Reviews: Australia travel Cairns Mission Beach skydiving 1-day tour with ocean views
Guest User2019-03-30
Very recommended,
At 6:30 in the morning, there is a car from the hotel to the city. I changed the bus to drive two hours to Meishen Beach. Due to the weather, I will wait for the news at 9:30. I will inform the weather at 12:00 that I can parachute. I will get on the plane at 14:30. I will start the return trip at 16:30. It is still two hours to the hotel entrance.

Yes, the helicopter tour is highly recommended. The scenery is beautiful, many of the crew members speak Chinese, and the lunch is also good.★

Reviews: Cairns hot air balloon ride with sunrise views - 40–60 min flight experience (includes taxes + optional hotel transfers)
Guest User2025-11-04
It was better than I expected! It was my first time to ride a hot air balloon, and the view was truly spectacular. I was glad I participated because I was able to see wild animals like wallabies and horses, and I would definitely participate again if I ever come to Cairns. It was also great that I was able to enjoy myself right up until the last moment before I left! I was grateful that they took me to the airport. A Japanese person was there the whole time, explaining everything to me, so I was able to participate with peace of mind. They also communicated with me via SMS right up until the last moment before the trip, which made things go smoothly on the day. Thank you very much!★

The underwater world of the Great Barrier Reef is simply wonderful! I participated in snorkeling and saw a variety of corals, fish, turtles, everything, beautiful! It feels like being on another planet!
