Reviews: [Limited-Time Special for Kids] Cairns Great Barrier Reef Sunlover Day Tour with Optional Helicopter Ride
Guest User2025-04-30
The Sunlover cruise was fantastic value for money!
The scenery along the boat was breathtaking, the buffet was delicious and varied, and we were all well and well-fed. The crew was incredibly attentive, patiently helping with photos and answering questions. The helicopter tour is a must-try – a truly unexpected and amazing experience! The views of the ocean and coral reefs from the air were absolutely stunning! We also saw many beautiful little fish while snorkeling and even encountered a sea turtle!
It was a fulfilling and enjoyable day. Highly recommended!★

Reviews: Cairns: Great Barrier Reef Cruise & 10 Minute Helicopter
Guest User2025-12-28
The price point for this activity was great! We enjoyed the boat ride out to pontoon on the Great Barrier Reef. We booked the 10 Min Helicopter ride and highly recommend it! Our pilot, John, was exceptional. He was friendly and fun - the sights of the reef above were stunning. On the pontoon, you could snorkel or dive with the fish into the Great Barrier Reef. Highly recommend doing the semi submersible as well. The lunch buffet was decent, though if you don’t time it right, the food will be gone quickly. I just wish we had more time on the excursion!★

Reviews: Cairns Great Barrier Reef 1-day tour with Silverswift [Optional scuba diving]
Guest User2026-03-02
Overall, the experience was good. I went on three certified deep-sea dives to different places, but saw similar things. The price was a bit high, probably because of the excellent service and the increased prices on meals. All diving equipment was provided, so there was no need to worry about extra charges.★

Reviews: Cairns Great Barrier Reef Fitzroy Island 1-day tour with optional snorkeling/guided snorkeling
Guest User2024-11-07
This was my second time on Filoi Island. The last time I went snorkeling alone, I saw a sea turtle 𓆉. This time, I went to the beach on the other side of the island with my daughter and we saw a Napoleon wrasse! \(^o^)/ We were incredibly lucky!
