Sydney Sightseeing Pass: See Sydney Card and Attraction Pass

Sydney, Australia

My Rating
1 star rating: I do not recommend this

My Review
A lot of activities are offered. The problem is that it is very hard to schedule enough activities in the day to cover the costs of the card. I think it is probably cheaper to pay the fees directly. I figure that we spent at least 40 more for the card than we would have spent going on our own.

Kuranda Scenic Railway Day Trip from Cairns

Cairns, Australia

My Rating
2 star rating: It was OK, but could have been better

My Review
Unless you have a seat next to the window it is impossible to take any pictures and the view is very limited. I would be better to take the cable up to Kuranda and the train back. We got cheated on the time we could spend in Kuranda because a cruise ship was in Port the day we went and they had a shortage of buses. As a result, the time in Kuranda was hurried and we didn't get to see the birds or butterflies. We were 5 minutes late in getting back to the bus and it left us. Very disappointing!

Brisbane River Lunchtime Cruise

1 star rating: I do not recommend this

My Review
The buffet lunch wasn't very good. Not worth the cost. Better to take the City Ferries or Rivercats to tour the river.

O'Reilly's Lamington National Park and Tree Top Canopy Tour

Brisbane or Gold Coast, Australia

My Rating
5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review
A beautiful tour, but we would have liked spending more time at O'Reilly's. Also, the stop at the Alpaca farm was a waste of time.
