★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 2,328 reviews · 9 hours · from $184

Review of K'gari’s full-day 4WD coach tour from Hervey Bay, with Lake McKenzie, Eli Creek, Maheno Shipwreck, lunch, and ferry transfers.

“Our bus tour is on a 4X4 bus and goes everywhere on the sand. All the roads on the island are all sand and Steve our bus driver was outstanding. We drove on 75 mile beach & saw the most famous shipwreck the SS Maheno, a rusted ocean liner stranded on 75 Mile Beach since 1935. We visited The Pinnacles, a series of striking, multi-coloured sand cliffs.

7.Full-Day Green Island Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,584 reviews · 8 hours · from $77

Review of the full-day Green Island cruise from Cairns, with snorkeling, reef viewing, beaches, lunch options, practical tips, and value advice.

“I loved every part of the experience — the peaceful walk through the national park, followed by a refreshing swim in pristine waters. Next time, I’d definitely give snorkelling a go. The buffet lunch was delicious, and the glass-bottom boat experience was unforgettable. Our guide was truly amazing, sharing his knowledge of the coral reef while entertaining us with his dry wit and having us giggling throughout the trip. Seeing wild green sea turtles in their natural habitat was the perfect highlight. Well worth the price — I would definitely recommend it”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 1,432 reviews · from $181

Review of Divers Den’s Cairns reef tour, with two outer reef sites, guided snorkeling, meals, gear, hot showers, and practical tips.

“Absolutely breathtaking. Highly recommend. I had to cancel the dive and switch to snorkeling because of my flight time but I saw just as much and had just as great of an experience as I would have had I been diving. There is a photographer who takes incredible pics- don’t forget to look before you leave! The guides were amazing. Helpful, and present. The safety procedures were top notch and the whole operation was a finely tuned machine.”
