Reviews: Cairns Green Island Big Cat half-day tour with snorkeling/glass-bottom boat
Guest User2026-04-03
A classic half-day tour. Rain was forecast, but the weather cooperated, so it was quite nice. Those prone to motion sickness should definitely take medication before going out to sea.★

Reviews: Cairns Reef Magic 1-day tour [Reef Magic/Helicopter/Scuba Diving/Includes Buffet Lunch/Unlimited Snorkeling]
Guest User2026-05-02
Must-do activities in Cairns.
First, let's talk about boat selection: The Sun Lover is actually quite popular with Chinese tourists, but after some research, I found it's more suitable for families with children. My husband and I opted for the Reef Magic, which has slightly better snorkeling conditions. We saw a lot of fish, and Nemo was darting around among the corals—so cute! We even saw a giant giant clam!
Regarding facilities, there are glass-bottom boats, semi-submarine boats, marine life lectures, and much more. Optional paid activities include a 10-minute helicopter tour/helicopter jump.
A quick tip: If you're worried about seasickness, definitely fly there and back! It depends on the weather, but a 10-minute tour is definitely not enough, haha! Also, the boat ride there was incredibly bumpy 😭 I never get seasick or carsick, but today I threw up in three huge vomit bags! Especially in the last 30 minutes before arrival, almost everyone on the boat was vomiting…
Regarding service, the staff were professional and enthusiastic. When we went snorkeling, not only were lifeguards constantly in the water, but there were also safety officers on the second floor constantly monitoring and rotating shifts to ensure high concentration. This was really good and made me feel very safe.
Regarding the food, it was actually quite delicious, but my husband and I were so focused on snorkeling and watching the small fish that we only managed to grab a quick bite near the end of the meal service.★

Reviews: Cairns Sunlover Reef Cruises 1-day tour [double reef + Ferris wheel/variety show same style/glass bottom boat/diving and snorkeling/buffet lunch/semi-submarine/helicopter sightseeing]
Guest User2026-02-26
It was a great travel experience. The Great Barrier Reef is absolutely beautiful, and the whole trip was smooth and enjoyable. The buffet was delicious, and the helicopter ride was fantastic. The only downside is that seasickness is quite common when going out to sea, so it's best to bring seasickness medication.
