1. 40-Minute Great Barrier Reef Scenic Flight from Cairns
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 48 reviews
The 40 minute Great Barrier Reef Flight is the perfect way to see and gain a full appreciation of the immensity of the Great Barrier Reef. The best time to fly is between 09:30 a.m. and 02:30 p.m. to see the wonderful colours of the Great Barrier Reef. The 30 minute flight is adequate to gain a feel for the size and structure of the Great Barrier Reef, the 40 minute flight adds that little bit more for those wanting to snap those extra few pics to their portfolio.

Cape York Day Tour Kept us totally informed of changes to the day for our flight due to bad wet weather and we were lucky enough to be able to do the trip on Saturday 1st May - there were six people on the trip which meant we had a brand new large 4 wheel drive for the second part of the trip to the tip. Our pilot/driver/guide (Aaron I think) was brilliant. Morning tea/lunch/afternoon tea all provided with refreshments. This trip is truly a highlight and highly recommended. Daintree Air are a wonderful company with safe, friendly and talented staff.

We did a 3 hour boat cruise around the gold coast waterways. Nitsa the owner was our skipper for my Hens party. We had the best time! Honestly, it was the highlight of my hens weekend. Nitsa took heaps of photos of our group and allowed me to play my own music nice and loud! She also organized water, champagne glasses and ice buckets. The table on board was movable, meaning that after we’d eaten Nitsa moved the table so we had our very own dance floor! Nitsa also stopped at her mooring halfway through the cruise so we could use the ladies toilet (but there is also one on board!). The boat comfortably fit 8 of us girls. We ate, danced and drank whilst looking at some of the richest houses, people enjoying their meals at the wharf and some dolphins! So many great memories to cherish forever! Thanks Nitsa :)

I absolutely loved this trail. I am from the UK so it was a fun way to see the sights of Broadbeach. Exploring this way is much better than a tour as you get see more than just the popular sights everyone goes to. The trail enables you to learn about the local area with a nice amount of challenge added in. What more could you ask for? I have never seen anything like this before and I was so impressed with how easy the app was to use. I would definitely recommend!

Thoroughly enjoyed the Tricity experience having done both Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach trails. The ability to see the sights and get around at our own pace, while being taken on a mysterious journey through such an iconic location was very special. As a wheelchair user I found the experience very accessible and loved solving all the clues. Great way to get around and get the lay of the land as a visitor or a local seeing how well they know their unique areas.
