Reviews: Cairns Magic Reef Great Barrier Reef 1-day tour with snorkeling, lunch, glass-bottom boat, and semi-submarine
Guest User2025-11-08
The so-called "Chinese-speaking tour" is actually just a confirmation email sent to your phone by the merchant after you've successfully purchased and paid for the tickets. It lists the activities included in the package. However, there's virtually no Chinese-speaking service throughout the trip; it's essentially like buying two packages and then traveling entirely independently. On the boat and on the Great Barrier Reef platform, those who speak good English can learn more about the activities and have a smoother experience, while those who don't can just go with the flow. The overall experience of this tour wasn't as great as I had imagined beforehand; this varies from person to person because everyone's past experiences and expectations are different.★

Reviews: [Limited-Time Special for Kids] Cairns Great Barrier Reef Sunlover Day Tour with Optional Helicopter Ride
Guest User2025-04-30
Great value sun lover day trip, great.
The scenery on the way out by boat is super beautiful, the buffet tastes good, there are many tricks, and the tube is full and enough. The crew service is also very thoughtful, and they are very patient to help take pictures and answer questions. The helicopter must experience it, beyond the unexpected surprise, from the sky to see the sea and coral reefs, the view is super shocking! Snorkeling also saw a lot of beautiful small fish, but also met turtles!
A day to be full and happy, highly recommended!Trip.com Picks
