternations to the tour.Explore Magnetic Island's stunning sandy bays, fringing reefs, lush peaks and headlands topped with giant granite boulders, and enjoy a view usually only experienced by the island's own Brahminy Kites and Ospreys.
