Things to do in Cairns

I went on a snorkeling tour. It included boat transportation to and from the island, snorkeling gear rental on the island, and access to showers and a swimming pool there. For lunch, I had Thai food that I bought at the night market the day before. The snorkeling was truly wonderful. The water was very shallow, with lots of coral, and I saw turtles, stingrays, sharks, giant clams, and lionfish. There were many other fish as well. It was a bit cold due to the strong wind and lower water temperature, but I was able to warm up again on the sandy beach.

I came to Australia for a solo trip to go skydiving. The original date I booked a month in advance was canceled due to operational reasons, and I was asked to reschedule, which also extended my itinerary. However, I still believe it was absolutely worth it to go skydiving. The scenery was incredibly beautiful and truly breathtaking. Although my instructor was a foreigner, they explained everything thoroughly, making it the best experience of my life and an amazing trip. It was around 8:30 AM in late May, and my attire of a T-shirt under a hoodie with long pants was just right. While it was hot on the ground, it's very windy at altitude, so I recommend wearing long sleeves for the jump. Facilities: We met at the site, watched an instructional video, stored our belongings in lockers, and then met our instructors. We then drove to the jump site in a car, with about six people per group.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of the Daintree Rainforest and Mossman Gorge with Ben. He was incredibly knowledgeable about every place we visited, and his explanations added so much depth to the experience. Ben was professional, well organised and genuinely friendly throughout the day, which made the tour feel relaxed and enjoyable. The scenery was absolutely magnificent, and Ben’s guidance helped us appreciate it even more. We couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide — highly recommended.

Great Tour, very comfortable ship, good Team, good food, very good Overall experience!! Very Special thanks to Simon!! Great German Guido who helped us with our 6year or Child to See everything during the snorkeling! Outstanding guide, he is the Best, especially if you Need help around the Boat and or snorkeling!

Sea was choppy and many got seasick to the first reef. The staff from Evolution were friendly and professional in their role and how they handle the seasick situation. Activities like snokelling and diving were conducted safely and professionally. Staff that were not involved in the sea activities but were on deck were also keeping a look out at the activities. Lunch "looks" delicious but were too seasick to enjoy. Thumbs up and highly recommended.

Wonderful experience! Well ogranized for over 100 passsengers, from safety, seating, equipment to lunch and afternoon tea. Great for our first time snorkelling, and staff were friendly. unfortunately, the helicopter was cancelled due to the weather but everything else was good. Even though we got really seasick (although we took tablets), it was totally worth it!

We had a wonderful experience on the Kuranda Scenic Railway! The journey was relaxing and enjoyable, and it was a great way to take in the beautiful surroundings and experience a piece of Queensland’s history. The train ride itself was very charming and made the trip to Kuranda feel extra special. There was some construction along parts of the route that affected a few of the scenic views, but overall, we still had a lovely time and really enjoyed the experience. Definitely a memorable activity and something I would recommend to anyone visiting the area.

View of Daintree rainforest from the sky. we switched to 2-way Cable car as the return train ride was pretty late and we were staying at Port Douglas. There were 3 stops and we could see Baron Falls plus walk around the Kurang Village.

the sea turtle hospital is very educational and worthwhile to go
