Chris is attentive to all of us. Show us around in detailed and on time to meet us. Great guide and good service. He even gave us cokd water during that hot weather

Wonderful day tour. Very close to the port with pick up at the casino. Very easy to find. Took us around the city and to the botanical gardens, look out point and a stop for tea and scones. Highly recommend

We had a wonderful time seeing the sights of Cairns, & learning the history of the town. Graeme did a fabulous job, and we loved all the other members of our group. We would recommend this tour to everyone. The dinner cruise was great, & the buffet was delicious. We had such great service.

We booked the tour six months ago and received a confirmation that the meet-up point is the Reef Casino. However, the booking information was for pick up at the Cruise Terminal at 12:30. My friend called, and we were told to walk to the Casino by 12:50. We got there just as the van pulled up. We were happy only 7 passengers were in the 20-passenger van because it would have been uncomfortable. The highlight of the tour was St. Monica's Cathedral. Chris is a fantastic tour guide—funny, knowledgeable, and kind. I recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn about the layout of Cairns and its history.

We were greeted on time, by a modern, air conditioned, comfortable minivan (seats approx 12 in the back) and tour guide Laurence, whose energy really rubs off on you - Laurence was born to host this tour! The lunch is very good & organised by selecting what you want in the morning with the tour guide phoning ahead. We did spot a couple of crocs & is luck on the day. We did feel rushed once or twice, but that was only to ensure we could enjoy the day to the fullest! We made it to Cape Trib! A shame we didnt make a stop at Alexandra Lookout due to the roadworks fixing the cyclone damage (outwith the companys control). Such an enjoyable experience. This trip was thankful to Laurence - he is an asset to the company; his enthusiasm & knowledge are second to none. Pointing out points of interest along the way, so if you did have more time in Cairns you could do, and listening to his stories of travels & events were enjoyable. Thanking Laurence for a fantastic day, from your scottish friends Gemma & Graeme (the day the fallen tree blocked the road!)

Informative relaxing with very knowledgeable guides (Pat for the boat and Graeme city tour). Lunch and tea were great!

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.

This is a really varied tour with highlights of the city stopping to see a magnificent stain glass window in Saint Monica’s Cathedral, having a personal tour around Cairns museum and then out to have a superb afternoon tea, all the places are visited on the tour where extremely interesting and would definitely recommend this again,

Dale is a wonderful genial host - he’s more than a tour guide. From the time he picked us up in Port Douglas, to the time he dropped us off he was welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble, including the dietaries that with notice he’d more than adequately addressed. Dale makes no bones about this being a long day. Much more so if you join in Cairns, but do t be put off. It’s well worth it. Dale says he’s made it a day he’d like to do, so it’s a tour that’s been carefully curated. Across the Daintree River by ferry, a stop at the quiet Thornton Beach, it’s beautiful, in the Daintree and then the trek along the Bloomfield Track to Cooktown. There’s plenty of time to take photos along the way, as well as to croc spot, sadly, there were none obliging. Once in Cooktown there time to take in the sights. First the lookout and then to where Cook landed. From there a short stop for lunch in a local hotel before a visit to the museum. From there it’s home which took us inland. We had stops at the amazing Black Mountain, Palmer River and a final stop to take in the stunning views of the Desailly Range. It’s a great day.

Excellent half day tour. Coach driver Graham provided excellent courteous and prompt service. Has a wealth of information

We chose the Cruise/Fly option where you cruise to the Reef Magic pontoon and fly by helicopter back to Cairns. We found this a fantastic choice. Although the ocean was a bit rough, we enjoyed the cruise out and the staff were very attentive and helpful. We decided not to go snorkelling as the weather was a bit cool, instead we went on the semi-submersible, the glass bottom boat and watch from the underwater observatory. We feel that we didn’t miss out on anything by not snorkelling. The morning and afternoon teas were great and the lunch had a great variety of choices. I am lactose intolerant and all the food was clearly labelled for food intolerances/allergies which was greatly appreciated. All the staff were very friendly and professional. The flight back to Cairns was very enjoyable as we got to see the reef in a totally different way. We totally recommend Reef Magic and Cairns Discovery Tours.

We started with the small group Cairns River Cruise which was very informative and relaxing, a great way to start the day. This was followed by a delicious lunch at Dundee’s on the wharf and the small group Cairns City Sights which was a really good way to have an overview of Cairns. A totally enjoyable day. Maryanne at Cairns Discovery Tours was very helpful with suggestion for our holiday in Cairns.

Simon was an amazing tour guide. The Paronella Park tour was fantastic. I highly recommend it if you are travelling to Cairns and want a day tour that is fun and interesting (with a bonus pub dinner and cake on the beach).

My husband and I did the Daintree and Cape Tribulation day tour and it was one of the best tours we’ve done. Maryanne who took the booking went out of her way to book us in at late notice which we were grateful for. The itinerary was was well thought out and delivered a full experience (including delicious scones for morning tea). Mario our tour guide was simply fantastic. Very knowledgeable, engaging and kept the group to time. Overall I highly recommend this experience to anyone wanting the most out of their FNQ visit.

Cairns City Sights and Surrounds Tour We did the Cairns City Sights and Surrounds Tour and thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon. Our tour guide, Chris, was very knowledgeable about the area and places we stopped. He was also very attentive and helpful to those needing assistance due to physical limitations. We would highly recommend this Tour to any visitor in the Cairns area.
