The rainforestration was wonderful. Add this addition to the rainforest day trip. The snorkeling trip did not seem well organized while everyone was in the water. Safety procedures on board were in place. The snorkeling day trip was not what I expected to see in the Great Barrier Reef.

Неплохой тур, на рифе была маленькая лодка, было тесновато, за то на вертолете было очень здорово.

Did what it said i.e. barrier reef and Kuranda rail and cableway, however, was very busy, rushed and chaotic. Maybe the only way to experience these trips but I would choose to pay more and avoid the crowds

Overall is good but the food on the boat is not as good as expected. Although my snorkelling tools have been placed well in the locker, people kept stealing them and it's a waste of time to get another one.

The tour was excellent. I went diving and had an extensive briefing with knowledgeable and kind dive masters. The boat was clean and organized and the lunch buffet was incredibly good! My only disappointment was that, sadly to say, the reef where we went was pretty dead.

I LOVED snorkling the reef. It was amazing seeing all the beautiful corals , colourful fish a couple of giant clams and a white tipped shark. The helicopter ride over the reef was phenomenal. The Kuranda train and gondola ride were good and the rainforest tour and zoo were very interesting.

Prepare to pay an extra 20 AUD when you get there. Staff was very friendly, among the best!

The best experience! Loved Kuranda Railway then the Skyrail back down. We loved the Rain Forestation with animals and aboriginal dance w/ excellent display of spear-throwing, boomerang and didgeridoo. Great lunch. As for the Great Barrier Reef, it was the greatest snorkeling ever!

The Reef is beautiful, I am glad we got to see two different reef sites. The crew was helpful and they offer things like a camera to hire and wetsuits. The ride out is choppy, so the helicopter ride back home was a nice way to end the amazing day.

Overall this was a great tour. The first day in Kuranda was great, but being that I bought the extra Rain Forestation part it really put me in a pinch for time - really wish that I did have more time.
Unfortunately the second day the weather was a bit windy, so we didn't get to do the glass bottom boat, but other than that I have no complaints. The food was great!!

This was the best decision I had made. The weather was perfect and every second spent at the great barrier reef was worth it. We had a chance to witness humpback whale, turtles, the whole arrangement was like clock work. Throughly enjoyed it. Anyone who plans a trip to cairns should visit Kuranda scenic railway, cableway and barrier reef. The rainforest trip was refreshing and would go back again.
