Cairns Päiväretket

We saw so much in one day!Admittedly, it can feel a little rushed at times but that's the only way to fit everything in. Sheryl was an amazing tour guide! Her passion for her work, her love for the rainforest, and her respect for the Indigenous people and culture was evident in the way she spoke and interacted with everyone. I did not have high expectation fo the included lunch but it was quite delicious! I also overheard someone else say the same. 10/10

Osallistuimme tähtienkatselukierrokselle ja nautimme siitä todella. Tähtienkatselu riippuu paljon tuurista ja säästä, joten olimme erittäin kiitollisia, että olosuhteet olivat hyvät sinä iltana, kun menimme. Kokemus tuntui todella erityiseltä, koska paikalla oli niin pimeää, että näimme vain puiden siluetit, ja kaukainen kirkkaus tuli Cairnsin kaupungista. Piknikmatolla makaaminen avoimen taivaan alla ja ylöspäin katsominen lukemattomilta tuntuvia tähtiä oli niin rauhallinen ja unohtumaton hetki. Oppaamme oli erittäin intohimoinen ja asiantunteva, mikä teki kierroksesta entistäkin paremman. Hän jakoi hyödyllisiä vinkkejä tähtien valokuvaamiseen, lainasi meille kiikarinsa ja osoitti eri tähtiä ja tähtikuvioita, erityisesti Skorpionia. Hän näytti meille myös Linnunradan, joka oli upea näky. Se oli erittäin merkityksellinen kokemus ja jotain erilaista Cairnsin tavanomaisista nähtävyyksistä. Suosittelen sitä, jos nautit luonnosta, rauhallisista hetkistä ja haluat oppia lisää yötaivaasta.

The overall schedule was well-arranged; it was packed but not too rushed. We took the train up the mountain, and since the Skyrail was under maintenance, we rode a short section of it (still very spectacular) before taking a shuttle bus down. There were many rich and varied activities, including the Kuranda Market, an Aboriginal boomerang and dance performance, and instrument playing. There was also a World War II amphibious vehicle experience. Overall, it was very worthwhile! I also added on the koala holding experience, which was super cute! The tour guide also provided explanations along the way!

Had a wonderful day with Carsten! The trip was very well organized, and what made it even more enjoyable was our guide and driver, who was incredibly fun, friendly, and entertaining. There was never a dull moment throughout the journey. Thank you, Carsten, for such a memorable and enjoyable experience!

Kuranda is a small town. Not as vibrant because not all shops open. Time is quite tight. Nice wildlife park. The 2 kangaroos are very docile and open for closeup photos. There are 2 staffs that came out to share about their animals (Jack and the blue tongue lizard). Boomerang throw is great fun. Highlight is the DUKW tour as the guide/driver shares their wealth of knowledge of the plants in the rainforest. Thumbs up! Great for whole family

Had a very smooth experience with this travel operator. Had my pick up and drop off on time. The shuttle was good and the instructions were also easy to follow.

It was a well-scheduled and efficient tour. The shuttle bus driver was extremely kind and patiently accommodated our poor English. We also added the koala-holding experience as an option. Although round-trip transportation was included, we took the train back on the return trip. It was a thoroughly satisfying day.

Our guide, Ian, was an excellent person. He was so patient and had so much information about all the waterfalls.

The road was extremely rough, so if you get motion sickness easily, it would be best to take medication beforehand or perhaps not participate at all. The tour content itself was very substantial and excellent.
