Yes, the helicopter tour is highly recommended. The scenery is beautiful, many of the crew members speak Chinese, and the lunch is also good.

The underwater world of the Great Barrier Reef is simply wonderful! I participated in snorkeling and saw a variety of corals, fish, turtles, everything, beautiful! It feels like being on another planet!
Reviews: Cairns hot air balloon ride with sunrise views - 40–60 min flight experience (includes taxes + optional hotel transfers)
Guest User2025-11-04
It was better than I expected! It was my first time to ride a hot air balloon, and the view was truly spectacular. I was glad I participated because I was able to see wild animals like wallabies and horses, and I would definitely participate again if I ever come to Cairns. It was also great that I was able to enjoy myself right up until the last moment before I left! I was grateful that they took me to the airport. A Japanese person was there the whole time, explaining everything to me, so I was able to participate with peace of mind. They also communicated with me via SMS right up until the last moment before the trip, which made things go smoothly on the day. Thank you very much!
Reviews: Cairns Half Day Tour a Great Barrier Reef Snorkeling Experience
Guest User2026-01-26
I enjoyed the excursion. Everything was well organized, and the crew was attentive. It's an hour's drive to the site, 1.5-2 hours snorkeling, and an hour back. The boat is small and fast. They provide masks, fins, and a swimsuit to protect against jellyfish.

Reviews: Full-Day Great Barrier Reef Snorkeling from Hamilton Island
Guest User2025-09-02
Had a fantastic day ,very lucky with weather very smooth trip no wind ,you do 2 snorkel sessions of 1 hour each,the crew were very good and helpful, would definitely go again. We did the other day trip the day after this to Whitehaven beach including the snorkelling experience combined and due to the windy conditions the trip that day was cancelled to the barrier reef and the people from there then joined our excursion. So weather permitting this is a fantastic excursion.
