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.

I can’t say enough good things about this Discovery Tour. We sampled almost everything that Cairns has to offer. Botanical Gardens, Museum, Palm Cove, tea and scones, and more. We were seven in the group. The driver/guide was very pleasant and knowledgeable. I was impressed by his botanical knowledge. Excellent overview of the city, its history, its economy, its geography. Thank you,

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,

Was an excellent tour and the driver Chris was amazing and did great commentary through out the tour. St Monica’s church was fantastic the stained glass windows and the story about them was wonderful. All was spectacular but the afternoon tea scones were to die for. I strongly would put it on your list to do.

Great tour, with a very informative driver/ tour guide. Gives you a good insight into Cairns and the surrounding areas.

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.

A splendid half day tour. Our driver and host was Chris who did an excellent job in both commentating and providing background context. He was clear and comprehensive and made the tour really informative. Highlights included St Monica's cathedral, the Flecker gardens and the Cairns museum.

Chris is a great host and driver. My wife and I most enjoyed our afternoon on the tour with his informative commentary. We were well-pleased with our decision to do the tour.

I went on the bus tour last week and thoroughly enjoyed it! The bus was full, and everyone was very pleased with the experience, sitting at the table eating a yummy scone and sipping a hot/cold beverage. Chris, the tour guide, was detailed in his explanations and very convivial. I loved every minute of it, but the biggest highlight for me would have to be the Botanic Gardens. I highly recommend the tour and hope to come back with my children.

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).
