Reviews: Cairns Magic Reef Great Barrier Reef 1-day tour with snorkeling, lunch, glass-bottom boat, and semi-submarine
Guest User2025-11-08
The so-called "Chinese-speaking tour" is actually just a confirmation email sent to your phone by the merchant after you've successfully purchased and paid for the tickets. It lists the activities included in the package. However, there's virtually no Chinese-speaking service throughout the trip; it's essentially like buying two packages and then traveling entirely independently. On the boat and on the Great Barrier Reef platform, those who speak good English can learn more about the activities and have a smoother experience, while those who don't can just go with the flow. The overall experience of this tour wasn't as great as I had imagined beforehand; this varies from person to person because everyone's past experiences and expectations are different.★

I'm so disappointed that the photo service is gone ㅠㅠ I saw the Napoleon fish that I wanted to see so badly, but I just passed by with my eyes 😭 People without a GoPro have no way to take a picture even if they saw it right in front of them 😭★

Reviews: Grand Kuranda including Skyrail and Kuranda Scenic Railway
Guest User2024-07-22
Me and my family took an army duck tour last sunday and we had a really good time. We would like to compliment your new guide Mark. He had really good and interesting comments about nature and wildlife that made the tour fun and enjoyable. We also loved other activities in Kuranda, like the Pamagirri Aboriginal experience. We learned how to throw a boomerang and we enjoyed the presentation of Aboriginal coulture. The scenic Railway had some really good views and the train to Cairns was most enjoyable. Sending love from Slovenia.★

It was a good tour. We rode the train there and the skyway back. My favorite part was the animals. So much Australian wildlife!★

Reviews: Kuranda Rainforestation & Kuranda Scenic Rail (R1BT)
Guest User2024-10-06
I went with the hope of my daughter who wanted to hold a koala. There are fewer places to hold in Australia. The koala that came out was in a good pose while being held, so I was talking to my family, "professional". The boomerang was strange, and when I threw it myself, I came back splendidly and applauded. The person who dances 々 was seriously dancing after the dance. Thank you. Amphibious cars are interesting. I have felt the signs of nature, such as a relaxing crocodile, a bird in the bath, and a plant that hurts for a month when I touch it. I went by rental car, so I was able to relax without worrying about the time. Of course, you can buy tickets locally, so it's a good idea to enjoy it on your favorite course.
