A special thanks to Ben at Ace Car Rentals & Matt at Rydges Tradewinds in Cairns. Both you guys made our trip to Cairns one to remember. The views from our hotel balcony were absolutely stunning! Doesn't get much better then waking up to a panoramic view of the aqua blue waters of the Pacific Ocean. It was Easter Weekend and the place was bustling. I have to say Cairns was not my favourite spot. Due to jelly fish and crocodiles, it is not recommended your swim at the beaches, notwithstanding that the beaches are more of a mud bog in this area. The place is a total tourist trap and much of the retail and restaurant business is owned and operated by Asians. Not much to do in Cairns other than it is the main departure point to the Great Barrier Reef.
We had a fantastic reef experience with Daytripper Tours. Mark, Derek & Iris were awesome hosts and guides. Mark is the owner of the company and captain of the cat. Derek & Iris geared up and toured us around the reef for the entire excursion, which was a real bonus. This is something we have never experienced in our other snorkelling tours and it certainly gave everybody and opportunity to see things we normally wouldn't have noticed. We took a break at noon for a buffet lunch and then right back in the waters. We would highly recommend Daytripper!
