Today's trip was very smooth and enjoyable. The tour guide, Oscar, clearly and vividly explained the characteristics and precautions of each spot, especially the information about the rainforest on the amphibious gondola, which was very rich and interesting. I even saw a blue butterfly! I feel this activity was convenient and cost-effective. Worth praising! 👍👍👍

Most of the people in the tour group were older folks, and I originally thought the trip would be boring, but it was surprisingly fun. The cost already included the Kuranda Scenic Railway, which is usually difficult to book for independent travelers. The ride lasted over an hour, and there were photo opportunity stops along the way. The crew on the National Park's amphibious vehicle were very enthusiastic and introduced various aspects of the rainforest along the way. In addition, you can purchase a separate photo session with a koala, and you can also freely interact with kangaroos and take photos with them. The return trip on the Skyrail took 45 minutes, and there were two stations where you could get off, walk around, and take pictures, allowing you to appreciate the rainforest from a completely different perspective, which was very worthwhile. Overall, the itinerary was well-organized and the time allocation was just right.

The tour company is very thoughtful and emails again a few days before departure to confirm the time, location, and pickup. Also, they hand out instructions and admission tickets with each person's name when taking attendance on site. This ensures everyone knows where to meet for departure. Very clear.

They were so incredibly kind and helpful. I was really impressed when I saw them personally helping someone in a wheelchair. Even though the tour was in English, they explained things in a way that was easy to understand. Highly recommend!

Well-planned, the driver explained the itinerary in detail and patiently helped solve problems. The rainforest station's zoo and experience were quite interesting, but Kuranda town was a bit boring.

It was a great day out! Highly recommended if you want to see a crocodile up close. Fantastic tour around the lagoon and staff were very friendly!

Excellent tour! Paul, the guide, is very knowledgeable. Follow his instructions and you will see heaps of wildlife 🤍 Having dinner all together is also a nice, enjoyable break.

I was deeply moved by the starry sky, which was more amazing than I imagined! The explanations of the stars were easy to understand, and they also carefully taught me tips on how to take pictures, so I was able to take beautiful photos. I'm so glad I participated.

What to know before visiting Cairns
Best Cairns Attractions
Great Barrier Reef
When you visit Cairns, exploring the Great Barrier Reef is a must. You can join a boat tour to snorkel or dive among bright coral and tropical fish. It’s one of the best ways to experience the natural beauty around Cairns.
Cairns Esplanade & Lagoon
The Cairns Esplanade is a popular waterfront area where you can walk, bike, or relax by the sea. You can cool off at the Cairns Esplanade Lagoon, a large saltwater pool that’s perfect for swimming year-round. When you’re in Cairns, this is one of the best free spots to enjoy the city’s outdoor lifestyle.
Kuranda Scenic Railway & Skyrail
A trip to the rainforest village of Kuranda is one of the top things to do in Cairns. You can ride the Kuranda Scenic Railway, which takes you through waterfalls and mountains, then return on the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway, gliding above the treetops. This gives you amazing views of the rainforest near Cairns.
Cairns Botanic Gardens
The Cairns Botanic Gardens is the perfect place to see rare tropical plants and learn about the rainforest environment. When you visit Cairns, you can walk through shaded paths, explore different garden sections, and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. It’s a great spot for nature lovers and anyone looking for a quiet escape.
Cairns Aquarium
The Cairns Aquarium is a fun and educational attraction where you can learn about reef creatures and rainforest wildlife. When you're in Cairns, this is a great place to see sharks, rays, jellyfish, and even freshwater animals up close. It’s perfect for families and a great indoor activity on rainy days
Tips before visiting Cairns
Prepare for the tropical weather
Cairns has a warm and humid climate, so pack light clothing, sunscreen, and a hat. If you visit during the wet season, be ready for sudden rain and higher humidity
Plan your reef and rainforest tours early
Popular activities like Great Barrier Reef trips, Kuranda tours, and Daintree day trips can sell out fast. When you visit Cairns, it’s best to book these experiences ahead of time so you get the dates and times you want
Stay safe while swimming
If you're visiting during stinger season (November to March), always wear a stinger suit when swimming in the ocean. You can still swim safely at the Cairns Esplanade Lagoon or on certain islands with protected swimming areas.
Get a convenient Australia eSIM
For easy internet access and navigation in Cairns, consider buying an Australia eSIM on Klook. It’s quick to set up on your phone and helps you stay connected during tours, driving, and exploring around the city
