Worth it!

5.00If you only have 3 days in Cairns, this is the trip for you! It’s worth the money and more! My trip started with off with Discovery Tour with Lawerence to Mossman Gorge, Daintree Rainforest, and Cape Tribulation. Lawerence was an excellent guide. He was very knowledgeable about the Cairns’ history and of the plants we saw. He took good care of us. My trip to the Great Barrier Reef had a rough start with miscommunication but once that cleared up, it was smooth sailing. The crew on the Reef Experience was great. They really took great care of us and made sure safety was their priority. If you are able, make sure to join Megan in her biologist tour. My trip on the Skyrail and train was great! I had enough time in between to visit all three Kuranda Koala Gardens, Butterfly Garden, and Birdworld.
A wonderful three days!

5.00Our tour guide for the Daintree was amazing 'Jim? James' - he made the trip. He is a specialist in Dad jokes. The Reef Experience Crew were professional, fun, communicated super well and were a joy. We didn't even snorkel due to illness, but still had a wonderful time. The Gondola ride is a must. Everyone should do it. Very happy with the whole 3 day tour and would recommend.
Trip of a lifetime from UK

5.00Aged 78 I snorkelling for the first time on Great Barrier Reef. The crew are brilliant as would not have done it on my own. The rainforest, train and cable car gave us an unforgettable experience.
Good but room for improvement

3.00Overall it was pretty good. I wish we had bit more of an itinerary of what the day was going to look like and when things would happen to make planning of the day easier ( we didn’t know what time we would be done for the day so couldn’t make dinner plans etc.). I wish we had more free time snorkelling as it felt very rushed and like I didn’t really have much time between having to be close by for my scuba dive, have lunch and wait for the glass bottom boat. Some of the staff were super helpful whilst some didn’t seem to know what they were doing. The Daintree day could’ve been shorter or had a different mode of transport (within reason of course), it felt like a lot of travel for not much in return, especially when similar things were to be seen in Kuranda. In contrast I wish Kuranda was a little longer even if only an hour max. Whilst it was still enjoyable it felt like we had to be go go go and we only just made the bus back in time by pure chance as it wasn’t super clear how much time we had to get out and explore on the sky rail.
This Tour is a "Must Do"

5.00This is an awesome, action packed three days in Cairns. Our favorite part was the Daintree Rainforest Tour. It was so much more than just Daintree. Our guide, Steve made the very long day super enjoyable. Make sure you bring motion sickness pills for the great barrier reef tour, and lots of sunscreen. All of the meals provided were hearty and tasty. You could not ask for a better way to be introduced to Cairns. Cannot recommend enough. 11 stars!
