Reviews: Cairns Sunlover Fitzroy Island 1-day tour [Optional snorkeling/lunch | Emerald Island]
Guest User2025-09-10
Easy to book with lots of options to suit your needs. We chose the transfer and snorkelling gear package. Just be mindful that you mind have to pick up the gear from other boat before heading to the one that will take you to the island. If you have a big family and kids, it might be problematic to take all of this stuff with you and walk to the boat. The boat was packed and we struggled to find a place to sit with all of this stuff, and had to seat separately. Apart from that the experience was great, the island is beautiful and you can see the reef and all the sea life. The beach itself is covered in washed away corals, which is beautiful but you might need coral shoes or crocs to make it easier to walk. You can also hike up the mountain or Nudey beach and the view and water is stunning. The food and water are pricey but you take take it with you from land.★

Reviews: Cairns Great Barrier Reef 1-day tour with Silverswift [Optional scuba diving]
Guest User2024-03-30
The outer Barrier Reef is really beautiful, and the corals are all colored. The reason why I chose sliver swift must be because of the professionalism, Yinyan is simply a gospel for diving lovers. After close contact with the coral, I will find that the original "Coral Sea" really exists!★

Reviews: Cairns Kuranda Rainforest Day Tour English Package Bus Cable Car Rainforest Park Free Choice
Guest User2025-04-18
Booked a small group of Chinese, cable car, train. Three cable cars, watching the waterfall, the Kulanda rain forest is beautiful, the amphibious chariot is cool, the driver will also explain tropical plants, especially humorous. Aboriginal performances, close understanding of indigenous culture, they are very friendly. The restaurant has a buffet and a separate order, which tastes good. You can try the special chocolate banana stick. My favorite link is to hold koalas. The national treasure that worked for two days and half an hour was a bit stinky, but the wife was too cute. Also looking for the camera, the small claws are tightly held, soft and cute. The small train is rickety and will drive for a long time. The tour guide is very good and the tourists in the car help each other. Very unforgettable.★

Reviews: Grand Kuranda including Skyrail and Kuranda Scenic Railway
Guest User2024-07-22
Me and my family took an army duck tour last sunday and we had a really good time. We would like to compliment your new guide Mark. He had really good and interesting comments about nature and wildlife that made the tour fun and enjoyable. We also loved other activities in Kuranda, like the Pamagirri Aboriginal experience. We learned how to throw a boomerang and we enjoyed the presentation of Aboriginal coulture. The scenic Railway had some really good views and the train to Cairns was most enjoyable. Sending love from Slovenia.
