    Cairns seems like the place to be in Australia! There is so much for everyone to do! For us, I think Fairy Falls and the zip line park would be must dos. Although Goliath would scare me quite a bit 😮😊

    Definitely the place to be and one of the biggest tourist hubs in Australia.... so many visits up there, over the years to see a friend from school and she works for Skyrail that I featured. Goliath just seemed to sit there but I wasn't there for long taking photos...lol. I love all the natural waterfalls and places to swim, but way too cold this trip... need more summer heat...lol

    Fairy Falls is a very special place, make sure if your visiting to stay on tracks. Be careful on the rocks and please don't try to build rock dams or move logs. This is a habitat for creatures.

    This is perfect. Felt like i was watching a program on the telle. I really have to figure out what to do on my short 3 night trip to Cairns soon. I want to see things I can't see anywhere else but I'm ballin on a budget. May I ask what reef experience you recommend if I am unsure I'll be confident or energetic enough to snorkel. I don't deal with heat and humidity well so I'm a bit stuck on recognising my abilities and wanting to enjoy my adventures. I already feel like I'd be bored and trapped on the train & sky rail but the point is to take in your surroundings. I'm scared the crocodiles with kill me & mozzys eat me alive and ruin my life. Will have to travel with antihistamines & steroid cream so the tropical mozzys don't ruin my holiday. if I hire a car it wouldn't be a 4wd. Does that make having a car pointless to get around in if going to Daintree and the likes or do you main tourist spots have easy access. I saw some dirt roads. Thanks again for this and I should go watch the other videos now

    Hi there and thanks very much for your comment. So glad you liked the video and found it useful. 😁 If you on a budget and want to see the reef, then go to green island or Fitzroy island. Both are closer, cheaper and enter the reef portions straight from the beach... check out my green island video. The outer reef tours are dearer and you'll be snorkeling in 20 metre deep waters... not something a novice snorkeller will want. If you want to go to kuranda then skyrail will be better than the train. 2hrs train compared to 45 minutes on skyrail and you can stop twice along the way. As for daintree, are you travelling solo? Daintree roads are mostly sealed and ok for a rental car, but the long windy roads I would hesitate on your own. Tours are available and easy day trip from cairns...plus helps with the ferry crossing. The croc tours are perfectly safe but you don't have to do them... also be cautious with beaches and rivers. I have a blog link in the video description to help with hotel/tour bookings or more info... otherwise feel free to ask 👍👍

    It seems so touristy now. No thanks. I was there 20 years ago. Much nicer back then. I hate tours. All these awful tour groups destroy the ambience of any rainforest hike or waterfall swim.

    Your probably right, I see some of the tour groups these days packed in like sardines and not really my favourite either. There are ways around it but comes down to budget sometimes. Most of my touring around in this video was done on our own and limits crowds in some ways, but not always avoidable.
