DEPARTING OR RETURNING TO CAIRNS AIRPORT (GENERAL AVIATION)

THE EXPERIENCE

Imagine arriving at your accommodation in style via helicopter or even returning to Cairns post your stay. Given our diverse fleet of aircraft,  Nautilus Aviation can make this a reality for you.

Departing in your private charter helicopter you will enjoy scenic views as we transport you to your holiday destination. 

Our most popular scenic accommodation transfer package is between Cairns and our Port Douglas Helipad located at Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort and is a great landing point for anywhere you are staying in Port Douglas.  This option includes a coach service (Exemplar Limousines) that collects you from Cairns Domestic Airport before transferring you to our General Aviation Heliport (Hanger 7).  Your luggage will then be transported to your nominated accommodation in Port Douglas. This itinerary can also be reversed.

Passengers who do not require the private coach transfer can just book the helicopter scenic transfer standalone and these rates are available on request.

Nautilus Aviation can also offer scenic accommodation transfers to Daintree Eco Lodge*, Silky Oaks Lodge, Thala Beach Lodge, Green Island Resort only 20 minutes from Cairns, Orpheus Island Lodge* ex Townsville, Mt Mulligan Lodge* west of Cairns, Lizard and Bedarra Islands.
