There was only one day of Kuranda Rainforest in the three days. There was no advance notice. The pick-up was not at the hotel at 7am as stated in the booking pdf file, but at the meeting point at 10:40am. I waited for more than an hour until 8am. I really didn't want to wait any longer, so I called and found out about this change. This is not good, and I should have been informed in advance. The rest was good.

Aged 78 I snorkelling for the first time on Great Barrier Reef. The crew are brilliant as would not have done it on my own. The rainforest, train and cable car gave us an unforgettable experience.

Overall it was pretty good. I wish we had bit more of an itinerary of what the day was going to look like and when things would happen to make planning of the day easier ( we didn’t know what time we would be done for the day so couldn’t make dinner plans etc.). I wish we had more free time snorkelling as it felt very rushed and like I didn’t really have much time between having to be close by for my scuba dive, have lunch and wait for the glass bottom boat. Some of the staff were super helpful whilst some didn’t seem to know what they were doing. The Daintree day could’ve been shorter or had a different mode of transport (within reason of course), it felt like a lot of travel for not much in return, especially when similar things were to be seen in Kuranda. In contrast I wish Kuranda was a little longer even if only an hour max. Whilst it was still enjoyable it felt like we had to be go go go and we only just made the bus back in time by pure chance as it wasn’t super clear how much time we had to get out and explore on the sky rail.

Booked this 3 Day package because it seemed easier than doing 3 separate bookings. The GBR experience was wonderful. Even with the rough weather, we enjoyed our time out there. While we saw some beautiful sights and had an excellent lunch on the Daintree Tour, our small group tour exceeded the stated 14 people and the extra pick up and drop offs (as well as time needed to herd 21 people about) made for a less than perfect experience. The train/sky rail to and from Kuranda are breathtaking. However, many of the food purveyors and shops were closed because it was a Monday (?) not sure if this is normal for that time of year or a post-covid fall out.

About the trips:
The most wonderful experience in Cairns. I spent just three days there and I wanted to explore as much as possible, I couldn't have chosen a better option than these 3 tours. Everyday was really well organized, I was picked up near my hotel, the pick up locations were easy to find. The first day in the reef was incredible, It was my first time doing scuba diving and the crew were very well prepared, the lunch in the boat was delicious and finally I got a professional picture (I purchased on the boat) as a memory. The second day couldn't be better, Britt was sharing with us all the history about the daintree forest, we visited so many places, lookout points. We ate lunch in a beautiful place surrounded by the forest and the chef also shared with us a history of the tropical fruits we were eating that day. And the last day, traveling by train crossing bridges and catching waterfalls and taking the skyrail over the rainforest completed the most rewarding experience I've ever had.

About customer service and calling by phone:
The only bad experience I had was calling the last company (railway and skyrail), the person who answered the phone was impolite and she didn't share all the information I needed, and it was difficult to understand what she was saying, I requested details by email and I called multiple times trying to get the information. Considering that many tourists come to the tour, people come from different parts of the world, and sometimes the language might be a challenge; the first point of contact should be a patient person able to communicate all the details that tourists request and also we all reserve a respectful service.

All 3 days were wonderful. The boat for snorkeling was not very crowded, they allowed us to snorkel for a long time and we could go out guide far from the boat. The lunch was very good. Our driver for the Daintree rainforest, Steve, was excellent. He gave us lots of information and was fun to listen to. We never felt rushed on a group tour. The train and skyrail were breathtaking.

This is an awesome, action packed three days in Cairns. Our favorite part was the Daintree Rainforest Tour. It was so much more than just Daintree. Our guide, Steve made the very long day super enjoyable.
Make sure you bring motion sickness pills for the great barrier reef tour, and lots of sunscreen.
All of the meals provided were hearty and tasty. You could not ask for a better way to be introduced to Cairns. Cannot recommend enough. 11 stars!

What a perfect way to do the big 3 adventures in Cairns.
Our day out on the barrier reef with the crew on Reef Experience was amazing. Special thanks to Megan for making my 12yo niece super comfortable with snorkeling.
Our day exploring the daintree with Darrell from Discovery Tours Australia was excellent, his ability to share his local knowledge of plants and animals and his indigenous heritage made this personal and unforgettable as well as educational. Finally our trip on the train to Kuranda with Cairns Tours was seem less from collection at our hotel to return in the afternoon.
100% recommendations for booking all 3 together.

If you are wanting to do everything Cairns has to offer then this is a great package to do it in as you get the best of everything.
Day 1 was the Great Barrier Reef which had a very rocky start because of you are on any medication you are not allowed to dive unless you have a medical certificate which was very disappointing as this was not communicated effectively when booking this and it says you it may be some medications. So please do not be as disappointed as I was and if you book this and wish to go scuba diving to have a medical certificate for any medication you are taking or you will be told when you get on the boat that you cannot participate.
Day 2 was Cape Trib & Mossman Gorge where we had the AMAZING Michelle as our guide and she was incredible. She was so lovely and informative and made sure we got the most out of our day. She took us to one of her favourite spots too and that was amazing as we got to see this incredible part of the rainforest with her.
Day 3 was Kuranda Train and yet again another great day. There’s so much to see and do and you get to finish it off with the sky rail which is a great way to come down as compared to the train which was so scenic going up.
Overall, this 3 day trip was amazing and I would book it again just be wary of you are on medication and you want to scuba dive as you need a medical certificate. It doesn’t matter what medication.

Each excursion was a ton of fun! It’s was nice to be able to do so many things in one booking. Convenient to have everything all lined up for several days instead of scrambling to full days.
