Fantastic 5.0
It was good! I recommend taking it one way. It was so slow that I got a little sleepy. Barron Falls doesn't have much water during the dry season, so it's not that grand. I recommend taking it one way and then taking the Skyrail or a bus.

That trip was fantastic, very well organized. We could choose from glass boat or snorkeling hire and could use resort facilities. The boat was fantastic and snorkeling good, island itself is beautiful too. This trip is very recommended. The vessel boat was great too, boat leaves on time. Great crew 👌

Easy to use. Very convenient, you don't need to go somewhere to claim a Sim card. Just log in and follow instructions then you can use the internet. Signal is good anywhere in Sydney and Melbourne.

SCUBA diving can be a bit challenging for the first time. First, ensure the following safety measures: 1. Disclose any medications you are taking, aside from birth control or motion sickness medication. (Some chronic medications may require a doctor's authorization for diving.) 2. Allow 18 hours between a dive and flying. Service details: 1. Transportation to the pier is not included. You are responsible for getting to the pier for check-in. 2. We recommend taking motion sickness medication. If you don't have any, it is available for purchase on board. 3. A simple breakfast and lunch are provided on board. 4. Wetsuits are available for rent. 5. We provide personal fins, diving masks, and storage compartments. There are also shared life jackets available for snorkeling. After boarding and before departure, you will need to fill out a safety notice and health questionnaire. Then, our staff will explain how to use the diving equipment. Once the boat is anchored, you can snorkel and free dive from the back of the boat. SCUBA diving is done in groups. This tour includes stops at two dive sites. Before your SCUBA dive, you will practice on the side of the boat. Then, the instructor will guide you, hand-in-hand, to depths of approximately 10 meters or more. However, first-time divers are not allowed to bring photography equipment. A dive photographer will take photos for everyone. The staff are very helpful, and the Great Barrier Reef is well worth the experience.

I highly recommend to avail this pass. It really save us a lot of money for about 30% for the 2 tours. You can maximize it if you planned it well. We've used it for Penguin Parade, Wildlife & Phillip Island Day Tour from Melbourne (Php 5,850 each) and Port Stephens One Day Tour: Dolphin and Koala Encounter (Php 8,127 each). For the 1st Tour, Go West Tours catered us. James C is amazingly knowleadgable tour guide/driver. He provided us tips and heaps of facts about the tour and Australia. The Brighton Boxes are so quite and uniquely colorful against the sand and sea. We experienced to feed the kangaroos and waddle like penguins while watching them stride from the beach. For the 2nd tour, it was Brighton Tours took care of us. Gordon and Tom are quite entertaining and masters in their work. Watching the dolphins in Moonshadow cruise plus having our lunch their was a one of a kind experience. Got to see the Koalas, enjoyed sand boarding and got to snap a pic in the beach.

Great 4.0
This review is based on the Skyrail experience since my railroad trip was cancelled due to too much rain. the original itinerary was to take the sky rail over to Kuranda and the railroad back from Kuranda. The Skyrail ride was just OK. You got to see all the tops of the trees and maybe if the weather was nice maybe you get a better view but today I was there. It was very cloudy and it’s hard to see off to the distance.. there were some nice use of baron Falls. while I was in Kuranda, I hiked to the Barron Falls viewing point that you would see from the railroad. I believe the views from the railroad side were nicer.

I decided to write this because the crew, the experience and the orderly manner this tour was run was impressive. we went to two different reefs and saw 10+ diff species of fish, a whale shark and many turtles (from the air). but what was impressive was how ordered things were. they did a headcount before leaving each location and had lookout everywhere. safety was taken seriously. stinger suits, snorkeling equipment were all lent for free, which is not necessarily true in other tours, like the one to fitzroy. food was decent and plentiful. drink too. helicopter pilot Matt was amazing at his work. top job.

Great 4.0
It was very convenient for my family to join this Green Island tour through Klook, and the flight transfer was quick and easy. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't good that day. It was windy, rainy, and cold. We only got to go into the water for a short time when the sun came out around noon. It must be beautiful when the weather is good. The buffet lunch was enjoyed on the boat and tasted pretty good! The boat staff were polite and helpful, especially the two Cantonese-speaking girls.
