Things to do in  Cairns & the Tropical North

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.

Wow, just wow. Being able to snorkel to see a tiny bit of paradise that’s the Great Barrier Reef is an experience of a lifetime. Brianna and Phil were excellent in guiding us while snorkeling while Cedric really looked after us while we were on board the Endeavour. The helicopter ride back to Cairns gave us a different perspective of the reef. So much fun! You can get seasick so consider taking seasickness tablets beforehand to maximise your enjoyment.

Great trip but our driver was a talker, we heard everything over the mike that he was thinking. I can appreciate that he has been called out of retirement but really do we need this information given to us everytime something is said? He has knowledge no doubt but his delivery was not great for a 12 hours day. BUT thank you Warwick for a great tour and all the extras you provided us. It is well worth the money. More free time at Mossman Gorge would have been better than a talk about all the flora. If you want to see Cairns and get a feeling for North Queensland do this trip and the Paranella trip. Great way to sit back and enjoy. Favourite part was learning about all the native fruits at lunch at the Teahouse and the Daintree Croc tour on whisper. At the Teahouse we sampled about 12 different types of tropical fruit, Richard there was fantastic. Just needed a good bottle of wine and a bit more time.

Fantastic day, 2 out of 3 kids rated this tour their favourite of everything we did in Cairns, our tour guide Carlos made the trip so much fun for all, waterfalls were beautiful, we seen platypus in the river, gorgeous views, slid down the rock face water slide, got behind the majestic waterfall, great lunch at the pub, and easy walks to water falls, Carlos made the bus rock, we all had a fantastic day and highly recommend doing this tour, the granddaughter rated this her favourite tour, even higher than swimming with a turtle and she loves turtles, it was so good Are ages ranged from 58 years down to 9 years, it had something for all of us.

Excellent tour. Well worth while doing to experience the spectacular scenic wonderland above and within the rainforest on skyrail with great views of Barron Falls. Plenty of time to relax in charming Kuranda. The scenic raulway journey back was also very scenic with waterfalls, rainforest, gorges and sea views. Michael the tour director handled everything for us extremely efficiently so everything went very smoothly. His bonus small tour of parts of Cairns along the way from pick up at our hotel to return there was also very informative. Excellent work. We highly reccommend this tour to everyone.

We highly recommend this brilliant tour to everyone wanting to see and explore the beauty of the Atherton tablelands. From the included coffe or tea with scones with jam and cream at the charming Lake Barrine tearooms to Millaa Millaa falls and the Curtain Fig tree. Huge towering Kauri trees and the amazing splendour of Paronella Pak are included among many other attractions. The included lunch was promptly served and deicious. The small group tour bus was comfortable and our hospitable, friendly tour guide (Brett) was an amazing mine of interesting stories and information with an encyclopedic knowledge of the area. We returned to cairns refreshed with the days proceedings. Well done an excellent tour.

Excellent trip. This is definitely the highlight of our Cairns trip. The crews were friendly, accommodating and very knowledgeable. My partner got super sea sick at one point and the crews could not be more helpful in assisting him getting better. The locations that this company picked were great: we saw plenty of live coral activities and heaps of different marine life. The food on board was not too bad. Considering the limitation of the facility, I would consider the catering was above expectations. Overall a really worthwhile trip.

Excellent experience. We were picked up from the agreed meeting place on time. Our guide, Tommy, was very knowledgable and had a great sense of humour. The first stop was Palm Cove markets which we were very fortunate to be able to experience as this market is only open on the first Sunday of the month. ample time was given for everyone to be able to see the stalls without rushing. We then proceeded to Port Douglas and did a quick stop at Flagstaff Hill to enjoy the beautiful views prior to getting to the markets. Personally, I think that Palm Cove markets was much better with better stalls. On the way back to Cairns City we had several stops for picture taking opportunities. We stopped at 4 mile beach, Rex lookout, the stacking stones, Trinity beach and the bottom of Barron Gorge where the hydro electric plant is. This company, Tour Logistics, excels in what they do and how they look after their customers. Will not hesitate to recommend them for their excellent work. Well Done Tommy and Tour Logistics!!!

Comfortable boat and relaxed crew. It was nice to be on a trip that didn’t feel rushed. It was also good not to have staff constantly upwelling activities. The reef was beautiful and the snorkelling was easy from the pontoon. Food was average, but it was in a box rather than a buffet due to covid. Watch the arrival time! We arrived late due to being stuck in traffic and the rude tour operator in the main Cairns building rang us to tell us the boat was going without us. Despite the fact it was only 9.05 for a 9.30 departure. A frantic 15 minutes and we arrived at the boat by 9.20 with 10 minutes to spare. A lovely day in all. I have been to the reef a few times and I personally like going to a pontoon as you feel less rushed not having to move locations. This was one of my favourite trips.

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.

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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.
