This trip was one of my favourites what I did in Cairns! The places were very beautiful where we stopped, and the tour guide made a very good atmosphere during the whole trip, he was very skilled too! He talked a lot about the history of Cairns, and we could ask any questions too, he knew everything about the area! We got coffee and biscuits during the trip too.

Beautiful experience. On pick up spot need to describe EXACT LOCATION to meet bus. The food was bad choice. Meat pie would have been more authentic. We had prawns and Barbque chicken and multiple salads on island tour. Just saying. Needed more warning on rock slide. A woman fell. Ramp down and out of water needed , not crawling out on boulders.
