Reviews: Australia Cairns Daintree Rainforest + Mossman Gorge Cultural Centre + Cape Tribulation 1-day tour with English-speaking guide and lunch included
Guest User2026-10-05
We were so lucky to have met Luke, a very professional guide! His decades-long background in nature research allowed him to seize every opportunity to educate us about the plants and animals we encountered during our rainforest trek. The overall itinerary for the day trip was perfect – a good amount of exercise without being tiring, and the timing of each activity was well-planned. It was a very enjoyable experience!★

Reviews: Limited-time offer Raging Thunder - Tully River Rafting in Cairns instructor + equipment + dinner transfer/self-drive
Guest User2026-01-04
The tour experience was wonderful, and the guide tried his best to communicate with us, even using a bit of Japanese. It was my first time rafting, but it was a very good experience. However, the address of the hotel where we were originally supposed to be picked up did not match, so I was confused. The staff at the meeting point kindly contacted me and picked me up safely, so I was glad I was able to participate. This is important information, so please respond.★

Reviews: Cairns Magic Reef Great Barrier Reef 1-day tour with snorkeling, lunch, glass-bottom boat, and semi-submarine
Guest User2026-10-29
A full-day trip to Magic Reef was the best thing that ever happened to us in Cairns. The boat takes us to a pontoon, and for five hours we enjoy everything we can, snorkeling, diving, a glass-bottom boat, and even a fish-feeding show. We had a delicious lunch with fruit and shrimp. We were touched by the friendliness of the crew; everyone was so nice and ready to help at any time.★

Reviews: Cairns Green Island Great Barrier Reef Big Cat half-day tour snorkeling/glass bottom boat
Guest User2026-10-27
I signed my father up for the trip. He's 63 and traveling alone, and he was completely satisfied with the itinerary. He had a perfect snorkeling experience, truly felt the beauty of Green Island, and the crew took excellent care of him, even checking on his physical condition before the snorkeling session.★

Reviews: Australia Kuranda Scenic Cable Car + Railway Day Tour [Including Transfers/Multiple Departure Points]
Guest User2026-05-04
Driver arrived on time for pick up and drop off. Going up the skyrail take in the breathtaking views of the dense forestation is quite an experience. Kuranda is a small village with shopping along the stores.railway station is just a stone throw from the village. Overall quite a good day trip.★

Reviews: Cairns Great Barrier Reef + Fitzroy Island 1-day tour
Guest User2026-10-27
I traveled to Cairns with my father, and we booked different itineraries on the same day. He didn't want to walk, so he went to Green Island on the Big Cat, while I chose Emerald Island because I wanted to experience some rainforest and kayaking. It was definitely worth the trip. Emerald Island has a very diverse landscape, from the Jellyfish Sea to the beach to the rainforest. Overall, I was very satisfied with the trip!
