It is very convenient to leave from the city pier, the speedboat trip is unforgettable, and I will come back next time!
Reviews: Cairns Sunlover Reef Cruises 1-day tour [double reef + Ferris wheel/variety show same style/glass bottom boat/diving and snorkeling/buffet lunch/semi-submarine/helicopter sightseeing]
Guest User2025-06-03
It's pretty good, including round-trip boat tickets to Emerald Island, lunch and snorkeling. There is plenty of time to play and the service is also very good!
Reviews: Cairns helicopter and light aircraft sightseeing tour [Great Barrier Reef/Kuranda Rainforest/Marine life]
Guest User2024-04-06
How can I come to Cairns without seeing the beautiful Great Barrier Reef? Helicopters have to be arranged, the sky overlooking the entire Great Barrier Reef is really great, the view is very good, the helicopter is a bit noisy
Reviews: Cairns hot air balloon ride with sunrise views - 40–60 min flight experience (includes taxes + optional hotel transfers)
Guest User2025-11-04
It was better than I expected! It was my first time to ride a hot air balloon, and the view was truly spectacular. I was glad I participated because I was able to see wild animals like wallabies and horses, and I would definitely participate again if I ever come to Cairns. It was also great that I was able to enjoy myself right up until the last moment before I left! I was grateful that they took me to the airport. A Japanese person was there the whole time, explaining everything to me, so I was able to participate with peace of mind. They also communicated with me via SMS right up until the last moment before the trip, which made things go smoothly on the day. Thank you very much!
