Cairns Ture

Vores tur blev forsinket med en time på grund af dårligt vejr (ret usædvanligt, da vinteren skulle være "tørsæsonen"), men ærligt talt traf de den rigtige beslutning! Vi havde et kort vindue med acceptabelt vejr og god sigtbarhed over revene. Piloten Jesse var meget venlig og munter; han lod mig sidde ved siden af ham, da jeg rejste alene, og ærligt talt gjorde det oplevelsen så meget bedre! Det var også en af de blødeste landinger, jeg nogensinde har oplevet med et fly; jeg bemærkede ikke engang, at vi allerede var på hjul på landingsbanen. Kan varmt anbefale denne tur! Men tillad lidt fleksibilitet i din tidsplan, da det er en meget vejrafhængig aktivitet: hold øje med vejrudsigten 2-3 dage før du fastlåser en dato.

We had an absolutely fantastic hot air ballooning experience. The entire crew—Bob, Brownie, and Gavin—were incredibly helpful, friendly, and funny, making the whole trip enjoyable from start to finish. Their professionalism and sense of humor helped everyone feel comfortable and relaxed. The flight itself was exceptionally smooth, and the views were breathtaking. Watching the sunrise from above was truly unforgettable and worth every minute of the early start. Even those who are nervous about heights or flying will likely feel at ease, as the ride is gentle and surprisingly calm. Overall, it was a wonderful experience that exceeded our expectations. A big thank you to Bob, Brownie, and Gavin for making it such a memorable adventure. Highly recommended!

Sikke en helt utrolig oplevelse! I går havde jeg muligheden for at nyde en 30-minutters naturskøn helikoptertur over Great Barrier Reef med Zoom Helicopters, og det var simpelthen betagende! At se det fantastiske turkisblå vand, de smukke koralrev og de spektakulære udsigter ovenfra var simpelthen magisk. Hvert øjeblik af flyveturen var spændende, og landskabet var ubeskriveligt. Det var helt bestemt en af de mest mindeværdige oplevelser i mit liv! Hele oplevelsen var sjov, spændende og det hele værd. De 30 minutter fløj af sted, og jeg ville ønske, at turen havde varede længere! Kan varmt anbefale Zoom Helicopters til alle, der besøger Great Barrier Reef. Det er en oplevelse for livet, som man ikke må gå glip af! Tak til Zoom Helicopters for sådan et fantastisk eventyr! 🚁💙🌴

Da jeg var usikker på at svømme, valgte jeg pakken med glasbundbåd og snorkling! Glasbundbåden var fantastisk, man kunne bare kigge ned og se smukke fisk og havskildpadder ✨ Til snorkling betalte jeg et ekstra gebyr (12 AUD) for at låne en livredder-vest! Bare ved at svømme lidt væk var der stimer af farverige fisk, og det var en helt særlig oplevlese at prøve at svømme selv 🥹 (Selve fiskene var faktisk flottest at se fra glasbundbåden!) Man kunne betale med kreditkort for det hele: møntbokse, kiosk og spisesteder!

We joined the stargazing tour and really enjoyed it. Stargazing depends a lot on luck and weather, so we were very grateful that the conditions were good on the night we went. The experience felt really special because it was so dark at the location that we could only see the silhouettes of the trees, with the distant brightness coming from Cairns city. Lying on a picnic mat under the open sky and looking up at what felt like countless stars was such a peaceful and unforgettable moment. Our guide was very passionate and knowledgeable, which made the tour even better. He shared useful tips on how to take photos of the stars, lent us his binoculars, and pointed out different stars and constellations, especially Scorpio. He also showed us the Milky Way, which was amazing to see. It was a very meaningful experience and something different from the usual sightseeing activities in Cairns. I recommend it if you enjoy nature, quiet moments, and learning more about the night sky.

We saw so much in one day!Admittedly, it can feel a little rushed at times but that's the only way to fit everything in. Sheryl was an amazing tour guide! Her passion for her work, her love for the rainforest, and her respect for the Indigenous people and culture was evident in the way she spoke and interacted with everyone. I did not have high expectation fo the included lunch but it was quite delicious! I also overheard someone else say the same. 10/10

The overall schedule was well-arranged; it was packed but not too rushed. We took the train up the mountain, and since the Skyrail was under maintenance, we rode a short section of it (still very spectacular) before taking a shuttle bus down. There were many rich and varied activities, including the Kuranda Market, an Aboriginal boomerang and dance performance, and instrument playing. There was also a World War II amphibious vehicle experience. Overall, it was very worthwhile! I also added on the koala holding experience, which was super cute! The tour guide also provided explanations along the way!

Kuranda is a small town. Not as vibrant because not all shops open. Time is quite tight. Nice wildlife park. The 2 kangaroos are very docile and open for closeup photos. There are 2 staffs that came out to share about their animals (Jack and the blue tongue lizard). Boomerang throw is great fun. Highlight is the DUKW tour as the guide/driver shares their wealth of knowledge of the plants in the rainforest. Thumbs up! Great for whole family

Had a wonderful day with Carsten! The trip was very well organized, and what made it even more enjoyable was our guide and driver, who was incredibly fun, friendly, and entertaining. There was never a dull moment throughout the journey. Thank you, Carsten, for such a memorable and enjoyable experience!
