Reviews: Cairns Green Island Big Cat half-day tour with snorkeling/glass-bottom boat
Guest User2026-01-31
Since we only had a short stay, we decided to take a quick afternoon tour. The boat ride to the island was very rocky due to the rain and rough weather. I got seasick and couldn't move, so I recommend taking motion sickness medicine if you are prone to seasickness. I was impressed to see sea turtles swimming gracefully nearby.★

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: 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! ★

Logistics are well planned and easy to understand. The guide was informative and funny. Best option if you do not want to get wet.
