Ting at lave i Cairns

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!

I was initially worried about finding the shuttle, but it was the bus with the rafting picture on it, so it was easy to spot. When you board, they'll confirm your details and ask if you need to rent shoes; you can also wear your own flip-flops. Along the way, there are stops for restrooms and a small town called Tully, where you can buy food and find a supermarket for lunch. Afterward, we continued to our destination. As soon as we got off the bus, we put on the wetsuits, thermal vests, life vests, and helmets they provided. It was great because the thermal vests were very warm. You need to wear your own pants (it's best to wear your swimsuit underneath). On the bus, they'll tell you who your instructor is, and once you're geared up, you can find them directly. Outdoor activities really depend on the instructor, so having a good one makes it a lot of fun! On the way back, we also stopped at a restaurant for dinner, and then we looked at the day's photos. You can split the cost of the photos with others on your boat, so it's quite a good deal, and the pictures turned out great! Safety: Very safe! We wore life vests, and the instructors were very professional!

vores guides navn var John. Vi havde en af de bedste oplevelser nogensinde. Rejseselskabet var rigtig godt, men en stor tak til vores guide John, som gjorde det rigtig sjovt og eventyrligt. Han er utrolig vidende og har fuldstændig styr på det. Denne tur havde ikke været fantastisk uden ham. Mange tak, og vi vil helt klart anbefale den.

Betjeningen var hurtig og bekvem. Toget gjorde holdt ved Barron Falls-stationen, så vi kunne se os omkring. Husk på, at vejret til tider kan blive blæsende (især når det går opad), så hav en let jakke og hue med dig. Ved ankomsten til Kuranda vil du have ca. 3-4 timer til at gå på opdagelse.

Udsigt over Daintree regnskoven fra himlen. Vi skiftede til 2-vejs svævebane, da togturen tilbage var ret sen, og vi boede i Port Douglas. Der var 3 stop, og vi kunne se Baron Falls samt gå rundt i Kuranda Village.

the aquarium is very nice with ecologists dharing knowledge of the marine life.

The onboard staff were very enthusiastic and provided detailed introductions. After boarding, we left our ID at the counter to borrow prescription diving masks. At the second dive site, we decided on the spot to pay the 20 AUD for the glass-bottom boat ride, where we saw many fish and corals. The meals on board were simple and average, so those who care about food can bring their own snacks. Also, it is recommended to take motion sickness medicine to avoid ruining a wonderful trip.

Fantastisk dagstur ved revet, vi fik stoppet ved 2 dykkersteder, og min pakke inkluderede også 1 helikopterflyvning. Operatøren havde også en fotograf, som hjalp med at tage undervandsbilleder, som man kunne købe senere (selvom det var ret dyrt til $20/billede). Frokosten var enkel (bøf, rejer, grillet fisk, salat og pasta), men lækker, og rejerne var meget friske. Hvad jeg dog ønskede kunne have været bedre, var annonceringen af helikopterflyvningen – det ville have været bedre, hvis de havde annonceret min tur cirka 10-15 minutter før flyvningen lettede, så jeg ville have haft tid nok til at skifte til normalt tøj (jeg snorklede lige inden da). Jeg mener også, at hvis passagerer får mindst 30 minutter før afgang til at tage søsygepiller, vil det virke bedre. Nogle passagerer på min tur tog pillen, men blev stadig syge, måske fordi pillen ikke havde haft tid nok til at virke (man skal tage den efter morgenmaden, mindst 30 minutter før afgang).

Overall a great experience and definitely a must to add onto your itineraries! The tour was organised and the staffs made sure everyone was having a safe and fun day at the reef. You have most of what you’ll need in the boat—sea sickness pills, drinks and snacks. We not only got to see The Great Barrier Reef upclose but also above from the Heli. 😍
