Review of Cairns’ full-day Great Barrier Reef cruise with two reef sites, BBQ lunch, snorkelling, scuba options, and a 10-minute helicopter flight.
“The crew on the boat was amazing, but we went out on a "stormy" kind of day, and the majority of passengers on the boat were sick. I kind of wish the cruise was canceled because of the wind warning, but they said seasick pills should help. Again, the crew was amazing and took care of us during the roller coaster boat ride. We were able to snorkel at the reef, but visibility wasn't ideal. Our helicopter ride was canceled because of weather, too, and they kindly reimbursed us for that part. I have to remember I booked a trip during fall, so there is always the possibility of weather…”
