Reviews: Lazy Cat Travel Airlie Beach Lightning Cat Whitehaven Beach Snorkeling English 1-day Tour with Lunch Hill Inlet
Guest User2025-12-12
This project was very well designed. There was a shuttle bus for early departure and late return. Upon arrival at the ferry terminal, the driver handed us over to the tour leader, who led us onto the speedboat. I was worried about seasickness, but the speedboat sped along the waves without me feeling dizzy at all. The tour leader served us desserts, and then took us to Hook Island for snorkeling. The coral and fish underwater were so beautiful! We snorkeled twice in different spots, experiencing different underwater worlds. Afterwards, we returned to the boat for a Western-style fast food meal. After resting, the speedboat continued its journey, taking us to Whitehaven Beach. The snow-white sand and turquoise sea were simply breathtaking—a truly beautiful scene, making the trip worthwhile.★

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: Grand Kuranda including Skyrail and Kuranda Scenic Railway
Guest User2024-07-22
Me and my family took an army duck tour last sunday and we had a really good time. We would like to compliment your new guide Mark. He had really good and interesting comments about nature and wildlife that made the tour fun and enjoyable. We also loved other activities in Kuranda, like the Pamagirri Aboriginal experience. We learned how to throw a boomerang and we enjoyed the presentation of Aboriginal coulture. The scenic Railway had some really good views and the train to Cairns was most enjoyable. Sending love from Slovenia.★

Reviews: Cairns Kuranda Rainforest Day Tour English Package Bus Cable Car Rainforest Park Free Choice
Guest User2026-02-18
The Kuranda Rainforest Cable Car offers a stunning aerial view, while the train journeys through the rainforest, passing beautiful waterfalls along the way. Our day tour guide, Mr. Zhang, was very knowledgeable about Cairns, providing an overview of its history. His well-organized tour was excellent; a truly outstanding guide! Thumbs up! 👍👍👍👍👍 Five-star review.
