Reviews: Free turtle plush toy - Cairns Reef Magic Moore Reef Great Barrier Reef 1-day tour
Guest User2025-11-03
I'm so disappointed that the photo service is gone ㅠㅠ I saw the Napoleon fish that I wanted to see so badly, but I just passed by with my eyes 😭 People without a GoPro have no way to take a picture even if they saw it right in front of them 😭★

Reviews: Great Barrier Reef Snorkeling and Diving Cruise from Cairns
Guest User2024-09-14
Fantastic day with great staff who look after every need. We stopped at two reefs and had a great deal of time at each. I felt very safe and secure throughout, they really look after everyone. Great lunch too with options for everyone. The fish and reef were beyond incredible and I only wish I could have stayed longer in Cairns as I would absolutely repeat this tour! ★

The Kuranda Rainforest Cable Car offers a stunning aerial view, while the train journeys through the rainforest, passing beautiful waterfalls along the way. Our day tour guide, Mr. Zhang, was very knowledgeable about Cairns, providing an overview of its history. His well-organized tour was excellent; a truly outstanding guide! Thumbs up! 👍👍👍👍👍 Five-star review.★
