TaraYou must visit the 130 million year old Daintree Rainforest if you’re in tropical North Queensland! We went on a day trip from Port Douglas in a hire car. You can spend a whole day there if you plan properly or if you want longer there are multiple camp spots or eco lodges but one day could be enough. Book a croc river tour in the morning with Crocodile Express or Bruce Belcher’s tours which we did. Then drive towards Cape Tribulation by going across the river by ferry and stopping at the Daintree Discovery Centre, you’ll need an hour or so there to make the entry fee of about $30AUD worth it. Continue towards Cape Tribulation stopping at the boardwalk walks that take about 20mins each (there’s about 3 along the way). Grab some organic ice cream while you take in the sounds and smells of the one of the world’s oldest rainforests!

KDMMIt is recommended to live in Shangri-La, it is convenient to eat and walk around, 200 meters from the pier. The outer Barrier Reef is worth going, and you have to go early. Now the coral color is less, the activity is degraded, and the effect of going late is even worse. Merchant service is very good, always track orders.

德新个个This time the Cairns Sun Lovers Great Barrier Reef cruise ship is the right cruise ship company. It is very attentive. After playing and enjoying the viewing of different ships on the Great Barrier Reef, I am very satisfied and excited. I spent a perfect day and will come back when I have time. Thank you for the hard work of the ship staff.

旅あんつLooking around, it was a village full of nature, and the road from Cairns city to arrival was great! !! !! 🌿 However, it was very hot at the end of October, so ice cream was essential 🤣

董小姐Very good itinerary. The land car driver is very interesting. The price set by Trip.com is cheaper than the on-site. It is highly recommended for this trip. The zoo can observe the koala kangaroo up close and touch it.

K. JonesyBreathtakingly views! The railway trip was reallynice. Be careful of the weather because it was hot for us so when you aren’t moving just be careful. There are shops before you get on the train so if you don’t have drinks be sure to grab them. There is so much history given and it’s a wonderful experience! You will really enjoy it !

yangduoduo17We had booked the train/light rail trip for the day. Unfortunately the weather was frightening and it rained all day. We arrived at the Skyrail centre in Smithfield and their bus to Freshwater Station was in good condition. After the train trip, we walked around Kuranda and had lunch at a local cafe. We booked our tickets late in the afternoon to return via Skyrail. Fortunately, they made us return early. The staff was pleasant. The reviews you can download to your phone are great. Unfortunately the weather was so bad we could only see a few meters ahead. Nevertheless, the trip on the treetops was pleasant. At the two stops down, they were all equipped with umbrellas, and the trail was not bad, but the visibility was too bad. If the weather is clear, do it again, it would be great.

juki235Tancui Tree National Park, also known as the Tancui Rainforest, is a dense subtropical virgin forest. It is a very good walkway, you can breathe the fresh air, enjoy the beautiful scenery around, and explore the rare wildlife. It is a good place to relax.

Anonymous UserAlthough the boat journey is large, it feels worth it after arriving at the Great Barrier Reef! The water is very clear and the corals are very diverse; there are also different fish. The sea is large and snorkeling is more difficult. It will be more fun if you choose a non-rainy season!

旅あんつAs expected, there were creatures in the rainforest in Cairns and aquariums, and the more interesting I looked at it, the more interesting I looked at it. 😂 And the colorful coral was beautiful! (This is a living coral! !! laughter)
