The Daintree Rainforest tour and the Reef Magic tour were awesome. Staff of Cairns Discovery is very helpful and friendly. I received replies on email and calls very quickly. Highly recommended to book with them.

We did the city tour and morning river tour combination. The River tour was a bit lacking in commentary but interesting all the same. The afternoon tour was..fabulous. We saw lots and learnt even more. Eric was a mine of information and a good host/guide keeping us moving along from sight to sight. The tour gave us a good taster of the city and surrounds and as a bonus, we were able to go back to the Cairns local museum for free to check the exhibitions out more fully. The afternoon tour is a must, the river less so but all in all we had a really good day.

We did the Cairns Aquarium and half day tour combination. We enjoyed the Aquarium displays and informative talks and the lunch at Dundee's was better than expected. Unfortunately St Monica's Cathedral and the Lower Baron Gorge were both closed so our bus tour guide, John, had to fill in some gaps. Highlights of the tour, included the Museum, a nice afternoon tea, the Botanic Gardens, the scenic lookout and Palm Cove. Not having visited Cairns before it gave us a good overview of this attractive tropical city.

We want to thank the team at Cairns Discovery Tours for the best city tour we have experienced anywhere in the world. Not only were the choices of stops, the afternoon tea cafe and the lovely clean bus top class, but our driver was extremely knowledgeable and made our North Queensland history lesson so interesting and fun. We recommend this company for anyone wanting a fun and professional Cairns adventure.

One of the most fantastic tours we have done in Cairns, highly recommended and even though we had visited Cairns many times before we learnt so much more from this half day tour. Our tour guide Eric was so informative and his knowledge of all the places visited was amazing.From the worlds longest stained glass windows to the down town museum then a beautiful afternoon tea and on to the magnificent botanic gardens, (my personal highlight,) then up the Baron gorge and on to Palm cove , what an experience .Thank you Eric shall recommend you and the tour to any people we know heading north .

What a fantastic, informative and fun tour of Cairns and the surrounding region. Suitable for all ages, I do love the fact that you can go back to the museum for a more leisurely pace. Eric our guide had so much knowledge on the region that most locals don’t even know.
