How can I come to Cairns without seeing the beautiful Great Barrier Reef? Helicopters have to be arranged, the sky overlooking the entire Great Barrier Reef is really great, the view is very good, the helicopter is a bit noisyโ

Reviews: Great Barrier Reef Full Day Tour from Cairns
Guest User2024-09-15
Wife enjoyed the snorkling on the reef .It was her first time. I've done this before ,and in New Caledonia, and Samoa. I think the company could offer a reduced cost for passanger only accompanying a diver as wife wouldn't go by herself . And as couple not both partners want to dive. โ

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.โ
