Reviews: Cairns Barron River Rafting half-day tour [hot tea & coffee | optional hotel transfers | adventure game]
Guest User2025-10-22
It's a very suitable rafting trip for beginners. It's also suitable for couples, friends and families. The probability of capsizing is very low. The scenery is beautiful. The biggest regret is that I didn't bring a sports camera to take pictures. It's really too beautiful.★

Reviews: Cairns Great Barrier Reef 1-day tour with Silverswift [Optional scuba diving]
Guest User2024-03-30
The outer Barrier Reef is really beautiful, and the corals are all colored. The reason why I chose sliver swift must be because of the professionalism, Yinyan is simply a gospel for diving lovers. After close contact with the coral, I will find that the original "Coral Sea" really exists!★

Reviews: Cairns Green Island Big Cat half-day tour (morning/afternoon snorkeling)
Guest User2026-01-31
Since we only had a short stay, we decided to take a quick afternoon tour. The boat ride to the island was very rocky due to the rain and rough weather. I got seasick and couldn't move, so I recommend taking motion sickness medicine if you are prone to seasickness. I was impressed to see sea turtles swimming gracefully nearby.Trip.com Picks
