Reviews: Cairns Reef Magic 1-day tour [Reef Magic/Helicopter/Scuba Diving/Includes Buffet Lunch/Unlimited Snorkeling]
Guest User2026-02-22
It was a great day out! The crew were super organised and friendly, they were also very patient with the dozens of tourists who didn’t speak much English. It’s a big boat with a couple hundred tourists, so be prepared for that. Lunch was great! We had a great day out and snorkelling on the reef was just incredible.
Reviews: 40-minute Great Barrier Reef scenic flight in Cairns (with transfers) - GSL Aviation Reef Hopper
Guest User2026-04-06
Although the flight was cancelled due to the weather in the morning and we were taken back to the hotel, the weather finally cleared up in the afternoon and we took to the skies to see another view of the Great Barrier Reef. The 40-minute flight was more than enough to see and I would recommend it!
Reviews: Tully River Full-Day Rafting: Cairns, Mission Beach or Self-Drive
Guest User2024-06-09
While the rapids were Class 4 and Class 3, and there were tons of them all down the river (Making this by far the best rafting in my life!!!), the whole experience was CLASS 7!!! Our boat Guides Mezza and Aoife were both spectacular!!! The other Guides were also very cool and knowledgeable, including Andy who gave our bus our training! The Tully River is super-beautiful and natural, with a World Heritage Site on one side and a National Park on the other! The water was cool and refreshing and fun to swim in (not too cold), and the food and drink at the Felluga Hotel afterwards was awesome, plus we got to see the photos in a slideshow with the people from our boat as well as thank our Boat Guides! I recommend buying the photos - a good deal for over 100 high-quality photos of our adventure!
Reviews: Cairns hot air balloon ride with sunrise views - 40–60 min flight experience (includes taxes + optional hotel transfers)
Guest User2025-11-04
It was even better than I imagined! It was my first time in a hot air balloon, and the view was truly spectacular. I was also able to see wild animals like wallabies and horses, so I'm glad I participated, and I would definitely like to participate again if I ever come back to Cairns. It was great that I could enjoy myself right up until the moment I returned home! I was grateful that they drove me to the airport. A Japanese person was with me the whole time and explained everything, so I was able to participate with peace of mind. Also, they communicated with me via SMS right up until the trip, so I was able to act smoothly on the day. Thank you very much!
Reviews: Cairns Half Day Tour a Great Barrier Reef Snorkeling Experience
Guest User2026-01-26
I enjoyed the excursion. Everything was well organized, and the crew was attentive. It's an hour's drive to the site, 1.5-2 hours snorkeling, and an hour back. The boat is small and fast. They provide masks, fins, and a swimsuit to protect against jellyfish.
