This was a fantastic day and one of our favorite tours we took while in Cairns. My only comment would be that there is NO time to shop in Kuranda because you only have a half hour to get off the train and walk through the town. The helicopter was fantastic...they took you out to the middle of the reef and landed by a snorkeling boat and we were treated as VIP's and were fed a fantastic lunch when we were finished snorkeling. The crew were so nice and helpful!!
Great way to see everything if you want to fit everything in a day. Not much time in Kuranda but you can buy the same things all over. Helicopter ride is a definite highlight. Treated like VIPs by cruise crew. Snorkeling time is limited (90 min) which was more than enough for us.
Enjoyed trip, although mix up with pick up times in palm cove was told to get there for 6.50am when infact we had to wait until 8am until being picked up.So made it a long day as we left port douglas at 6am to get there in time. Having said that worked out well doing all in one day as we felt a whole day on boat would have been a bit long.
Kuranda train tip and skyrail trip were fantastic.
Helicopter trip was beautiful and informative.
Snorking at the barrier reef was great experience--about 1 and 1/2 hours.
Cruise crew had saved lunch for us. The food was fair but was compensated by boat ride and entertainment back to Cairns.
Great excursion for those "power tourists" with limited time in Cairns - covers all the must-see stuff in a single day without feeling rushed and outer reef snorkeling is the way to go. Only detraction was an angry little man named "Tai" that picked us up from hotel - he barked confusing orders at us as far as instructions for getting from the train to the skyrail and God help you if you get this guy and have any questions - he demeaned some poor woman from our group almost to the point of being in tears. At that point, everyone in the group just fell silent until this guy left the train and then we all had a laugh at what an unprofessional, angry little man he was and enjoyed the rest of our day thoroughly. The professional staff on the boat more than made up for the unpleasantness of our morning driver, who had no business being in the tourism industry.
This was a great tour. You got to experience several different areas. It was wonderful!
loved it from start to finish. worth the money
I had a wonderful time. Kuranda is beautiful . the sky rail is breath taking and grear bearier reaf spectaular i give it a 5 stars as a rating
Great trip. Wish we had more time in Kuranda for shopping. Very well organized. Snorkeling was fabulous.
Well organized in spite of the many different companies involved in the tour.
The helicopter tour is impressive as you fly out to the middle of nowhere and land on a pontoon before being transfered to the boat.
Excellent! Great value. Had everything in one day.
This was an excellent tour and a very memorable day. My only comment would be that there is very little time in Kuranda itself 40minutes and if like me the train is late 20 minutes. That said I wouldn't have missed a minute of the snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef so if you want to wander around Kuranda this is not the trip for you but if you want to experience all these things in one day I can't recommended this trip highly enough.
Great day trip if you are booked for time. Can fit a ton into one day which was great as we were only in the area for a few days.
it was a great day out but would have preferred a bit more time at kuranda in between train stopping and getting on the skyrail otherwise a great day
One of my greatest experiences as a traveller! It's a very busy day, with trying to keep to schedules, but well worth it. Great value for money.
