Cairns Water activities

For the best snorkeling, head to the rocks near the restaurant/cafe. If you're going to Nudey Beach, remember that the sand is coral, so reef shoes are a must. Even while snorkeling, it's best to wear them. It was quite busy when we visited, and although windy, the sun was out. We hiked to the Summit before snorkeling, which took us 2 hours round trip with stops. I especially enjoyed Fitzroy Island because of the hiking trails. The beach and snorkeling are decent.

Our cruise took us down the river and out to a beautiful, sun-drenched beach that was pure paradise. The views along the way were stunning, and the captain provided interesting commentary about the local area and wildlife, which was a great touch. The boat was clean and comfortable, and the journey was incredibly smooth.

I had a fantastic time with the Dreamtime Snorkel Experience. Check-in at the wharf was seamless. We visited 2 different dive sites, and the visibility was amazing that day, making for a great snorkeling experience. The buffet lunch was delicious and offered a wide variety of options. The team was very welcoming and did an amazing job with the thoughtful presentations throughout the day, including those about the local marine life and indigenous culture. They were knowledgeable and able to answer all questions with ease and passion. I added on a snorkel safari led by a marine biologist who passionately shared information about the marine life we spotted. Safety was also a priority, with multiple headcounts to ensure no one was left behind. Highly recommended!

I had a very good experience to visit great barrier reef in half day. The tour guide was fantastic, they also offer to take your picture.

Fun day out. Worth reading the reviews first so you know exactly what you’re getting. Pretty chilled out so don’t be expecting anything crazy. Few small rapids in the middle but nothing dramatic. Overall quite enjoyable. 5 star review because it’s exactly as I expected but if I hadn’t read reviews first it might be slightly less

I joined the Barron River rafting tour and was able to experience up close the majestic World Heritage-listed rainforest and the beautiful river scenery. Some parts of the river were thrilling and full of excitement, while others were calm and perfect for enjoying the views, making it suitable even for beginners. You will get completely soaked, so bringing a change of clothes is essential. If you don’t have Crocs, I recommend renting a pair on-site. The staff were friendly, and we had an amazing time filled with laughter.

Thanks Jack and the team for a great experience jetboating! One of my kids was scared but Jack was so thorough with his safety briefing and instructions there was no need for any worry or stress... and they had a ball!
