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

Today's trip was very smooth and enjoyable. The tour guide, Oscar, clearly and vividly explained the characteristics and precautions of each spot, especially the information about the rainforest on the amphibious gondola, which was very rich and interesting. I even saw a blue butterfly! I feel this activity was convenient and cost-effective. Worth praising! 👍👍👍

the overall experience was great. and a tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and very informative. Got to experience the oldest rainforest and the best scenic driveway was unbelievable stup. I loved the experience and would recommend it to everyone.🙌

All the crew along the way were very friendly and professional, with staff of different nationalities, and even a very kind Hong Kong crew. Although it was raining inland, it was clear and sunny when we got to the center of the sea. We went to two reefs along the way, and an introductory dive was arranged. There was a detailed explanation first, and then an instructor took three guests, ensuring safety throughout the whole process. A photographer was underwater capturing everyone's photos all the time. I recommend adding the helicopter experience, which is definitely an unforgettable view. The facilities on the boat were cleaner than expected. I also strongly suggest buying seasickness pills for three Australian dollars per person in advance.

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!

This company is Down Under Cruise & Dive, and the boat is the Evolution. The first dive site will be either Saxon or Norman Reef, and the second will be Hastings Reef. Lunch is excellent, with steak, fish, shrimp, and salad. On the return trip, there will be cheese, crackers, and a glass of red/white wine. The overall itinerary is well-organized, and although there are many tourists (150+), it doesn't feel chaotic. Safety measures are good, with lifeguards monitoring and headcounts taken before leaving each site. Staff constantly patrol and ask if everyone is okay. Scuba divers are seated on the second level, while snorkelers are on the first. Certified divers can purchase a second or third dive ($80). Certified divers will be led by a dive guide, which is mandatory, so there's an on-site payment required ($10). The boat sells motion sickness medication, beverages, alcoholic drinks, waterproof phone pouches, etc. The staff all speak English, so it's best to have a certain level of English proficiency.

Avoid the crowded times, the staff explained everything in detail, which enhanced a lot of knowledge. If you are interested in the marine world, it is really worth a visit. Inside the aquarium, there are many different kinds of marine life, and the environment is very beautiful.

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.

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.
