Things to do in Cairns

worth the visit , you can do so many things in a single day . good for people who don’t have much time

It was an interesting experience to go up to the top of the mountain on the Kuranda Scenic Railway. There are many activities available at the top of the mountain. I wasn't very explorative, so I ended up just going to the shops and a butterfly sanctuary. However, I believe there is much more to do there.

I was amazed on my first visit to see the genuine coral on display! It felt so real, like diving into the ocean, and the Great Barrier Reef was beautifully recreated 🌺🌊 What struck me the most was seeing fish that looked like they came straight out of "Finding Nemo" actually swimming around! I was thrilled to meet not only clownfish but also a regal tang that looked just like Dory, as well as other unique and colorful fish 😭💙 The aquarium was cool and quiet, allowing me to take my time and explore, and there were plenty of photo spots 📸 It was a great place to visit, even on a rainy day ☔🐟

Thisntour was amazing! The staff onboard the boat provided excellent service, educational presentations and wonderful buffet food. The snorkeling was absolutely beautiful and suitable for all levels of experience. If we travel back to Cairns, we’d definitely book this same tour again.

Service: Eddie's service is truly remarkable 😎 (and he's also very funny) Itinerary: But I wish there was more time for diving 🤿 (because I participated in many activities, so I could only dive once... I really regret it) Value for money: Definitely participate in all the activities on the Great Barrier Reef

Seriously great value for money! I've already recommended it to friends who are going to Cairns soon. If you want to experience rainforest adventures, indigenous culture, and unique Australian animals all in one day, this tour is definitely the best choice!

This half day trip was a great way to get out in the water and see some sea life. We primarily visited Cairns for a larger trip we booked on the reef, but this extra half day gave us some extra time snorkelling! Saw turtles on top of the water from the boat when we arrived, though weren’t lucky enough to see them under the water. Did see a ray, a reef shark, and plenty of fish! Team were kind and helpful to and from the island. It was nice to kick back with a beverage on the return.

Purchased 2 activity tour for puffing billy train, heasville and Yarra choloaterie as well as Phillip island, moonlit sanctuary, nobbies and Brighton beach boxes day tours. The tours were guided by 2 different company. Both guides were knowledgeable and multi tasked as a driver and photographer too. Redemption was fuss free. Sufficient time was provided at each stop to allow us to take photos or have meals. There were some cost savings compared to booking them individually. Recommend to purchase the pass depending whether the activities listed are places you planned to go.

We did the full-day tour with snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef and a visit to Fitzroy Island — an amazing experience! Everything was really well organised, the staff were great, and the reef itself was a true bucket list moment. Lunch was delicious and clearly labelled, which was perfect for my gluten-free partner. Fitzroy Island was beautiful. Plenty of freedom to explore the reefs as long as you follow the rules. Highly recommend!
