Cape York Peninsula is a truly spectacular region. Featuring diverse terrain from rainforest to savanna, wild rivers and wetlands, Cape York is a simply amazing place to visit.
A series of large river systems including the Mitchell, Wenlock and Jardine rivers flow into the Gulf of Carpentaria. In the dry season, these river systems are largely reduced to a series of sandy river beds and waterholes. In the wet season however, the region’s rivers spread across extensive floodplains and coastal wetlands giving life to the region’s unique flora and fauna. The extensive wetlands on Cape York Peninsula”s east coast are the largest and most diverse in Australia.

Travel by road to much of Cape York is limited to four-wheel drive (or charter boat) even in the dry season, and impossible in the wet. Travel by helicopter is an environmentally friendly way to visit sensitive world heritage areas without damaging the pristine environment. Our R44 has a significantly lower fuel consumption and ‘noise footprint’ than turbine helicopters, making it more practical and efficient for operating in this environment.
Many tourists choose to travel by charter helicopter because the journey to their destination is a breath-taking experience marked by beautiful scenery, rather than hot, dusty days on a bumpy road.
