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!★

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: Great Barrier Reef Full Day Tour from Cairns
Guest User2024-09-15
Wife enjoyed the snorkling on the reef .It was her first time. I've done this before ,and in New Caledonia, and Samoa. I think the company could offer a reduced cost for passanger only accompanying a diver as wife wouldn't go by herself . And as couple not both partners want to dive.
