This is a fantastic tour that anyone visiting the Reef and wanting to pack a lot of sightseeing in to 2 days will love. Unfortunately for us, it had rained for 4 days prior to our visit and a landslide made using the train impossible...BUT the tour company bused us out to Kuranda and handled the change very professionally at the last minute. You will love this package!!

Green Island was a Love/Hate experience. Green Island, in and of itself is an exceptional place. It is small, the snorkeling is good, the walk through the Reserve is a great learning experience. The Hate part comes from the crowds, there were so many people it was hard to move around. I would relate this experience to being in Disneyland during a holiday....not fun. If you are an experienced diver or snorkeler and don't like crowds I would not recommend this tour.
The Kuranda Day Trip would be the highlight of this package. It is well organized and a very enjoyable day. Kuranda was a beautiful town and the people very friendly. The Rainforestation was something special. It was fun, interesting and educational. The food was plentiful and very good. I do wish the package had an option out for the train. I would have preferred to take the SkyRail both directions.

The two days were good value and very well run - slick operations with no hassle. Both the Great Barrier Reef and Rain Forest were fantastic experiences. The walk round Green Island was well worth doing and easy to work into the schedule. Food and drink excellent on both days. Would have been nice to see a few more turtles on the GBR!

The scenery was more than expected. Green Island Great Barrier Reef tour was breath taking. If anyone goes there, I would recommend adding the lunch as an extra. The food at both places was well worth the cost.The rain forest tour was another trip I would highly recommend. Going up into the mountains by train was worth every penny. If this is a Once in a Lifetime trip, do it. You will not be disappointed!

This was a fabulous excursion! Be prepared on the cruise with a bag to carry your snorkeling equipment. The equipment is included, but not a bag to carry it ashore. Also you will need change for locker use. Enjoy!

A great package. While Green island isn’t as impressive and very commercialized, it definitely quenched the urge to see some of the GBR. The 2nd day at Kuranda was amazing. The tour organizer runs it like a well oiled machine!

Tour was Amazing and it's a must do thing if you're visiting Cairns. Very informative for all

The ultimate package you need to explore Cairns. I had an awesome time.

A few things conspired to make this an underwhelming experience. First of all, there are apparently two days per year when the train doesn't run. Rather than not let me book this tour, or even contact me after to tell me that there was no train, the tour company just unilaterally moved my tour days up by a day -- notwithstanding the fact that I wasn't even in Cairns yet. And they wondered where I was when they tried to pick me up at my hotel that morning... I was in Melbourne. Before you read the below, know that all the actual tour guides and other employees were awesome. This is no reflection on them.

THE CRUISE - it was totally and completely packed. To the gills. We were on there like sardines. Several hundred of us. It was an extremely windy day and the boat was careening and lurching as it sped toward the island. It is with no exaggeration that I say at least 100 people got seasick on the way over -- vomiting and retching into sickbags. Once we got to the island, they just dumped us off. You are on your own, so be prepared for that. I thought it was on an organized day tour, but it was really just transportation there and back and lunch. Because of the screw up with my days, they gave me a ride on the glass bottom boat and the semi-submarine for free. It was so windy that day and the sea was so murky, that we really couldn't see anything. Not to mention that we were just herded around like cattle and squeezed into these little boats.

THE RAINFOREST - unfortunately, it did what rainforests do and it poured down rain pretty much the whole day. Because the train wasn't running, they took us up on a bus no refund for the very expensive train ticket I had paid for, by the way. The train would have dropped us about 10am, but the bus dropped us about 9am. You should know that nothing opens until 10am up there, so we all basically huddled away from the rain for an hour waiting for things to open. It is all shopping up there. If you want a kangaroo fur bikini, then this is the trip for you. A bunch of kitchy little stalls selling you stuff I promise you don't need. We had several hours in the town, so I went to the butterfly sanctuary, which was pretty cool. We then got taken for our lunch which was meh and to the rainforest part. We did an army duckboat tour, which was awesome. Learned a lot from our very funny tour guide. We also went to an animal sanctuary, wherein I got to feed a Wallaby and see kangaroos, wombats, crocodiles, tasmanian devils, and other interesting creatures. Considering this was probably my only opportunity for this on my trip, I was glad to have been able to do that. We took the Skyrail down, which was very cool. Just coming down through the clouds, down the mountain.

So, just make sure you aren't on a ship with 300 seasick people and that the train is running and you should be okay.

Perfect way to take a two day tour in Cairns, both days are great and so different from each other
