It is recommended to live in Shangri-La, it is convenient to eat and walk around, 200 meters from the pier. The outer Barrier Reef is worth going, and you have to go early. Now the coral color is less, the activity is degraded, and the effect of going late is even worse. Merchant service is very good, always track orders.

This time the Cairns Sun Lovers Great Barrier Reef cruise ship is the right cruise ship company. It is very attentive. After playing and enjoying the viewing of different ships on the Great Barrier Reef, I am very satisfied and excited. I spent a perfect day and will come back when I have time. Thank you for the hard work of the ship staff.

Very good itinerary. The land car driver is very interesting. The price set by Trip.com is cheaper than the on-site. It is highly recommended for this trip. The zoo can observe the koala kangaroo up close and touch it.

We had booked the train/light rail trip for the day. Unfortunately the weather was frightening and it rained all day. We arrived at the Skyrail centre in Smithfield and their bus to Freshwater Station was in good condition. After the train trip, we walked around Kuranda and had lunch at a local cafe. We booked our tickets late in the afternoon to return via Skyrail. Fortunately, they made us return early. The staff was pleasant. The reviews you can download to your phone are great. Unfortunately the weather was so bad we could only see a few meters ahead. Nevertheless, the trip on the treetops was pleasant. At the two stops down, they were all equipped with umbrellas, and the trail was not bad, but the visibility was too bad. If the weather is clear, do it again, it would be great.

Looking around, it was a village full of nature, and the road from Cairns city to arrival was great! !! !! 🌿 However, it was very hot at the end of October, so ice cream was essential 🤣

As expected, there were creatures in the rainforest in Cairns and aquariums, and the more interesting I looked at it, the more interesting I looked at it. 😂 And the colorful coral was beautiful! (This is a living coral! !! laughter)

Although the boat journey is large, it feels worth it after arriving at the Great Barrier Reef! The water is very clear and the corals are very diverse; there are also different fish. The sea is large and snorkeling is more difficult. It will be more fun if you choose a non-rainy season!

Breathtakingly views! The railway trip was reallynice. Be careful of the weather because it was hot for us so when you aren’t moving just be careful. There are shops before you get on the train so if you don’t have drinks be sure to grab them. There is so much history given and it’s a wonderful experience! You will really enjoy it !

The plane skimmed low.. The blue beauty of Tiffany in front of us is suffocating. We took a helicopter from Hamilton Island. After passing through Hill Bay and White Paradise Beach, we flew about 20 minutes to the sea between the deep and shallow sea beds. This time we have entered the Great Barrier Reef. Arrive at Heart Reef Heart Reef Pilot will specially remind and fly low

The Green Island is the closest to the pier, and it is very good for seasick people, and you can go to the island. The beach is white and clear, and the sea is blue, which is very beautiful. It is very suitable for sand swimming. The snorkeling range is very large, and the seabed coral reefs and fish are visible on the clear water. It’s too hot and too suny, but unfortunately the boat arrived at the hottest time and returned in the afternoon. If it is evening, it should be cool and comfortable on the beach.
