Reviews: Cairns Magic Reef Great Barrier Reef 1-day tour with snorkeling, lunch, glass-bottom boat, and semi-submarine
Dotoshnyi Turist2026-10-29
A full-day trip to Magic Reef was the best thing that ever happened to us in Cairns. The boat takes us to a pontoon, and for five hours we enjoy everything we can, snorkeling, diving, a glass-bottom boat, and even a fish-feeding show. We had a delicious lunch with fruit and shrimp. We were touched by the friendliness of the crew; everyone was so nice and ready to help at any time.

Reviews: Cairns Green Island Big Cat cruise 1-day tour
Gyuzel902026-09-23
The staff was friendly and helpful. I didn't know what time my activities would be, but they scheduled everything for me. The catamaran was new, the toilets were clean, and they gave me free tea for the first hour (after that, you had to pay). On the island, you can walk through the forest, eat, snorkel, swim, and sunbathe. Sun loungers are available for a fee. There are restrooms everywhere. Lunch is served on the boat—a buffet (meat, seafood, side dishes, salads, fruit)—but drinks are not included. Drinks are an additional fee. My activities included a glass-bottom boat and a semi-submersible boat—I recommend both. I didn't snorkel, but all the equipment was there. Basically, you sail to the island, the boat stays there the entire time, and you have all sorts of activities—you can hang out on the boat or on the island, and then it departs at the appointed time.

Reviews: [Add CNY 10 for airport pick-up · Fuel surcharge included] Cairns Sunlover Reef Cruises Great Barrier Reef 1-day tour
Anonymous user2025-08-04
It's definitely worth the experience, and I highly recommend every visitor to Cairns to take a boat tour. The kids loved it, especially the water slide (apparently the only one on any boat), the snorkeling, and seeing sea turtles swimming right around us – it was incredibly therapeutic. There was a bit of discomfort on the way there, but I didn't feel anything on the way back; I'm not sure if it was because my body adjusted or if it was a matter of going with or against the current.

Reviews: Cairns Great Barrier Reef + Fitzroy Island 1-day tour
Guest user2026-10-27
I traveled to Cairns with my father, and we booked different itineraries on the same day. He didn't want to walk, so he went to Green Island on the Big Cat, while I chose Emerald Island because I wanted to experience some rainforest and kayaking. It was definitely worth the trip. Emerald Island has a very diverse landscape, from the Jellyfish Sea to the beach to the rainforest. Overall, I was very satisfied with the trip!

Reviews: Cairns Big Cat/Green Island Great Barrier Reef Cruise [Short Trip/Snorkeling/Glass Bottom Boat]
zlingng2026-09-12
Very convenient for elderly people or young kids that can't snorkel or head into the waters to view the Great Barrier Reef. Bring basic swim gears at least even if you're not going for a swim. Worth going for a walk in the waters or a light dip. If you're not keen on buffet on a boat or the restaurant choices, bring your own lunch, or just your own snack to enjoy on the island. Go for a walk on the other end of the island. Different trails to suit different stamina. If elderly or young kids is going, it may be much comfortable to book the return boat /cruise to and from Green Island, the lunch buffet /the lunch package with Emerald Restaurant / food voucher with 1 of the eateries, book the glass bottom boat ride in lieu of the snorkeling, and the semi submarine too.

Reviews: Cairns Sunlover Great Barrier Reef Cruise Day Trip [Optional: Double Reef/Buffet Lunch/Snorkeling]
Guest user2026-02-26
It was a great travel experience. The Great Barrier Reef is absolutely beautiful, and the whole trip was smooth and enjoyable. The buffet was delicious, and the helicopter ride was fantastic. The only downside is that seasickness is quite common when going out to sea, so it's best to bring seasickness medication.
