Reviews/Trip Moments

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 helicopter and light aircraft sightseeing tour [Great Barrier Reef/Kuranda Rainforest/Marine life]

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 noisy
Reviews: 40-minute Great Barrier Reef scenic flight in Cairns (with transfers) - GSL Aviation Reef Hopper
Guest User2026-01-23
A wonderful trip on a small plane. We were picked up from our hotel and taken to the airfield. 40 minutes over the reefs—a stunning sight.
Reviews: Cairns koalas and creatures admission ticket - Cairns Koalas and Creatures at the Pier Ticket
Guest User2025-11-16
The koalas were so cute and I was so happy to be able to hold one. They took photos right on time so there was no wasted time. I thought it would be a zoo-like facility so I went early to look around the facility until it was time to hold one, but the main attraction was holding the koalas and the facility was very small so I finished looking around quickly, so I'm glad I arrived a little before my reservation time. The moment I held the koala, it rubbed against me and became so cute I was so happy. They also took some great photos so I'm glad I went.
Reviews: Cairns Reef Magic 1-day tour [Reef Magic/Helicopter/Scuba Diving/Includes Buffet Lunch/Unlimited Snorkeling]

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!
