A fantastic experience. Located in the heart of Cairns is a unique aquarium that is beautifully designed. There is lots of interesting information about Australia's marine life and reptiles. The staff are very nice and friendly. Shortly before the exit, you walk through a glass tunnel through a conglomerate of several connected pools, which contain giant rays and sharks, among other things, which I found absolutely impressive. The admission price of AUD 58 for adults is absolutely justified. I highly recommend a visit. 😁👌

Highlights of our visit was the stingray playing with the kids sliding through the curved aquarium floor. Also seeing these number of species were very awesome.

Tour group made what would seem like a complicated day trip very easy and enjoyable. Hotel pickup was appreciated. Tour lead provided tickets and instructions on how to execute the day. The Skyrail was a really neat trek and the town of Kuranda was definitely worth visiting. We had a great lunch up there and also paid to go into the Koala Gardens (mini zoo) where we could pet and feed kangaroos! The train ride home was memorable, though it is a long slow ride. Highly recommend booking this tour if you have an extra day in the Cairns area. Well worth it!

The Cairns Scenic Railway & Skyrail Kuranda Tour was one of those rare experiences we undertook during our visit to the great continent-county of Australia. The iconic and well presevered train transported us into another era. The commentary as we traversed through the widing tracks and the plethora of tunnels was very informative. The stops at the Barror Gorge and Falls was very good and sufficient to look in awe the grandeour of nature's work. The Kuranda village had a relaxed, bohemian vibe. We easily spent time wandering through its markets, cafes, and wildlife attractions. The return journey on the Skyrail was a standout. Gliding silently above the rainforest canopy feels almost surreal. We literally floating above one of the world’s oldest rainforests. The Skyrail offers a completely different perspective from the train — airy, expansive, and deeply peaceful.

This was a fantastic family experience. All staff were helpful and knowledgeable and ensured all in attendance were catered for. The boat was comfortable, the pontoon was well stocked and with more than enough room to not feel crowded and the lunch on Fitroy Island was delicious. Very happy we chose DunLoved yo tick off this bucket list item.

We love the snorkelling, the boat going back was really comfortable, the food was excellent
It would've been good to know that there was freshwater on the island and a place to have a picnic, we had no idea what to expect and didn't know that we didn't have to bring our own water, I didn't realise there was an entire hotel there either
What would've been excellent would have been telling us to go to the left of the wharf for an easy entrance to snorkelling especially for little kids, we were just dumped on the island so we didn't know where to go, and we heard our feet on the coral
The boarding of the boat took very very long time over half an hour and they could've just done a public announcement that we needed to collect a year on the third level instead of individually telling everyone really slowly
We had an amazing day and the food was really good in the lunchbox etc but more info would have been better
I also had no idea how long the boat trip was from Cairns to the island, there was literally no information
FAQ: how long to island, is there fresh water, where to snorkel
