"It is recommended to live in Shangri-La, it is convenient to eat and walk around, 200 meters from the pier. The outer Barrier Reef is worth going, and you have to go early. Now the coral color is less, the activity is degraded, and the effect of going late is even worse. Merchant service is very good, always track orders."

"This time the Cairns Sun Lovers Great Barrier Reef cruise ship is the right cruise ship company. It is very attentive. After playing and enjoying the viewing of different ships on the Great Barrier Reef, I am very satisfied and excited. I spent a perfect day and will come back when I have time. Thank you for the hard work of the ship staff."

"Although the boat journey is large, it feels worth it after arriving at the Great Barrier Reef! The water is very clear and the corals are very diverse; there are also different fish. The sea is large and snorkeling is more difficult. It will be more fun if you choose a non-rainy season!"

"As expected, there were creatures in the rainforest in Cairns and aquariums, and the more interesting I looked at it, the more interesting I looked at it. 😂 And the colorful coral was beautiful! (This is a living coral! !! laughter)"

"The plane skimmed low.. The blue beauty of Tiffany in front of us is suffocating. We took a helicopter from Hamilton Island. After passing through Hill Bay and White Paradise Beach, we flew about 20 minutes to the sea between the deep and shallow sea beds. This time we have entered the Great Barrier Reef. Arrive at Heart Reef Heart Reef Pilot will specially remind and fly low"

"It was a very long and open beach! The wind is comfortable and I think it's the best for a beach picnic ✨✨ There was a place where you could barbecue along the sea 🍗 However, it was a pity that it was raining a little 💧"

"The Great Barrier Reef is divided into the Inner Barrier Reef and the Outer Barrier Reef. The difference is that the Inner Barrier Reef is closer to Cairns. There are many people but the coral and sea scenery are far less than the Outer Barrier Reef. The Outer Barrier Reef is far away from Cairns. The Moore Reef is the closest to Cairns. The Outer Barrier Reef is very crystal The colorful coral reefs, which are located on the seabed's tiny white sand beds, are a wonderful sight whether they are sitting on a helicopter overlooking the entire Great Barrier Reef or diving into the sea to watch various tropical fish shuttle between the corals."

"It’s a really lovely walk along the esplanade & the promenade - lots of beautiful views and wildlife."

"The most famous Cairns snorkeling depth and the starting point of helicopter activities, the pier is relatively large, docking on the magical Great Barrier Reef, Yinsuo, Sunshine Lovers and other cruise ships, there are many seafood famous Western restaurants, there are also bars, It is very lively until the evening, and you can hear the sound of seagulls and various seabirds. The morning sun shines to make people full of vitality and yearning."

"The Great Barrier Reef is a popular way to visit the Great Barrier Reef. A group of 6 people took a sightseeing helicopter from a professional helicopter company. It took about an hour and a half to circle the Great Barrier Reef. It is really beautiful to enjoy the Great Barrier Reef from a high altitude. The colors are shallow and deep. The islands of various shapes are like pearls set in the blue sea. It's really beautiful."
