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.

Great hotel. Just felt a little old, not quite 5 stars as it says it is. Staff were very frustrating upon our check-out. We called that morning requesting a 30 mins leniancy due to a work meeting, and were given permission. However was in room for meeting and they kept on harrassing us to get out of the room within 10 mins after 11am check-out time. Very embarrassing for me during meeting and a major interruption. Unprofessional.

We arrived on an early morning flight, and the smooth check-in process was incredibly helpful. The location was excellent, and our room was very clean and comfortable! The breakfast offered a wide variety of choices, and we could even order warm egg dishes, which were delicious. The Hilton is definitely our top choice in Cairns!

I had a great stay. Location is perfect as I only did walk going to my booked activities such as sky diving and scuba diving. Only thing they need to provide is table at least inside the room as I was forced to put some of my food on the floor. I asked but they cannot provide anything. Even a foldable table would be valuable amenities inside the room. Thank you!

This is convenient for sightseeing in Cairns. It's a bit of a walk from the city center, but being close to the ocean was nice. One of the washing machines was broken, but having laundry facilities is still very convenient.

fun snorkelling, we added $89 for the guided snorkeling experience as this voucher only includes a self snorkel, suitable for experienced snorkeling. guided snorkeling fees more safe. it’s really beautiful

Downloading the app that explains the history of the Kuranda Railway and listening to it during the trip made it very interesting. There are Gold and Heritage seat grades, but I thought Heritage was sufficient. This time, it was the rainy season, so the grandeur of Barron Falls was exceptional!

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.

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
