Πράγματα που μπορείτε να κάνετε στην πόλη Cairns

Since I was a bit nervous about swimming, I opted for the glass-bottom boat and snorkeling package! The glass-bottom boat was amazing; just looking down, I could see beautiful fish and sea turtles, which was truly breathtaking. For snorkeling, I paid an additional AUD 12 to rent a life vest! Just a short distance away, there were schools of colorful fish, and swimming among them myself was a completely different experience. (The fish themselves were actually clearer to see from the glass-bottom boat!) Coin lockers, the souvenir shop, and restaurants all accepted credit card payments!

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!

our guide name was John. we had one of the best experiences ever. the tour company was really good but shout out to our guide John who made it really fun and adventurous. he is really knowledgeable and knows his stuff so well. this tour won’t have been great without him. thank you and would definitely recommend it.

Service was fast and convenient. The train made a stop at Barron Falls station for us to have a look. Do keep in mind the weather can get windy at times (especially when ascending uphill), so keep a light jacket & hat with you. Upon arriving at Kuranda you'll have roughly 3-4 hours to explore around.

Θέα του τροπικού δάσους Daintree από τον ουρανό. Αλλάξαμε σε τελεφερίκ διπλής κατεύθυνσης, καθώς η επιστροφή με το τρένο ήταν αρκετά αργά και μέναμε στο Port Douglas. Υπήρχαν 3 στάσεις και μπορούσαμε να δούμε τους καταρράκτες Baron Falls, καθώς και να περπατήσουμε γύρω από το χωριό Kuranda.

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.

Υπέροχη ημερήσια εκδρομή στον Κοραλλιογενή Ύφαλο, σταματήσαμε σε 2 σημεία για καταδύσεις και το πακέτο μου περιλάμβανε επίσης 1 πτήση με ελικόπτερο. Ο πράκτορας διαθέτει επίσης φωτογράφο, ο οποίος σας βοηθά να τραβήξετε υποβρύχιες φωτογραφίες τις οποίες μπορείτε να αγοράσετε αργότερα (αν και είναι αρκετά ακριβές στα 20 δολάρια ανά φωτογραφία). Το γεύμα είναι βασικό (μπριζόλα, γαρίδες, ψητό ψάρι, σαλάτα και ζυμαρικά) αλλά νόστιμο, και οι γαρίδες ήταν πολύ φρέσκες. Αυτό που θα ευχόμουν να ήταν καλύτερο είναι η ανακοίνωση για την πτήση με ελικόπτερο - θα ήταν προτιμότερο να ανακοίνωναν τη σειρά μου περίπου 10-15 λεπτά πριν απογειωθεί η πτήση, ώστε να έχω αρκετό χρόνο να αλλάξω σε κανονικά ρούχα (έκανα κολύμβηση με αναπνευστήρα λίγο πριν). Επίσης, πιστεύω ότι αν δοθεί στους επιβάτες διάστημα τουλάχιστον 30 λεπτών πριν από την αναχώρηση για να πάρουν χάπια για τη ναυτία, θα είναι πιο αποτελεσματικό. Ορισμένοι επιβάτες στην εκδρομή μου πήραν το χαπάκι αλλά και πάλι αρρώστησαν, ίσως επειδή το χάπι δεν είχε αρκετό χρόνο να δράσει (πρέπει να το πάρετε μετά το πρωινό, τουλάχιστον 30 λεπτά πριν από την αναχώρηση).

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. 😍
