Reviews: Cairns Green Island Big Cat half-day tour with snorkeling/glass-bottom boat
Guest User2026-04-03
A classic half-day tour. Rain was forecast, but the weather cooperated, so it was quite nice. Those prone to motion sickness should definitely take medication before going out to sea.★

Reviews: Cairns Big Cat Green Island Great Barrier Reef Cruise Half-Day Tour - Optional Morning/Afternoon Snorkeling & Glass Bottom Boat
Guest User2026-04-01
The organization was excellent, and the transfer to and from the port was seamless. The catamaran was comfortable. The staff deserves a special mention – they were welcoming and friendly, 10000% out of 100! They were very attentive, always ready to help, and created a great atmosphere, no matter the weather. Unfortunately, the boat ride was canceled due to the weather, but we were refunded for that part of the tour without any questions asked – that was a relief. The reef itself and Green Island are, of course, beautiful, despite the weather. We weren't able to fully enjoy all the activities, but no one can control the weather.★

Reviews: Cairns Magic Reef Great Barrier Reef 1-day tour with snorkeling, lunch, glass-bottom boat, and semi-submarine
Guest User2025-11-08
The so-called "Chinese-speaking tour" is actually just a confirmation email sent to your phone by the merchant after you've successfully purchased and paid for the tickets. It lists the activities included in the package. However, there's virtually no Chinese-speaking service throughout the trip; it's essentially like buying two packages and then traveling entirely independently. On the boat and on the Great Barrier Reef platform, those who speak good English can learn more about the activities and have a smoother experience, while those who don't can just go with the flow. The overall experience of this tour wasn't as great as I had imagined beforehand; this varies from person to person because everyone's past experiences and expectations are different.★

Reviews: Cairns Great Barrier Reef Fitzroy Island 1-day tour with optional snorkeling/guided snorkeling
Guest User2024-11-07
This was my second time on Filoi Island. The last time I went snorkeling alone, I saw a sea turtle 𓆉. This time, I went to the beach on the other side of the island with my daughter and we saw a Napoleon wrasse! \(^o^)/ We were incredibly lucky!★

Reviews: Cairns Silver Swift Agincourt Great Barrier Reef 1-day tour: round-trip ferry + snorkeling + lunch
Guest User2026-03-02
The team provided excellent service, carefully explaining marine knowledge and itinerary precautions on the way there. However, the itinerary was very tight. We arrived at the Great Barrier Reef at nearly 12:00, immediately participated in a semi-submarine tour, followed by lunch, and then snorkeling. Time was limited, and we had to prepare to return to the water around 2:30. I do not recommend participating in any more experiences, as it was very rushed.
