Things to do in  Cairns & the Tropical North

Great place to see all the fish, sharks, rays and other species that are in the sea and reefs around Cairns

The tubing trip was enjoyable and well organised, all team staffs were funny and caring, we had a great time and highly recommend it if you are looking for activities to do in Cairns!

Fantastic experience once you get to board the train and until you get off the sky rail at the end of the day. Unfortunately spoiled a bit by the long drawn out coach pick up and drop off. We were first on and last off and spent nearly 3 hours in total being driven around various Cairns hotels. Not how we wanted to spend our time. If we had known this in advance we would have made an alternative arrangement especially as the destination is only a short taxi ride from Cairns central. I recommend anyone doing this tour to check how long the coach pick up and drop off is before deciding what to do. Even better, the tour operator should be proactive and provide this information up front.

This was a great adventure! We were picked up by the knowledgeable Michael who gave us some history on cairns along the ride to destination where he drops us off to explore on our own. The Skyrail ride was stunning! The sun came out for us so the views were just breathtaking. Kuranda town is quaint with lots to explore! The railway ride back down was a little long but the history behind it all made us appreciate it. Michael picked us up and returned us to our hotel with yet again more info on sites along the way. A great day full of wonderful views of Barron falls and so much more. 5/5 from us!

The staff was super friendly and welcoming. They felt like regular friends who wanna get together and have a good time. It was my first time going for a snorkelling trip but the staff makes you feel safe. Really informative as well. The trip was amazing and the water was so clear. You could see everything in the reef. I really recommend this company to anyone thinking to see the Great Barrier Reef. It was by far the best experience I had in Cairns.

This tour was incredible! We had never been to Cairns before and we didn't have much time. So this tour was the perfect way to see the Daintree and Mosman Gorge all at once. We had no real preference to see Cape Tribulation but we were glad we saw it. Our guide was the best. Big thanks to Shane for being so friendly, informative and just a good bloke to spend the day with. He answered all our questions and gave us some really good dinner recommendations at the end of the day. He even offered to drop us off to where we decided to eat instead of our hotel (this was so perfect because we had such a big day). Mossman Gorge was the highlight of our entire trip. The swim was sooooo beautiful. Water was clear and so refreshing. We could have stayed all day. Otherwise, lunch was wild. We learned so much and got to try fruit that I don't think I will ever see again. And ice cream was perfect. It's like every time we started to feel a bit tired, we arrived at somewhere to eat and felt ready to go again. The tour is very well planned and I highly recommend it.

The flight enabled us to see the beautiful colours of the great barrier reef off cairns, staff, pilot and plane great

Great experience. Darryl was an excellent host. We did not catch a lot of fish but it wasn’t from a lack of effort. It was a beautiful stretch of water and got to see a lot of the estuary system. We would come again if we are in Cairns.

The trip to Paronella Park was an experience worthy of a day trip almost on its own. To combine that with a stop at Milla Milla Falls, a beautiful lunch at Innisfail and scones at Lake Barrine was a magical way to spend a day sightseeing around the Cairns hinterland.

Fitzroy Island is located 45 minutes by boat from Cairns. It's a beautiful island - with coral beaches, giant boulders and rainforest walking tracks. It's a true paradise! We had a great time there. If you visit Cairns, make sure to visit Fitzroy Island.

Excellent tour. Anna was quite informative about both this tour as well as other activities to be found in Cairns. Good guidance on the visit to the Crocodile farm made it easy to navigate and ensure I could hit all of the exhibits with the least difficulty.

Nice trip, well organized with the purchased included lunch and activities. Beautiful ride to the island from Cairns and we were there on a beautiful day. Saw whales and turtles while kayaking near the island. Take water shoes.. beach is difficult to walk on with tender feet, all coral beaches.

This trip was absolutely made by our tour guide who had a wealth of information and was very engaging. The trip and the caves were interesting and it was good to see another side of Oz on our short trip to Cairns

I was grateful that the tour company contacted us in advance enough so that we could rearrange our tours to make sure that we were able to visit Kuranda. The city itself was kind of overrated but the experience of the train in Gold Class was an unique experience as well as the gondala ride back to Cairns.

This is absolutely excellent value for money, it had breathtaking views and is a very fun filled packed day with lots of activities, the Duck Tour was very interesting and we fell in love with the Koalas, the Skyrail is unique....truly amazing day and a must do on your visit to Cairns, excellent Tour guide too

This was one of my highlights in this holiday. I did just book the same tour again for my next visit to Cairns. We saw a lot of nocturnal animals witch you cant spot on the mostly offered tours in daylight conditions. Even the sounds in the night are worth to visit the jungle after sunset. Strongly recommended!!

It was a fantastic day for the family. Great weather. Children loved snorkeling and the island is a fantastic place to visit. We will be visiting Green Island again next time we are in Cairns

Excellent day out, great places to visit , good time levels out of the bus. Very good driver cum guide and really comfortable mini coach. Highly recommend this a tour to do if in cairns area.

Fantastic day. Well organized and all went well. Our tickets were there ready for us to pick up at 7.30am. Food beautiful, activities well worth doing, glass bottom boat and submarine. Would recommend as must do when on Cairns.

i prefer skyrail to train.But by train , could see Baron fall better. Would also recommend to take Tjapuki cultural tour and the recommended schedule for shows in that cultural park is efficient . Wish we could spend more time at heritage market. It would be better if we could leave for Cairns from skyrail station later than 5 pm.
