🇦🇺 Cairns in a Nutshell – Is It Worth It?

If you love the ocean & diving 🤿 → ✅ YES If you like chill, relaxed trips → ✅ YES Here’s my straight-to-the-point take: 🚢 Sunlover Reef Cruise ✔️ Take seasickness pills – no exceptions! Everyone who “toughs it out” ends up regretting it 😵 ✔️ Paid extras: Helicopter 👍 Intro scuba 👍 Seawalker (if you’re not into diving) ✔️ Lunch, hot drinks + full snorkel gear included Rating: 4.5/5 I did scuba, my mom did the helicopter – both were worth it! Almost chose another boat, but Sunlover is more family-friendly 👨‍👩‍👧 🚫 Not ideal if you won’t go in the water or join paid activities – 5 hours at sea with no Wi-Fi = boring! 🚞 Rainforest Day Trip ✔️ Cable car up + scenic train down 👍 ✔️ Easy-paced – great for families + older folks ✔️ Better to book a tour – don’t risk missing the last train/cable car! ✔️ Koala photo op 📸 ✅ Rating: 4/5 🚫 Could use more activities – but the 2-hour train ride back was fun chatting with others! Didn’t make it to Paronella Park (next time! 😉) ‼️ Book tours through agencies – it’s cheaper than booking alone! #Melbourne #StudyInMelbourne #Cairns #CairnsTravel #CairnsFood #CairnsGuide #CairnsDiving #CairnsHotels
