It 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.

Chance to see so many different colorful fish. The staff were very friendly. They accommodated us even when we came a day ahead of schedule. One staff Indigo was outstanding in helping us around the facility including getting us in the group tour on the same day that was also scheduled the following day. All in all best time at the Cairns and the group tour. Chris the small grp tour guide very knowledgeable and friendly.

This is amazing to see 20ft high enclosed fish tank. It's huge. The talks that are given throughout the Aquarium and very informative and engaging. Every exhibit is very well presented. The best, is feeding time in the huge tank as the fish know when it is about to happen. Really beautiful to see the diverse living coral reefs. Something for all age groups as the portholes at a lower level for young children to see in. It also includes reptiles and frogs from inland Queensland waterways..
