Cairns Túrák

Since I was a bit nervous about swimming, I opted for the glass-bottom boat and snorkeling package! The glass-bottom boat was amazing; just looking down, I could see beautiful fish and sea turtles, which was truly breathtaking. For snorkeling, I paid an additional AUD 12 to rent a life vest! Just a short distance away, there were schools of colorful fish, and swimming among them myself was a completely different experience. (The fish themselves were actually clearer to see from the glass-bottom boat!) Coin lockers, the souvenir shop, and restaurants all accepted credit card payments!

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

We joined the stargazing tour and really enjoyed it. Stargazing depends a lot on luck and weather, so we were very grateful that the conditions were good on the night we went. The experience felt really special because it was so dark at the location that we could only see the silhouettes of the trees, with the distant brightness coming from Cairns city. Lying on a picnic mat under the open sky and looking up at what felt like countless stars was such a peaceful and unforgettable moment. Our guide was very passionate and knowledgeable, which made the tour even better. He shared useful tips on how to take photos of the stars, lent us his binoculars, and pointed out different stars and constellations, especially Scorpio. He also showed us the Milky Way, which was amazing to see. It was a very meaningful experience and something different from the usual sightseeing activities in Cairns. I recommend it if you enjoy nature, quiet moments, and learning more about the night sky.

A túránk egy órát késett a rossz időjárás miatt (ami elég szokatlan, tekintve, hogy a tél elvileg a „száraz évszak”), de őszintén szólva jól döntöttek! Volt egy rövid időszak, amikor az időjárás megfelelő volt, és jól láttuk a zátonyokat. Jesse, a pilóta nagyon kedves és vidám volt; mellé ültetett, látva, hogy egyedül utazom, és őszintén szólva ez sokkal jobbá tette az élményt! Ráadásul ez volt az egyik legsimább leszállás, amit valaha repülőgéppel tapasztaltam; észre sem vettem, hogy már a kifutópályán gurulunk. Nagyon ajánlom ezt a túrát! De hagyjon némi rugalmasságot az időbeosztásában, mivel ez egy nagyon időjárásfüggő tevékenység: figyelje az előrejelzést 2-3 nappal a dátum véglegesítése előtt.

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

Teljesen fantasztikus hőlégballonozási élményben volt részünk. Az egész személyzet – Bob, Brownie és Gavin – hihetetlenül segítőkész, barátságos és vicces volt, így az egész utazás a kezdetektől a végéig élvezetes volt. Professzionalizmusuk és humorérzékük segített mindenkinek abban, hogy kényelmesen és nyugodtan érezze magát. Maga a repülés kivételesen sima volt, és a kilátás lélegzetelállító. A napfelkelte fentről való megfigyelése valóban felejthetetlen volt, és megérte a korai kelés minden percét. Még azok is valószínűleg jól érzik majd magukat, akik félnek a magasságtól vagy a repüléstől, mivel az utazás gyengéd és meglepően nyugodt. Összességében egy csodálatos élmény volt, amely felülmúlta várakozásainkat. Hatalmas köszönet Bobnak, Brownie-nak és Gavinnek, hogy ilyen emlékezetes kalanddá tették. Nagyon ajánlott!

What an absolutely incredible experience! Yesterday, I had the opportunity to enjoy a 30-minute scenic helicopter ride over the Great Barrier Reef with Zoom Helicopters, and it was truly breathtaking! Seeing the stunning turquoise waters, beautiful coral reefs, and spectacular views from above was simply magical. Every moment of the flight was exciting, and the scenery was beyond words. It was definitely one of the most memorable experiences of my life! The whole experience was fun, thrilling, and absolutely worth it. Those 30 minutes flew by so quickly, and I wished the ride could have lasted longer! Highly recommend Zoom Helicopters to anyone visiting the Great Barrier Reef. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience that you shouldn’t miss! Thank you, Zoom Helicopters, for such an amazing adventure! 🚁💙🌴
