Reviews: Cairns Kuranda Tropical Rainforest Park and Rainforest Town day tour (optional koala hug or lunch)
Guest User2025-07-02
With the guidance of Chinese tour guide Oscar, the day trip is easy to complete. The Kuranda rainforest attractions are a bit scattered, and it is more convenient to have a guide. It is set to pick up and drop off. For the first time, you don't have to worry about the traffic problem of the journey. It is very worry-free. Oscar is very enthusiastic and very nice, because I have to rent a car at the airport and help send it over. There is an introduction to the rainforest, the land car is very fun, the indigenous performance can participate in the moth, the whole trip is quite interesting.★

Reviews: National Day Availability: Cairns Sunlover Reef Cruises Great Barrier Reef Day Tour #Official Direct Booking with Lunch Included
Guest User2025-08-04
It is worth the experience, recommend every friend who comes to Cairns to choose to go to sea. The children like it very much. The water slide (it is said that all cruise ships are unique), snorkeling, we saw the sea turtle swimming around, very healing. There is a period of departure that is a bit uncomfortable, and there is no feeling on the return trip. I don't know if the body is adapting to it or is it a problem with the flow.★

Reviews: Cairns Sunlover Fitzroy Island one-day tour[Optional Snorkeling/Lunch|Emerald Island]
Guest User2025-09-10
Easy to book with lots of options to suit your needs. We chose the transfer and snorkelling gear package. Just be mindful that you mind have to pick up the gear from other boat before heading to the one that will take you to the island. If you have a big family and kids, it might be problematic to take all of this stuff with you and walk to the boat. The boat was packed and we struggled to find a place to sit with all of this stuff, and had to seat separately. Apart from that the experience was great, the island is beautiful and you can see the reef and all the sea life. The beach itself is covered in washed away corals, which is beautiful but you might need coral shoes or crocs to make it easier to walk. You can also hike up the mountain or Nudey beach and the view and water is stunning. The food and water are pricey but you take take it with you from land.★

Reviews: [National Day Seats Available] Cairns Reef Fantasy Great Barrier Reef Cruise #Official Direct Signature | Free Snorkeling Lunch
Guest User2025-07-17
I enjoyed diving in helicopters! I was able to enjoy the spectacular view of the Great Barrier Reef from both the sky and the sea and had the best day. I think it was really nice to be able to go to the beauty of the sea of the outer reef. The lunch buffet was also delicious with color 々. The cold watermelon was especially delicious and I got a lot! I was also happy with the tea and tea confectionery service on the return ship.
