What To Expect
This75 minute guided calm-water cruise explores the stunning sights of the Trinity Inlet and waterfront of Cairns. The extensive and stunning Inlet is mountain & mangrove lined and is a sanctuary for many types of wildlife. The tour meanders through pristine creeks (the home of saltwater crocodiles) and takes in some of the quirky sites of the backwaters of Cairns too. The Cairns River Cruises vessel is spacious and carries a maximum of 14 guests - so the tour is bespoke and personal and everyone has access to the fantastic views of Cairns.
Enjoy lunch overlooking Trinity Inlet before joining your afternoon city sights tour

5.00What a fabulous way to explore the mangrove forest and sail round Admiralty Island. Joe, our skipper, was knowledgeable and entertaining. Small boat with total of 8 people, so nice to be off the tourist traps. Delicious lunch at Dundees, although had to eat quickly! The afternoon bus trip with Chris was fantastic. Explored the cathedral, just stunning. Then museum, where we could easily have spent hours (your tour ticket allows you to go back another day) then a small part of the botanic gardens. Chris explained about numerous trees and plants, all beautiful. Then scones and tea, before a drive into the hills and a panoramic view over the city. Baron Gorge not accessible currently due to landslides so unable to visit Lake Placid. But it meant we could spend longer on the beautiful beach at Palm Cove. A wonderful end to a brilliant day. So nice to be taken back to our hotel. Thank you Joe and Chris, you made our Cairns trip so memorable.
Great trip with Joe & Chris
