This is a fantastic tour that anyone visiting the Reef and wanting to pack a lot of sightseeing in to 2 days will love. Unfortunately for us, it had rained for 4 days prior to our visit and a landslide made using the train impossible...BUT the tour company bused us out to Kuranda and handled the change very professionally at the last minute. You will love this package!!

Green Island was a Love/Hate experience. Green Island, in and of itself is an exceptional place. It is small, the snorkeling is good, the walk through the Reserve is a great learning experience. The Hate part comes from the crowds, there were so many people it was hard to move around. I would relate this experience to being in Disneyland during a holiday....not fun. If you are an experienced diver or snorkeler and don't like crowds I would not recommend this tour._br/_ The Kuranda Day Trip would be the highlight of this package. It is well organized and a very enjoyable day. Kuranda was a beautiful town and the people very friendly. The Rainforestation was something special. It was fun, interesting and educational. The food was plentiful and very good. I do wish the package had an option out for the train. I would have preferred to take the SkyRail both directions.

The two days were good value and very well run - slick operations with no hassle. Both the Great Barrier Reef and Rain Forest were fantastic experiences. The walk round Green Island was well worth doing and easy to work into the schedule. Food and drink excellent on both days. Would have been nice to see a few more turtles on the GBR!

The scenery was more than expected. Green Island Great Barrier Reef tour was breath taking. If anyone goes there, I would recommend adding the lunch as an extra. The food at both places was well worth the cost.The rain forest tour was another trip I would highly recommend. Going up into the mountains by train was worth every penny. If this is a Once in a Lifetime trip, do it. You will not be disappointed!

This was a fabulous excursion! Be prepared on the cruise with a bag to carry your snorkeling equipment. The equipment is included, but not a bag to carry it ashore. Also you will need change for locker use. Enjoy!

A great package. While Green island isn’t as impressive and very commercialized, it definitely quenched the urge to see some of the GBR. The 2nd day at Kuranda was amazing. The tour organizer runs it like a well oiled machine!

The ultimate package you need to explore Cairns. I had an awesome time.

A few things conspired to make this an underwhelming experience. First of all, there are apparently two days per year when the train doesn't run. Rather than not let me book this tour, or even contact me after to tell me that there was no train, the tour company just unilaterally moved my tour days up by a day -- notwithstanding the fact that I wasn't even in Cairns yet. And they wondered where I was when they tried to pick me up at my hotel that morning... I was in Melbourne. Before you read the below, know that all the actual tour guides and other employees were awesome. This is no reflection on them.

Well organised and well worth the money. Sadly, monsoon weather prevented us from riding the Skyrail.

Kuranda day trip a little confusing at first as 5 tours were running at the same time. Content and activities were excellent.

Our favorite part of this tour was the Rainforest -- definitely a Five star -- we started our day at the Kuranda rail station which had a interesting museum and display before our very scenic trip on the train -- coming back we had an amazing skyrail ride over the rainforest! We had a super coach driver that got us where we needed to be and we thoroughly enjoyed the army duck ride, the Pamagirri Aboriginal Experience dance performance, boomerang and spear throwing demo, and didgeridoo playing! The day going to Green Island was ok -- about 3 stars at best. I was glad that our tour included the glass bottom boat and the semi-submarine for viewing the reef. The lunch was not very good and since e had to return to the boat for the buffet I thought it was very disruptive. The island itself was pleasant and we enjoyed the walk about there -- if we were snorkelers it would have added to the day. My biggest issue was that our voucher did not provide specific information about where we were to go -- our voucher indicated that we would be picked up at our hotel at 9 am and had I not asked our hotel to call the local tour company we would have literally missed the boat since we had to get ourselves to the boat dock by 8:30 am. I would strongly suggest better tour meeting directions.
