Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Excursion6107655 contributionsA fun day out, very well organised by Brett. He was a very entertaining and informative guide.
We did the cable car first then the scenic railway.
Loved Koala World
Stunning views from both the cable car and train.Written 22 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Anne C14 contributionsWas 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.Written 15 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Callum G1 contributionWas an amazing trip, definitely worth doing. The Barron falls was amazing to see from above and the reef was breathtaking.Written 25 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- WineFoodTravels06Las Vegas, NV167 contributionsIt was amazing. I don’t like heights but the Gondola up was so worth it and the staff were efficient and reassuring. I preferred the sky rail to the gondola but I would recommend you do both. The stops to get off and walk to view the waterfall were great as well.Written 23 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Janet M1 contributionFantastic experience, leaving from Palm Cove to explore the waters and beaches around Double Island. Andy was a terrific guide (guide, attentive, knowledgeable) and we saw at least 20 turtles, a sting ray, a reef shark, and many birds. Our swim break and walk on the sand dune were terrific. A magical morning, and an experience I'd definitely recommend. One caution - booking directly appears to be much cheaper than what we paid through a third party!Written 11 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- srutherf24 contributionsExcellent half day tour. Coach driver Graham provided excellent courteous and prompt service. Has a wealth of informationWritten 26 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Vivien S4 contributionsGreat 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.Written 11 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Samantha R52 contributionsWhen my mom and I booked this tour we were thinking it would be a nice simple trip tour package that hits the main attractions, since the tour package was extremely affordable. However, every day our tours exceeded our expectations! The hotel they chose for us was in a great location and was very nice. Everything went smoothly, we had no issues whatsoever. I am so happy se booked through this tour company! I would highly recommend them!!!Written 27 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- injaloha2 contributionsA very full day of adventuring throughout FNQ. The Mercedes bus was extremely comfortable, and our guide, Michelle, was knowledgeable and funny. The lunch was lovely, and our many stops were well planned. Definitely well worth the money! We would highly recommend to anyone who wants a great overview of crocs, indigenous lore, beaches and rainforests. Photos and memories to keep with us for a long time!Written 11 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JRWFamily1969Launceston, Australia20 contributionsThe park was excellent,I’d highly recommend a visit. The staff were very informative and very funny. The demonstrations were awesome.

- 906chas1953Adelaide, Australia31 contributionsIt was a good value tour with a most knowledgeable driver. The church was amazing,, the museum and guide interesting, and a lovely afternoon tea. We love the Botanical Gardens, the views from the mountains and a lovely trip to Palm Cove. A thoroughly enjoyable day to see highlights of Cairns. Highly recommend.Written 16 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- RalMelbourne, Australia2 contributionsWelcomed by Nichole in Palm shop, set us up with great cruising Norcos for the day. Great way to see the beautiful beaches and enjoy lots of coffees. Would definitely recommend if you need a half day activity. Nichole had 3 sets of customers and calmly dealt with each group with efficiency and good vibes.
