Frankland islands reef cruise, something a little different. - Great trip. Boat ride to island was easy and calm. Staff were friendly and competent. First time I had snorkelled but I had a ball. Saw so many fish and coral so close to the shore. Great spot for kids too as they can play on the beach. Lunch excellent. Submersible boat experience too.
Perfect for me to practise snorkeling. Diving also catered for.

Must see-Cairns in one afternoon - Chris was a terrific tour guide. He picked us up on time, introduced himself and told us so many interesting facts about Cairns and its history. Our tour went to so many places, we even saw wallabys on the side of the road. Despite the rainy weather, he kept the mood upbeat and positive. Thanks so much!

Nice - Tours was fantastic Graeme with a E was a great tour guide very informative, But so disappointing with the food service on the boat. Waiters needed to be more attentive to the trays on the buffet, as quite a few were empty when we were asked to go get our dinner.

Bad experience - Nil. The hot food was cold, so cold it spoilt the whole evening. The hot food was so cold you did not need a thermometer to know the temperature was WELL below 60 degrees cel.
