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.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The company's location in the heart of the city made it convenient to return. If I were to come back again, I would definitely stay here. I highly recommend it. Thank you, Mr. Tetsuya!
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 Koalas and Creatures at the Pier admission 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 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.
