Nautilus Aviation
See Magnetic Island and the surrounding North Queensland coastline from above with Nautilus Aviation, offering scenic helicopter experiences from Townsville Airport.
The 30-minute Magnetic Island Scenic Flight takes you across Townsville’s waterfront and Cleveland Bay before circling Maggie, with incredible views over secluded beaches, rugged granite headlands, fringing reefs and turquoise waters.
For a bigger adventure, longer scenic flights venture beyond Magnetic Island to Cape Cleveland Lighthouse, the Palm Island Group and spectacular Hinchinbrook Island, showcasing the scale and beauty of the Great Barrier Reef region along the way.
For something a little different, Nautilus also offers a Fly & Sail Magnetic Island experience, combining a scenic helicopter flight over the island with a small-group sailing adventure. After landing on Maggie, take to the water to explore the coastline and one of the island’s secluded bays, bringing together two completely different perspectives of the island in one experience.
Whether you keep it local to Maggie or venture further along the coast, Nautilus Aviation offers a memorable way to see just how spectacular this part of North Queensland is.
WHAT WE LOVE
Fly & Sail Maggie: Experience Magnetic Island from two completely different perspectives, combining spectacular aerial views of the island’s rugged coastline, secluded bays and fringing reefs with a small-group sailing adventure on the water.
Go Beyond the Island: The adventure doesn’t have to stop at Maggie. Longer scenic flights take in Cape Cleveland Lighthouse, the tropical islands of the Palm Island Group and as far north as spectacular Hinchinbrook Island. Nautilus Aviation
The Reef From Above: There’s nothing quite like seeing the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park from the air, with turquoise waters, coral-fringed coastlines, remote islands and hidden beaches revealing just how vast this incredible part of North Queensland really is.
